During the Isle of Man TT 2017, RST Superbike race, Honda Racing’s Guy Martin unfortunately crashed at Doran's bend on his first lap. Guy reported that he hit a "box of neutrals" which caused him to berm the kerb and take a tumble.
Thankfully, Guy Martin walked away from the crash with only a bruised wrist and hopefully he'll be able to continue the rest of his TT 2017 campaign.

"...sliding down the road, just waiting for the big stop."
He knew he was a dead man; still surprised to be alive during this interview.
shame isn't it
@@jhart7304 OK muppet, I'll give you some attention. Sick twat...
You can see on his face he's still suffering shock.
MrStoneycool69 yeah he is. Damn.
Raw adrenaline
The Adrenaline rushes these guys get are addictive...
@@brianpeters7847 not those ones. They take awhile to recover from.
That isn't shock, that's disappointment. He wasn't injured, shock only lasts about 10 minutes.
That's a man who's seen death.
He looks like he had accepted that it was the end and is slightly bewildered/shocked/stunned by the whole thing. Scary moment for him
That moment when the gear drops out ... then that split second later when you can't get it back! Definition of bricking it.
ill say/type !
@@fishfingers1985 I wouldn't call him a sook. He's been in tons of crashes. Your adrenaline is pumping from riding already and then something like that happens and you're in shock for the rest of the day. I've cheated death on my bike a few times and there is no way I would come off as being normal if someone were to interview me right after.
oh wow watch out. might need smell like a btch shirt off gtaV. not jus not in the mood. some lames anyway
I've never seen Guy so genuinely freaked.
@don't care he wasn't shocked, or freaked. What you are seeing is nothing more than anger/disappointment. He wasn't injured. The moment he got up, he was fine and good to go.
Too right
Right you are☺
@@gazlink1 You've apparently never experienced or witnessed someone in shock.
@@maskcollector6949 yes, I have. Been in it myself. Been in an accident myself.
Guy looked really shook up from this one.
Wiggysan Wiggysan I know right. He's always such a spriteful and jolly chap. Guess anyone who escapes death gets humbled down to nothing.
Martisan I've never seen a reaction like this from Guy post accident, as you said he's always very up beat and jolly.I think In previous incidents Guy has felt in control, maybe pushing to hard or whatever. This time seems different, he had no control just as John had no control at the NW200. PR catastrophe for Honda. It would be a wise move to withdraw the blade now, its only a matter of time until the rider pays with his life.
It was obvious he was still spinning out with the thought of what could have happened. I really like Guy, but jeez it's so hard to understand what he is saying, his speech jumps around so much.
Wiggysan Wiggysan he didn't look pleased with Honda, but he couldn't put some gasoline in the fire so to speak, because he saw his life slip through his fingers and nothing he could do. this is a man that has had loads of crashes and maybe he's tired of it, I know I would, maybe this interview was in a moment where he just was feeling it all, and hadn't had the time to process everything, but it's fucked up. you can see in his face when he says "it's Honda" that he was pissed at Honda.
Wiggysan Wiggysan yeah, I thought the same... He looked frighten for the first time ever...
Never seen guy martin speechless.....ride safe!
Mike Bee He’s so much easier to understand when he speechless lol
+captndarty: so true.
Ride safe...?
You are streetracing your bike safely??
😂😂
@@docskate4312 Exactly, no riding safe in street racing, that's why these Guy's ;) are so admired.
It's impossible to "ride safe" at the Isle of Man. It's inherently high risk.
"it's a Jonah" - A long-established expression among sailors uses the term, "a Jonah", to mean a sailor or a passenger whose presence on board brings bad luck and endangers the ship.
Thanks for this mate; had no idea what he'd meant by that.
I was thinking of the Film Master and Commander when he said that
We call panothi
Wrong ! Its a Jonas, not a Jonah ;)
Thanks for explaining that
"just sliding down the road waiting for the big stop" sounds like he knew he was gonna die for what probably felt like forever
"a box full of neutrals" That must suck big time when you know you are putting you life on the line, trusting the machine. At least he's fine. Speedy recovery, Guy!
