Fantastic documentary Victoria! Proud to have brilliant documentary makers such as yourself on our team.

[@victoriaquinn3313]

Thank you!! Hearing this has helped with the motivation levels for my FYP documentary haha

[@thisisnotmyname4700]

Guy Martin, Nice guy, and he's genuine!

[@leeelliott8611]

Great video,wish it was longer,goodwork

[@GrrMeister]

Guy Martin : He has proved to be a great Presenter of TV programs, love to see him on BBC's "Top Gear" and he could probably get this back from the 'doldrums' it now is.

I went for a ride down some winding lanes on one of my bikes , a 125 , a thought occurred to me during this fun journey ... most of the human race couldnt handle this .. no seat belt , nor air bag .. never mind , they miss so much :-)

[@AG-ti6cp]

Very well put together and interesting, real coup in getting to interview these racers

The minute you doubt urself or ur position being there get out

[@NextApex]

Brilliant wee video! I'm aiming to come over from Canada do my first proper Irish road races, Cookstown and Tandragee, in 2018 and this gives me even more encouragement. Very well done, Victoria.

[@catherinegavin6306]

You have picked a couple of great wee races to visit. Enjoy :-)

[@NextApex]

Thanks, Catherine, I can't wait! Working on getting my entries sorted to do those races.

[@victoriaquinn3313]

Thank you! I'll be at both races filming for an extended version of this documentary. Best of luck if you are at them!!

[@NextApex]

Thanks Victoria, I did race at Cookstown and Tandragee and loved every minute of the experience!

[@krm8494]

Guy Martin is the guy. Great personality.

[@LostMines]

Enjoyed this, many thanks Al

[@yorkshirepudding681]

Guy Martin - smashing bloke, had his best chance at the IOM when partnered with the Morecambe missile in 2017 on a factory Honda but the bike let them both down. Great shame but it looks like we'll never see him win the one that matters, the Senior TT, because as he says in this short film, he has other considerations now and when all is said and done he isn't/wasn't a professional road racer, it's only ever been a hobby to him. Even the great John McGuinness told him he'd be great if he gave it 100% and jacked-in his day job, but as Guy has often reminded us, he's a truck mechanic first and the racing is only a hobby. Great film bye the way Victoria - hope it provides you with the platform to develop a really fruitful career...

Fantastic video Victoria

[@tbrowniscool]

Amazing video !

[@victoriaquinn3313]

Thank you!! Having Glenn on board with this documentary has been brilliant.

[@anthonydiridoni7347]

Club Raced for 10 years... So what, who cares. These guys speak the Truth !

[@bonusmafia2408]

ถ้าคุณคิดว่ามัน "อันตราย" คุณก็แค่กลับไปถางหญ้าข้างบ้านซ่ะ.!! ที่เหลือก็..ก็แค่ปล่อยให้เป็นหน้าที่ "ของผม" Cr. Guy Martin Thailand👍👍🏆🏆🏍🏍🏁🏁✌✌

[@sepulture777]

a very good peace that did catch the tragedy and the amazement of racing with a neutral approach

[@catapfract]

Great movie ....it seems that we all are with on imagination and motivation...very good movie

[@davidyoung7563]

Cracking film thanks for making it

[@efilrekib4446]

Glen is a gem on & off the track..........

[@zidwid]

very well put together. Good job.

[@missydee6085]

I really enjoyed that, Victoria. You really have a a great talent for documenting the thoughts of our Road Racing heroes: & I very much look forward to seeing more of your work in future. Your sensitive touch provides a healthy counterpoint to the oft' testosterone-fuelled, high-octane approach to motorcycle sport film making. Good luck & best wishes.

[@victoriaquinn3313]

Thank you, it's lovely to hear such positive feedback! I'll be uploading an updated version of this documentary in May featuring even more familiar faces so keep an eye out!

[@theenglishman9596]

I realy realy like Guy Martin, so I wish he would now stop racing if only for his family's sake and his wellbeing. There is a limit to the amount of times you can get away with it. I think I would be really upset if the worst ever happened but I pray it never will.

[@RubsfromRamsey]

I think he has retired from mainstream road racing but I wouldnt be surprised to see him do classic road racing

[@nickshades6727]

He did stop.

[@deedge73]

Thank you Victoria. 😎👌

[@SimUKReviews]

Very nice Victoria. Did you make this doco yourself? If so, well done really good.

[@victoriaquinn3313]

Yes I made it myself. Thank you, appreciate the positive feedback!

[@wadebrennan-millar3028]

Awesome man, good look at Men who run this gauntlet. Makes us mere blood sacks realise we aren't living lol

[@motor1144]

Guy....leave the leathers on the hook, you did yourself and your fans proud you have nothing more to prove.Great little video......

[@JBWalton03]

Great little doc. I respect what these riders do, although I struggle with road racing as a spectator. There is no doubt its exciting but it just seems so dangerous. I don't want to watch riders lose their lives.

[@harryhoarder]

fantastic video!!! Been following road racing for years true sport the guys and girls do it for the love and thrill not the money. Respect to all of you.

[@heliopolis29]

Compelling insights. Thanks for posting Victoria.

[@georgebrown292]

[@Anonymous-or4ru]

It's lol not loo. But maybe you were touching cloth and chucking a shit was on your mind

[@TheGoldenPig.]

Nice video but lets be honest here...You basically ripped off closer to the edge with the intro

[@philgreen6084]

Lose the frigging clicking noise.

[@paulmcgarry9224]

That's a typewriter buddy.
