I swear he has balls made of Chuck Norris; the hardest substance known to man.

Its also a little known fact that because of the denseness of material and sheer mass hanging in his scrote, theres actually two supermassive black holes there instead of testicles.

The Big Bang happened when he had a tank slapper.

I know he is a great character and all .. but his record doesn't put him in the league of some of the other dudes does it? So why the "nutter" etc comments constantly about him? Why not all the other nutters out there, and the ones going faster and winning? They must be even nuttier to push that little bit more than Guy.

Or maybe it's just that shitty old man show he made on the boat that put me on a downer

Agree with Wally.. What about John McGuinness? He's raced and won the TT more times successfully than Guy, so he must be even crazier..

As far as I'm concerned, any of the guys who race super bikes in the IOM TT are complete and utter nut jobs.

Well as I said to old mate John this year "Can I get a photo with you". Don't think I waited for an answer but he didn't seem upset.

Guy is really popular as he is offbeat to the main group of riders, so he stands out as a personality.

The ones I admire are the privateers and people who support them, in pretty basic conditions at the back of the paddock. They really do it hard but keep coming back for more.

If you really want nutters look at the sidecar monkeys, they don't even have control of the bike as they race around.

Much like Iannone in Moto2, he didn't win the championship, was consistently beaten by Marquez and Bradl, but Iannone is the one referred to as a nutjob

Anyone who rides IOM TT is a nutter, and every one a hero of ours. Even if we make shitcunt remarks about the back runners, we still see them as gods. Same goes for any category of motorcycle racing. The big winners have typically been nice guys or appropriately bad guys for ages and we like them for that. Martin is no champion but he is magnetic and engaging above and beyond the rest. We like him. He invites us in for a conversation and greets us with warmth and thus we want him to triumph but we don't reaaaaally care if he doesn't. All we really want is that he doesn't die and continues to entertain us with his energetic commentary and extraordinary skills that all of us without exception wish we had.

Into a Wedgewood cup he made. Good series that.

Don't know how Wally missed these comments... LOL.

Hehe .. I saw them, but figured it was just two old men having a yarn and wasn't interested

I thought it would be a good show, and it had its moments (I think I saw the first 2?) .. but yeah .. realised quickly that it was really just an old fogies show hosted by a young(er) funny dude ..