Bassaliscious: You are 100% correct. While lots of things can go wrong when racing; ...blown engines, tires coming apart, stuck throttles, brake failures and so on, nothing is quite like hitting a false neutral when entering a turn. As happened to Guy, you instantly become a totally powerless passenger. All you can do is say a very, VERY short prayer (and I'm an atheist, ... but why take chances, right?)
@@Chuckl881 That makes you an agnostic!
Did the chain break ?? Sounded like something let go. Just wondering but I’ll also try to look it up to see if there is anything more about the accident. Lun my man!❤️🩹🙏👍
@@EliCrousey Na, it was false neutral. McGuiness broke his back and ribbs etc. on the same model. The (back then) new electronics made the bike bad!
@@NinjaKid1985 Thank you for the reply and answer/info, I appreciate it!
Very raw interview
Lazarus D Indeed.
normal in this situation !
Yea it was
cheeky reporter
@@GPOLICE he said jonah, not german
That was a Raw interview for sure...
What's up JoeGo. Wasn't expecting to see you commenting here. Did you ever install any new mods to your ZX6R yet. I posted a comment a while ago recommending mods for the bike if you remember lol
Wanker
Not really super biker legend!!
@@anthonyhester4230 that’s you
Haha, every interview with him is raw. 🤣
I love Guy, He's so humble. There's no ponce and ceremony of press releases. It's just...Guy.
I've watched Guy race since 2004. every interview he's ever done pre race and post race, is at a hundred miles an hour. I've never seen so gobsmacked after a race crash. he's one lucky boy. really surprised Honda can't sort their bike out.
He can't say what he really wants to say...
Surprised he's still wearing the Honda shirt after that.... He doesn't seem like a guy who takes mechanical failures, especially ones that could have killed him, very lightly.
it was the only offer he got guy is not stupid
nathanc777 why if he quits who is he gonna race for ? he's not bigger than the team in ten year he's gone new guy he's not be all end all and he's shit at the tt honda know it's over jhons gone you think honda is relying on guy never won a tt
Immy Tweed: You must be an impressive racer yourself to talk like that about Guy Martin.
Not bad tbh I'm very successful at my job so not thinking of a career change and I can say that because I don't lick the sweat of guys balls
Have you met know guy ?
Guy, you’re an absolute legend whether you do any more TT’s or not. Better to be a living legend. Don’t push your luck. Stay safe (ish!!)
Guy is one of the most genuine and good people on this planet it would be a loss to the world if we lost Guy Martin. He is a great champion and a class act
So glad you are ok Guy.. I wish you good luck.. like you said it will get better.. keep your head up.. in my eyes you are the BEST!!

Guy will always be the best
I am thinking about buying a fireblade sp2, although I don't like the standard colours. I think for the new model it would look much better in beige or grey. A nice neutral colour to match the gearbox.
I now ride a Triumph Street twin ..I go fast enough on it , lost my ego long ago :-)
I agree. A nice stone grey with maybe even a tad of faint lime would be nice too.
Better brown than yellow, bud.
Nothing wrong with Ducati's, had one a few years ago and would have another without a second thought.
Maybe Guy Martin would be better off on one...!
It's always possible to go out and buy a matching handbag and pumps.... you racer you...!
retire sir! you have nothing else to prove. Isle is man doesn't need another monument to remember another great rider. God gave you a second chance. don't ignore it mate. go enjoy your family.
third chance at least. he crashed back a few and again was lucky.
00Billy Fourth chance at least. Remember 2010 at IOM TT and 2015 at Ulster. Very heavy crashes both times.
God? You must be joking?!?
Did god throw him off the bike to begin with, or does he only save people?
Wouldn’t it be better if god just helped out 2 seconds earlier so he didn’t crash?
This god sounds completely useless and acts as if he doesn’t exist at all.
