About this ebook
‘I was never going to sleep in and take it easy, there were worms to catch.’
Breaking records on the world’s biggest Wall of Death, cycling 2,745 miles across the length of the United States (while sleeping rough), attempting to be the fastest person ever on two wheels and travelling to Latvia to investigate his family’s roots, it's been a busy year for Guy Martin. There’s been some thrilling racing too, including wild Harley choppers on dirt and turbo-charged Transit vans through the Nevada desert. And don't forget there’s the day job to get back to in North Lincolnshire – the truck yard and the butty van.
Guy has done more in one year than most people do in a lifetime, and with his gift for story-telling, he takes you with him to the outer limits of human endurance, and on a dizzying adrenalin high, all in a day’s work.

An insight to what Guy's life is really like behind all the media bollocks. Fantastic read, I don't read much but absolutely loved this, the third of his. Totally helped me through lots of boring flights.

Guy Martin in print as you see him on TV. "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET" No airs and graces, Guy, you take me to places I dream of going, and you've taught me that I can achieve anything I put my mind to. Thanks.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but enjoyed his other books and this one just as much.

About the author
Except for one summer spent sleeping inside a truck in a concrete yard in Northern Ireland, Guy Martin has lived within 20 miles of the Grimsby hospital he was born in, on the 4th November 1981. But that hasn’t stopped the professional truck mechanic from winning multiple international road races, plus scoring fifteen Isle of Man TT podiums. Nor has it prevented him from becoming a regular face on prime-time Channel 4, presenting critically acclaimed documentaries and travelogues, as well as his popular returning series Speed with Guy Martin. Did we mention he’s also the author of three phenomenal number-one bestselling memoirs? Not bad for a truck fitter.
