Now then, plenty’s been going on – what with the Cartagena testing and all that. It’s all looking good. We did a serious amount of laps – mainly on the superbike and superstock machines. My supersport bike isn’t quite ready but I rode Alistair Seeley’s just to get an idea of what it’s like. They’re all as trick as you like and the team itself is spot on. They’re even on top form as far as the brew making goes – so what more could anyone ask for? And I’ve even got a new mug – what do you think?
Ta very much to photographer Simon Lee for sending me the trick as you like belt made from a mountain bike tyre! Now, I’m not into fashion in the slightest but belts like this are few and far between – so it has to be the coolest belt ever, what do you reckon? What else has been happening – err….I’ve also had some special bolts made for me mountain bike – proper, top quality bolts these.
I’ll post some details about a competition soon – so keep an eye on the blog …..oh – and I’ll also give you an update on lady Martec. Who knows, she’ll maybe even get to put in an appearance at Goodwood soon!
cannot wait to see the martek!!! if its at goodwood, i may just have to gan along down with a few mates!! woulodnt mind an engine like the martek’s for my mini, be a reyt job of a machine!
Ow Do matey
Looking good and loving the mug mmmm when they on sale? belt looks the dogs danglies.
When is your supersport bike gonna be available so we can check you out on that?
Keep us informed matey
Now then Mr.Martin.
Just seen that you’re a Dambusters expert amongst all your other talents. I love the Lanc and I’m lucky enough to only live about 10 miles away from Coningsby, so I get to see the BBMF quite often. It’d be great if the BBC would let you have a series tinkering on a WWII aircraft.
Loving ‘The boat that Guy built’ by the way…….so much so that I have to watch the repeat too!!!! I hope you’ll be doing another series at some point.
My uncle is ‘Farmer Wink’………famous for his local Lincolnshire dialect(you might have heard of him??) so we get what you’re on about and we think it’s great to have the local lingo on prime-time telly.
Anyway, good luck for the 2011 bike season mate.
All the best,
Crystal.
That belt looks bang on, wouldnt mind one meself like. The new mug looks decent too, very impressive, looking forward to seeing how you do this year, and really really enjoying The Boat That Guy Built too, spot on is that.
Hey Guy,
Love the mug shot and know a few people who have a few spare tyres round their waist…you’re not one though
Loving the show …im a fellow engineer (biofuels) and work with an engine performance test lab!! so if youre ever back in brum..we work about 5mins from the boulton/watt engine 
keep up the great work and good luck for the season.x
Nice work Guy, Loving the ‘The Boat that Guy Built’ and like someone else has said, i watch it again after recording it, repeats on Sunday too. Its good to see a couple of mate’s having a laugh together and who appreciate what Great Britain has done. Like the Mug as well.
Regards
Brad
Hi out there,just to say looking forward in seeing,& meeting Guy at the Oulton Park meeting…Not long to Go as i count the days…..
if you ever back at the marina in macclesfield and you fancy a mug of Yorkshire, call in at the tool shop next door, I would be honoured to put the brew on.
Guy nice mug M8, but the belt is pure high roller all the way son!!!
Cooper the dog asks if you’ll remove picture 3 because you’re going to blow his cover. If the FBI hear about this he’ll end up in big trouble!
Alright there Mr M!
Cheers for the latest exciting update (especially the all-new Brew Bucket). Not that sure about the belt tho’ tbh. Is it wise to have a spare tyre round your waist – bearing in mind the ol’ unsprung weight implications?!
Can’t wait to cheer you on in person at TT 2011. Hoping it’ll be your year after Hutchy got all greedy at the last time.
Oh, & could you let us know what day you’ll be putting in an appearance at The Festival O’ Speed please? It’s only up the road from me in Sunny Sussexshire & it’d be rude not to pop along & say hello.
Take it steady mate & get that kettle on innit! X
quality maxxis high roller belt there
wish i had one and looking foward to seeing more on the martec