@@Sasasala386 nobody asked to hear that sky wizard bullshit in the first place, so eat shit. Take the feeble-minded crap elsewhere.
Michael S Believing in something greater than yourself isn’t “feeble minded” nor should it ever be treated as such. If you don’t believe? Cool.
But don’t you dare push your anti-holiness agenda ever again.
Because I will find you.
I will show you our lord Jesus Christ.
Thank god he's still alive we love guy he's the man
wow...that really shook him up! 😯 Go GM, YOU'RE AN AWESOME LEGEND WHATEVER DECISION YOU MAKE IN THE FUTURE after dodging THAT bullet...👍
Yeah, but I would hate to see him seriously injured because the fucking bike failed. But hey, that's a part of racing.
Indeed, he's dodged a few already. His luck hasn't run out yet it seems.
First time I see Guy scared..Not a good sign..
Not scared Guy was still in shock as to WTF happened. I think he did well to hold back his emotions of what he was really feeling he looked so angry with the way the bike just failed and almost killed him.
I too would be scared and in shock if my bike fails on me at a crucial point
Cause then he already had a children. This probably changed his thinking.
He crashed badly also in 2010 & 2015, but after that he look relaxed again.
Total misinterpretation. He’s p’d off about getting caught stuck in neutral. Titanium Balls Guy scared ....Pleeeeeeeeeze spare us.
There's a difference between making a mistake and having a failure, when it's your mistake you accept it and you make sure not to do it again but when it's a failure, you can't do anything.
very rare to see an interview like this, this is the real deal
Boy's got an angel on his shoulder
So glad this didn't end like it could have
Honda strikes again. Formula 1, Indy 500, and now Isle of Man.
Yes they had engines blow up, but Honda DID win the 500.
They are incompetent across all motorsports. It's incredible. These things are deathtraps.
not to mention motocross, tim gajser and ken roczen, both world champions are out because honda´s messy chassis on the crf 450r
You reckon? They have a pretty solid results record, but this is what confuses me. They supplied the engine to Jensen Buttons championship winning F1 car in 2009, they won last years MotoGp as well as multiple other titles over the last 15 years. And the old Fireblade was brilliant. So how the hell did they make such a balls of this one.
Everything you said is correct, but Button's championship-winning Brawn GP car was Mercedes powered.
Flying into a bend with no engine breaking must literally be the most frightening thing one could imagine
So he put the bike into neutral instead of second gear?
@@kyleB061 the clutch slipped / gear jumped from 4th or 5th into neutral and he couldn't get it back into gear in time
@@FennessyMusic I ride a motorbike and don't understand how he went from 4th to neutral when neutral is 9ne down from 2nd gear?
@@kyleB061 luck you - sold mine years ago 😭 this was a malfunction with the gear box, for some reason it hopped into neutral and would not come out of neutral so he needed to ditch the bike
@@FennessyMusic Okay that's scary as fuck I didn't even know that could happen.
"doesnt like me...doesnt like John".....
thats a shocking revelation to openly admit on camera....
much respect Guy....top man
I guess people forgot 2010 he had bigger accident and still got back! Guy is absolutely a legend and legendary pilot!.. in this interview he basically knows how close he had angel of death! Seen him many times before 😉💎❤️👑🙏🏻 I’m glad you here Guy! And I absolutely appreciate such a RAW interview ! Not everyone can explain the emotions especially soo short of time given in interview! Guy is super intelligent just like MOST road racers
Connor Cummings had a bad one this year as well, they was both very lucky
This type of interview is extremely rare in modern 'Western' society - raw and revealing as a 'near death' experience...most sports have followed the PC 'Mangina' directive...the TT is one of the last bastions of 'extreme sport' that is still practiced on a significant level, and has, so far, resisted the calls from the 'protective' types...long MUST it continue!
cm243286 great comment
Well said.
What the shitting fuck are you on about
cm243286 Absolutely no clue what you’re on about.
