guy martin hgv fitter
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?

been a bit of a rush job really, bodged it all together in just 5 1/2 years.

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.

Erm no
No he has a second job as a tv presenter on his own show as well.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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.
