I had posted a similar link before that didn't work and then found this one and thought that I would re-share it I found it a great source of ideas

That is really neat! But now I have another thing that I have to watch because I have got to see how this all ends. Thanks for posting.

Guy is such an appealing character that you won't be surprised to know he has a huge fan following for his motorbike racing. One of his specialities is the TT - a 37-mile race circuit on public roads round the Isle of Man, an island off Britain. Here is wonderful on-bike footage of a fast lap with Guy providing a very modest commentary:

I rewatched the serries and it gets the mind thinking of ideas on different ways of doing things I hope you enjoyed the few episodes that were there

I for one really enjoyed the series. I was sorry that there were only six episodes. I would really enjoy him build something else.

There is a DVD out called" Closer to the Edge" about the TT and mainly about Guy Martin.
It shows the horrendous crash he had in 2010 , god knows how he survived that one //// a very lucky fellow,