Quotation marks may make you believe you know more than you're letting on, but it just makes you look like a wing nut to everyone else. What does Western Philosophy even have to do with the increased driver safety of motorsport and why in the hell do you think we _shouldn't_ increase it? Because you are less entertained when there are fewer crashes and fatalities?
If you do some freeze frames of Guy being interviewed, you can see in his eyes, that his tolerance for risk and his relationship with mortality is different. Dead man walking comes to mind. Respect to him.
It's like @Gornik LecznaMan said, he was expecting a baby in just a few months. That usually put things into perspective..
Guy please give it up. You're amazing and a wonderful person
Nothing to prove. Just stop and save your precious life
Please
Guy Martin is the most real and chill dudes ever. That's a fact.
obviously Guy is really annoyed... but it looks he can't say much... anyway, the most important is his health...
francois P. And his new tea stained clean teeth 😬
He was just short of swearing at Honda ... lol.. Guy is such a character
Can't say much if are dead either
my dad always said bikes can be mended people can not
To nice of a guy to kick off but he knows deep down the gear boxes are shit
Get well soon, Guy!
Guy Martin one of the greats , bad luck glad your still around to talk about it .
He's a man who knows you don't generally walk away from a high speed crash on the Isle of man. I think the fact he survived it was the thing that shocked him the most.
And it was his second big one too. He more than anyone knows that you don't get a 3rd go...
Wow, 140mph and he made a split second decision to dump the bike, it just shows the speed at which these riders react and how much they really are living on the edge, especially when there is nowhere to go to run off, as like they would on a proper race track.
andrewallison70 honestly i think he fell off ..
He had not choice, no 1 rule when bike riding is, if it goes wrong get away from the bike
Guy Martin is a legend, so glad he was not badly hurt. The man always gives 100% in everything he does 🇬🇧🥇👏
unfortunately he has been with another crash in the NW200 and this one was a career ender. with BMW this time. but it was his own fault. massive high side at high speed and broke his back badly. really lucky he didn't stay crippled.
The absolute ballsiest form of racing! Respect and all the best for your immediate recovery and beyond!
Absolute honesty, with absolutely no bullshit! One of the worlds best sportsmen and bloke. Now becoming an absolute living legend. What a human!
Your fans will always be with you, you look really shook up from that one guy. Your an amazing guy and a great bike racer, good luck for the rest of the tt
Seconded. you're, btw
Top bloke! took better than most!! And agree with Guy, that after the John incident that bike needs time or something else?
I definitely agree
Well said, Guy is a good bloke..
The Berean you know him?
It needs too go back too what worked up to last year
I’ve been searching out rare Guy Martin videos for years and just found this one. Commenting to maybe help the algorithm. Never seen Guy this shook.
Guy, you're my favorite rider and I'm glad you're still with us. Take care of yourself. Hope to see you at it again this year. Cheers from Texas.
You're a legend Guy, although anyone that races the TT has my utmost respect, I can't think of anyone that deserves the Senior win more.
powerful interview right there. short as it was, you could feel his emotion through the screen.
felt like a kick in the guts but enjoyed the watch anyway
such a real guy! gutted for him but so happy he's still with us.
It's just great that both riders are still with us. John and Guy we love you both keep your heads up boys 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
Same false neutral happened to me when I was testing the 2017 Fireblade SP on a racetrack... fortunately I had a room for escape and didn't crash out
That’s a tough spot to be in: riding a shit bike while wearing Honda and being asked who to blame....
Nicky Borrosino so is Honda shit ... no
@@nickkolowinski3331 that bike was dogshit and neither him or mcguinness should have gone anywhere near it.
@@t8283287 but why how can you be so sure
@@nicknotadick3027 did you watch the same video i did where the Honda failed? idiot.
@@nicknotadick3027 Because Honda themselves admitted that a fault in the bike's software caused the McGuinness crash at the NW200. The ECU incorrectly auto blipped the throttle.