FAB MUG GUY!!LOVING THE BOAT THAT GUY BUILT!I AM A HUGE FAN OF VINTAGE CARS AND BIKES..DO YOU LIKE THEM?X
I don’t know what your playing at
a delivery of a 60ft boat in my garden was not what I bargained for
yes you can store a few things to tide you over better check it out or it goes in the bin
love your Auntie Dee xxx
ps are you eating enough son x
Just seen your programme.Great to see the spirit of Fred Dibnah alive and kicking – might renew the TV licence after all.
The mug looks good – and the tv programme is great
All the best with the racing, and looking forward to having a chat – and offering HobNobs – at the TT!
GO BIG, Guy
Love Carole xx & Tom.
Only 73 days to go – then pizza time!
watch the show twice a week the whole family love it – from the 9 year old to the 70+’s . Turned over after Sundays show to watch the motoGP and I now have a question – What’s with the Honda orange sheets? ! perhaps you should do a spare set in TAS suzuki colours!
Nice bucket there mate! Makes me want another pint o’ tea. Loving the boat that you built too. Watch the repeats and when it’s recorded!!!
Hope to support you soon. I would love to talk tractors! Also, I have a passion for WWII boats, especially submarines. Not quite the same as reckless I will admit!
Good luck fo’ this year chief
Time for brew number 5 methinks xxxxx
That’s a gorgeous hound in your belt picture too. Is it yours? Boxer by any chance?
I have gone old school with lurchers. Got a greyhound x and a whippet x. Love to go out with mi flat cap! It’s like 19 century Manchester
Could do with that belt to hold mi trousies up!
Now then, Guy.
Been watching & enjoying your program and entertaining it is to so I thought I would take a look at your site.
I see your interested in Lancaster Bombers – this struck a chord as my Father was a wireless operator in the very same planes in WW2.
And where do you think he was based – none other than at Kirmington – he was in teh 166 squadron and used to drink in the Chopper(Marrowbone and Cleaver).
Anyway my Dad would have loved your program.
He was into motorbikes too, lived on the IOM, he passed his passion onto my elder brother.
Anyway, good luck for the forthcoming season.
regards
W1lks
now then youth, like the look of your belt, i not sure what make it is but you could get ya missis to tie you up with it and make it a goodyear
Due to the canal boat series, the girls and old dears at work have become interested in Faraday etc. and motor bike racing. They were struck dumb by The “accident” I showed them. Plus they loved the shower scene …the things they want to do to you!!
Loving the boat that guy built, interesting and funny at the same time – even converted the kids to watch it now a bit of history does them good. Anyhow, just wanted to say good luck for the season and all the best for the TT this year, xx
Have been loving the TV series. Great to hear some local Lincs lingo on prime slot telly, flying the flag for us yeller bellies! Even got my 8 year old daughter saying chief, boss and mate (she has a soft spot for Mave!) We really hope you get to do another series with the BBC – you’re a natural. There must be loads of possibilities – maybe a train like you mentioned on the show, or something with the BBMF and the inventions they came up with during the war? All the best and well done.
Dear guy!!

I tried to talk to you once at brands but got pushed aside by some one

Inspired use of a High Roller for a belt! Why haven’t I seen people at races with these??
Hmm… Got a couple of 2.7′s round back of shed
Good to see you on a black bike too, keep it pinned!!!
Guy, hiya I had the great pleasure of spending many hours watching your skills in fine detail while working on TT3D and as previous commentators have said glued to your Boat Series. Looking forward to Trains next then? I wish you every success in this years TT, May The Force Be With You and watch out for that full tank of fuel!! Best wishes Ian
Interesting fact, hmm…. Did you know that hot water is heavier than cold water.
No no, that’s rubbish, try again.. Did you know that a ducks quack doesn’t echo! Hmmm interesting, better??
Do I win? I’ll make you a nice home made brew in the mug when u finish the TT this year, I’m only down the south of the island
