Guy Martin - Portrait of a bike legend
Author(s): Phil Wain
Enter the world of motorcycling daredevil and cult racer Guy Martin: a down-to-earth guy . . . driven by a passion for speed and danger.
Truck fitter, ace racer, world record holder, speed junkie, and all-round "character" renowned for his loveable personality, racer Guy Martin is a modern-day celebrity motivated not by wealth and fame but by his love of bikes and trucks. Written by an experienced motorcycle journalist who also served as Martin's PR officer, Guy Martin: Portrait of a Bike Legend charts the star's eventful life. Featuring never-before-published photographs, it recounts Martin's career in front of, and away from, the spotlight. This first illustrated biography of Martin captures a man who doesn't do things halfway; if it's not a challenge to life, limb, and sanity, he's just not interested.
