“How’s it going? I don’t like sitting on my arse, unless I'm driving. I get up at 5am and like to get out on my bike before work. When I'm pedalling, I think ‘I'm so lucky to be able to be out doing this.’ I'm addicted to work, I don’t like routine but I like things to be a certain way, if that makes sense. I like doing things my way, the right way. I've had my eyes opened for the last ten years or more and I'm still learning. I’m always looking for a new challenge but sometimes the challenges seem to find me. Keep at it, ta, Guy."

Lives in Lincolnshire, spent sometime in Ireland working and racing but never lived more than 10 miles from where he grew up.

Lorry mechanic, apprenticeship with Volvo when he was 16.

Worked for various commercial vehicle companies, including his Dad’s business in Lincolnshire.

Still works as a lorry mechanic, servicing and MOT work for a haulage company.

Guy started road racing on motorbikes in 2003, he still races in Classic and odd ball events. In 2010 someone suggested he could do more than talk about motorbikes and he started doing some TV jobs. It's the opportunities Guy enjoys, the variation and meeting interesting folk and a few records along the way. No scripts, no bull shit, just get on with it!