Waiting for the "big stop..." That's where it ends. Whew! I was scared shitless when I heard that engine go quiet.
deeply raw this is, you can tell how emotional and shook up he is, ride safe boys
"A box full of neutrals" is now my favourite term. Good to see Guy is alright (albeit shaken up).
that may be the first time for that phrase.
No
where was that phrase used before??
@@rearspeaker6364 To describe politicians?
@@themagicrat8803 must be a UK thing, don't know.....
Guy has had a few surprises on his return to the IOM firstly the speed of the competion, they are all dialled into their bikes and software excluding Dunlop who would ride anything with or without aids on the bike. Secondly the bike was far from ready to race and most people knew that, JM crash was down to the autoblipper hence a change of software to Motec, Thirdly Guy has never raced for wages before which always left him the door open to walk away from a bad team or bike, Honda are paying him to ride the thing. Lastly I think Guy will never return to the TT he is getting older and wiser, and hopefully he will get his dads Rocket 3 out of the pub and ride it in the Classic TT where he will boost the attendance and enjoy himself once again.
First time I have seen this legend spooked. More anger than anything I think. True legend on two wheels.
More than being scared he seems furious. Gotta love him for what and how he is!!!
I know how he feels. He’s reliving it over and over agin in this interview
You don't see Guy Martin shaken up like this. He's a mans man and a racer's racer. I'm glad he's ok. I'm pulling for him to win a TT this year and any year he's on the island.
So glad your in one piece Guy. Give up racing & continue making some of the best programs on ever on TV 👍
Once you experience something like that you loose the momentum to win you will always be that little bit more cautious than you were it's like getting older you value your life and stop taking chances that put you in first place. Glad to see guys still standing and walked away from what could have been life threatening.
good Luck guy!!!
He is still in shock
Guy Martin is an absolute legend and an Isle of Man TT SAVAGE! You're a G.O.A.T. in my book! We are glad to see your upright and well. Shaken and distraught yes, but alive and well. God bless and we fans hope to see you back on the track before the event ends. If not, you and your team better be back next year! Just saying. Isle of Man TT isn't Isle of Man TT without you. #mytwocents
Never seen him like that. All the best Guy and if it doesn't feel right don't try to force yourself to carry on going. You've proved yourself over and over again, sometimes you just have to hang it up and move on.
shit that's a serious interview , so glad your still alive and ok .
wow,
So glad you walked away from that one Guy,. so sorry mate, God bless you. !
Who could Blane him for being scared, the bike was completly out of his control ,a mechanical fault,that you can do absolutely nothing about. Lucky he wasn't killed. He was gaining speed where he should have been able to slow the bike. Even on a push bike,if your brakes failed you would feel fear you would be a fool if you didnt
Glad you still here Guy !
Honda team are very very lucky !
I got emotional watching this.Anyone who's lost someone to bikes knows how serious that was and none more so than Guy himself .
Doesn't matter who you are. If death comes whispering in your ear, it'll humble you. Guy seemed really shook up. Shows how dangerous the TT is. He is always upbeat and having fun. Frustrated at times, but rare to see him like this. You can see him replaying it in his head and thinking about everything that could've happened. Glad he only messed his wrist up a bit. Most riders that crash leave in a helicopter heading to the hospital. So I say it was a pretty good day. Hope he bought a lotto ticket after this lol
Frightening experience, lucky to escape, very glad he is still with us.
One of the most honest and straight to the point rider out there great personality
Warning shots. I wouldn't be upset if Guy packs it in and calls it a day, he's a great rider and achieved a lot gaining a huge level of respect. We all wish him well and hope his wrist heals. Worrying about the gearbox issue on a rock solid Honda.... Why did it fail?
RevvedUpBiker He will always be a legend but he has gotten away with several near misses, I don't think he will quit but I hope his luck with not being seriously hurt stays
I never know what tf this dude is saying but I love him anyway. Great rider and all around dude.
fire1937 ikr!
Proper good interview that, a real insight.
