Does anyone know if TT rider Guy Martin is still a hgv fitter as in TT3D. Reports on the web claim sponsorship of £200k plus. Office dispute is erupting here as to would he live the high life or committ it all to the racing.

Also if he is still a hgv fitter, where abouts is it. I may call by one day?

Pretty sure he runs the HGV business with his dad somewhere in Lincolnshire. Guy himself is from Kirmington in Lincolnshire.
Guy was interviewed at this years TT and kept saying even if he struck a mega ride deal he would continue with fixing trucks because it`s what he loves doing as a day to day job! Such a down to earth top bloke.

yep garage is in kirmington , we was talking about it today , couple of lads know him from there hgv days .

No he has a second job as a tv presenter on his own show as well.

he no longer works with his dad as they had a fall out by all accounts he now works for Moody International trucks fixing scanias in grimsby he does go on about being a hgv fitter but doesnt tend to mention all his money he gets from racing, sponsership and clothing, tv etc etc and drives an aston martin so am told .......!

Think there was a feature about him in Evo a good 18mths or so ago and it said he'd bought his Aston with hard graft rather than buying a house or something along those lines. This was before he was widely famous for riding bikes etc.

however he earns his money,i still think he is a top bloke and we could do with more people like him instead of all the corporate robots and yes men we see these days
