Quote by -Guy Martin
When I crash during a race and injure myself, what's the point in whinging? Because I put myself in that position. No one's making me race motorbikes - I want to go and race motorbikes. The most annoying thing for me is lying in hospital and not being able to get to work. I get beside myself.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I've had sideburns since I was 16, but back then, a gust of wind would have blown them off.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I get home from work at six or seven. When I'm busy, I set my alarm for three, get out of bed at quarter past three. I have a cup of tea and read a magazine and take the dogs for a walk up the lane. Go through my text messages and reply to anything that needs it, then get my biking gear on ready to cycle to work.
Quote by -Guy Martin
If I'd done 'Top Gear,' I would have had to have left my job, and I've got the best job in the world. To do 'Top Gear' and do it properly would mean leaving work, and I can't. I don't want to leave work.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I'm a great believer in setting myself goals, and I like to think that, once I've a goal to aim for, I'll do whatever it takes to achieve it.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I like talking but on my terms. I don't like people talking to me, but I like talking to people.
Quote by -Guy Martin
They don't call it the Wall of Death for nothing. The biggest risk is crashing off the top. That's when it gets really messy.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I remember, my first season was 1999, and I must have crashed about 13 times in that first year. But then, in the second season, you crash about half as much and then, in the third year, even less again.
Quote by -Guy Martin
A few people have said my granddad looks like me, but I reckon he's far better looking.
Quote by -Guy Martin
Building the machine for 'Speed' was fun, as was working on the 'Spitfire' programme. They are programmes I enjoyed being on, but they are not my job.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I was working for Martin Finnegan. He was my best mate in racing. I went to his wedding in November 2007. No-one else from the racing world was invited apart from me and my girlfriend. The funeral was the following May.
Quote by -Guy Martin
There's a line you have when you're racing, and you can ride up to that line. If you push beyond it, you might crash. But first is first, second is forgotten. That's what we say.
Quote by -Guy Martin
My back is full of metal; so are my hands and legs. I'll have to decide who will get all that in my will. It's probably worth a fortune in scrap metal. But it doesn't affect my movement.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I work nights on a farm in the summer when harvest starts. I work on a civil engineering site down the Humber Docks where all the refineries are. So that's my day job from seven to four. And then I build engines at night.
Quote by -Guy Martin
The most common way to crash coming out of a corner is to highside - which is where you accelerate out of the corner, and the rear loses grip, then suddenly finds grip and chucks you off the bike.
Quote by -Guy Martin
People deal with the concentration needed to do well in a two-hour race in different ways.
Quote by -Guy Martin
For my first race, when I was 19, I'd bought a 600cc bike. And that was far too big for me, really. I shouldn't have really had something like that. But anyway, I went and raced, and I crashed. In my very first race! But I never gave in. I kept going back and back and back.
Quote by -Guy Martin
TV people are great folks, but if I said, 'Come and film a beetroot-jar-opening competition,' they would.
Quote by -Guy Martin
Speed on its own isn't always so exciting. On a racing motorbike, I can do over 180 mph, which is fast, but not as fast as the airliners that we all climb aboard to fly off on holiday. Modern passenger jets can cruise at between 500 and 600 mph, but sitting in an aeroplane like that for hours on end isn't very exciting, is it?
Quote by -Guy Martin
If you were to be put off by every little problem life throws at you, you'd get nowt done.
Quote by -Guy Martin
I'm a bit embarrassed about how little I know about the First World War. I didn't even know that tanks were used in it.
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.
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
Dentists, doctors, surveyors from Latvia wanted to come to England, do anything to get away from the Soviet regime.
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
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
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.