He is one of these very rare people that you can call an old soul
Even though he didn't win, the man is still a legend. Hopefully he still has many years left on earth with us, but you know his sideburns will end up on the wall in the TT hall of fame :D
Rogent X either that or a wall in someone's garden
I see what you did there :D
legend,I think not,no tt wins(or nw I think)all the tt winers that get no mention,I dont get it,neither does mick dunlop(read his book)
😂
This is going to hurt the Honda brand pretty bad.... Suzuki 4 life
SO glad you're OK after that one Guy! Love ya man.
Got to love Guys way just to say it how it is and how he sees it, no sugar coating, just this is it take it or leave it, what a legend
I think HRC should pull out the 2017 Honda Fireblade SP2 from the Isle of Man TT before it does more damage to Guy Martin and their reputation! :( The bike was known to have electrical issues & it took out John McGuinness at the North West 200 due to a suspected stuck throttle to which Honda said they can't determine the real reason since ECU was banged about in the crash (seriously??!!) Guy was really lucky not to damage himself like McGuinness who badly broke his tibia, damaged his ribs & lungs. Fireblade once was the most consistent, reliable & dominant machines in road racing, but sadly the new model doesn't seem to have undergone rigorous development & testing... :/
For Friday's race they are going to use john's bike. Guy's bike has been kept to the side. John's bike has been taken apart and they are putting in a BSB engine with BSB electronics on it. The suspension will be the road racing suspension they used last year on the 2016 bike. So they are going to essentially use a completely different bike from the one they bought for IOM TT.
Honda should wake up and get their act together.
F1: Honda engines blow up
Indycar: Honda engines blow up
WSBK: bikes get delivered 1 month before the seasons starts
MotoGP: poor performance
IOM: McGuiness and Martin both crash. McGuiness probably throttle got stuck and now maybe a false neutral for Martin.
wasnt stoner riding a honda too when his throttle got fucked?
Bostin Aycock yes, at Suzuka 8 hours race. Initially Honda later apologized to Stoner for the machine error!
Srinjay Sarma that's good to know. Hopefully it should last the race distance without incident!
What a boy, absolute ledgend! So glad he's ok, never seen Guy like this before though, must have been a bad one!!!!!....... P.s. Guy for Prime Minister!!
Next year man, i dunno why but when i first saw the TT I had high hopes for Guy Martin. I bet he's got something special for 2018. Best of luck
So happy this man finds ways to bounce. Man's a living legend.
I've never seen him shaken like this. box of neutrals, bike looks like a deathtrap.
this guy has nine lives literally and figuratively...he is super badass.
He was just very very lucky there. After watching the Speed series I came to the conclusion that he rides for the thrill of life itself, not death. Let's just hope that Honda gets their shit straight soon and that John and Guy stay safe.
that wasnt even his worst accident bud...that was just a day on the job for this guy, he isnt afraid of anything
this was just another day on the job for Guy M., hes been in worse accidents than this one, and manages to escape with minimal injuries...btw we all ride for the thrill, its just for some it takes going 170+ to get the same adrenaline rush.
Michael Smith you call breaking your back a minimal injury? Wow, man.
is he paralyzed or did he get back on his feet...there is different levels of breaking your back, my coworker is a quad, from diving in a river after his dog, only takes 5 lbs of force in the right spot to paralyze you...when he was in rehab, there were guys in there that were paralyzed from falling out of a hammock.
It's not often that Guy is lost for words, that (understandably) shook him right up.
I'm so so happy he's alive we need people like him
Great to see he is OK as it could have been much worse. HRC has a-lot of explaining and work to do. He looked shaken up (as you would). I would hate to see him injured or worse on what is looking like a poorly suited motorcycle. A "box of neutrals" at this stage should not be occurring. Serious consideration should be given to not riding it again. Contract or not, his life is worth more. Much respect to Mr. Guy Martin.
