Short-circuit racing is full of health and safety, but the reason I ride a motorbike is because of the danger, and there is no place more dangerous than the TT.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I broke five vertebrae, and they had to rod my spine because I broke my sternum, too.
Quote by -Guy Martin
Television opens up some bloody great doors. That's the plus. The minus is the attention it brings.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I'm fascinated by the whole communist thing. No one has a lot, but everyone is the same. I like that way of living.
Quote by -Guy Martin
When I was little, I would open up lawnmowers and try to make them go faster. I wasn't strong enough to do some things, so I'd wait for my dad to get home from work to help me. He was great, but he never really encouraged me, and I'll be the same if I have kids: I'll leave them to do their own thing.

I'm not much of a chef, so people keep buying me cookery books to broaden my culinary horizons, but I've not got far past shepherd's pie yet.
Quote by -Guy Martin
When TV companies stop coming up with ideas, and I've got to go and do 'Celebrity Big Brother,' I don't want that to happen.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I've had my eyes opened to so many things. But still, all I really want to do is my truck job. It's like an ingrained, default setting.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I'm not into these mollycoddled sorts of things; I like a bit of danger. I haven't got a death wish, but it makes things exciting, doesn't it?
Quote by -Guy Martin
I've got my own TV stuff on the go, and it's all a bit oddball - it's one-offs, and I can do what, when, and how I want it, really. I don't have any scripts or people telling me to do stuff twice.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I've been put under 8.5G in a stunt aeroplane. I felt all right. Well, I lost my vision, but I was still conscious.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I like the Mid Antrim circuit, and if anyone were to ask me to show them a typical Irish road surface, I would take them to the Mid Antrim. It is awesome.
Quote by -Guy Martin
The idea for the 'Speed' series was to break the record for the fastest push bike.
Quote by -Guy Martin
We all buy our meat wrapped in plastic because we don't like to think about the animal that died.
Quote by -Guy Martin
My idea of splashing out would be buying a new spanner. I've got about 300 - you can't have too many in my opinion.
Quote by -Guy Martin
Some riders believe in all the hype at the TT; have a successful week, give up work then go and buy motorhomes and cars. I like to get back to normal afterwards and go to work.
Quote by -Guy Martin
It's bred in me that I only see real work as getting stuck in and getting your hands dirty.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I don't see coming down to London and talking to people and making TV shows as real work. The only reason I do it is because they keep coming up with decent ideas.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I was born in Grimsby and always lived around there, but it's died a death because of the loss of the fishing industry.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I'm not a materialistic person at all, but I always want the next thing; I've got a nice toolbox, but I still want another set of spanners.
Quote by -Guy Martin
What I really took in in India was that people - even in the slums - were happy with what they'd got. That's something we're not good at in the Western world.
Quote by -Guy Martin
The only thing I keep from the races I've won are the handle bar grips from the bike, the rubber bits.
Quote by -Guy Martin
Road racing has given me a good life, and I'm not being cocky, but I've brought something to racing, too.
Quote by -Guy Martin
Dentists, doctors, surveyors from Latvia wanted to come to England, do anything to get away from the Soviet regime.
Quote by -Guy Martin
Going back because it's what I did and I was sort of all right at it is not a good reason to race the TT.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I feel that I'm in good company behind the wheel of the Williams FW08C. It was the first F1 car to be driven by the great Ayrton Senna, and it won the 1983 Monaco Grand Prix.