Gabriel Johannson yes HRC needs to take a serious look at themselves, as despite the WSBK and BSB bikes being crap and this bike jamming the throttle on and flinging Guy off at Tandragee and McPint off in the NW200, they have had the temerity to hint at the issues being rider error in press releases surrounding this latest incident. The bike is obviously not right - Guy is a previous TT lap record holder and a multiple winner of other major road races, whilst McPint is the man around the island, so if they both struggle on it, what rider does HRC expect to cope with it? Pack up, go home and just accept the bad press with good grace Honda - stop trying to save face and admit you dropped a bollock.
Chance Hooper remember Casey stoner got a stuck throttle at 120 mph on the Honda at the 24 hour in Japan.He literally had to lay the bike down.Honda took months to admit it was a fault and not stoner.Looks like they are still having issues.
Bluemts Expose definitely. To suggest Guy is bottling it when he was happy to race a bike he knew had a turbo problem at Pikes Peak and get a class win, or to laugh off a 200mph+ crash in a streamlined or break a Wall Of Death record whilst literally blacking out at 80mph+ is not the sign of a coward: that bike is, as he said, a Jonah and HRC are unlikely to fix it in three days, so he'd be wise to leave the Senior TT and come back with it next year, if at all. I strongly doubt he'd ride for Honda again, nor McGuinness for that matter.
Interestingly, in his first book he talks about the last time he rode for a big Honda team and even back then, when the bike had issues they just denied any problems - he ended up using his own parts and rebuilding it himself, I believe.
Given that this bike was in fourth gear at least, it cannot be a case of missing second and hitting neutral, meaning a bike with a quickshifter and auto-blipper missed the clutch timing and caused the selector to skip. Assuming nothing had broken (which according to HRC, it hadn't), it means that despite switching the ecu to a motel after their own unit kept jam,img the throttle open, HRC have failed to replicate functionality available as an optional extra on most showroom superbikes. What the hell happened at Honda? Between this and their awful F1 engine, they are torpedoing their reputation for engineering very quickly.
HRC isn't even involved in the racing at IOM, WSBK, and BSB. They have consultants. Honda in fact hasn't been supporting those teams since 2003.
These are modifications performed outside of Honda's control.
The English are crazy haha, they love this stuff. Well, I as an American love watching it so...
Glad the English wolverine is alright.
Have a bit of a problem with his accent, not sure if it was engine breaking or gearbox problems?
If I understood him correctly he couldn't get a gear in, it always went to neutral... therefore no engine breaking capabilities.
Got a false neutral going like 140 mph and couldnt use engine breaking so he had to bail off.
"First I bermed the curb, then the wall, then......"
@Da Ca: One thing Guy Martin doesn't do is ramble nonsense, I & many others can understand him perfectly !
Well well aren't you a cheery fucker, do you insult everyone that disagrees with you.
so glad he's okay...love that guy...totally brilliant bloke
absolutely a inspiration
Wow, never seen Guy looking so rattled. He had a very close call and knows it.
You could hear the engine and it wasn't happy at all. sounded like a bag of spanners but glad Guy walked away from it 👍
Brilliant interview really got the human reaction from Guy
For total Guy in shocked bewilderment that back of race truck "interview" with You Tube "motovlogger" Sharon Bum Fumble on the all paid for "epic" trip t'up north the TT ...takes the biscuit ....Guy's face says it all......who is this Muppet.....why have you not been before.......i've a bike to set up......thanks for this Dainese ......lets get the kettle n have a cuppa......you still here...
Thanks God he is still here... Never saw Guy so shocked!
my favorite rider...smh. I do glad he still here to fight another day.
Honda has serious issues. Casey Stoner walked away from them after a stuck throttle at Suzuka. McGuinness gets injured big time with a suspected stuck throttle and now this?!
Modern day heroes these guys they do what they love and we appreciate them :)
right at the beginning 'something not right there...' ....I know there's a lot going on in this video and this is probably the least important, however, that commentator was on top of it and was able to keep the audience as up to speed as he did. well done, sir.
