Everybody's favourite truck-fitting, road-racing, TV-presenting, No 1 bestselling author, Guy Martin takes you on an action-packed ride through a year in his life. Get behind the scenes, into the pits and under the engines, up close and personal with Guy, telling it like only he knows how. Brimming with entertaining stories, daring exploits and unusual mishaps, accompanied by personal photos from Guy's phone, this month-by-month diary covers a typically full-throttle year — from the 24-hour Solo World Mountain Bike Championship to the Isle of Man TT and lots of adventures in mountain and motor biking, spannering, engineering and tea drinking in-between. Always grafting, always looking for the next extreme experience to test himself, whether it's building a wall of death in his back garden, going flat out at the Isle of Man TT, motorbike trekking across India, racing through the night at Le Mans, fixing a Scania V8 or stopping for a brew with Valentino Rossi, follow Guy's adventures as he lives life at full speed.

This is the story of life at the centre of the world's most dangerous sport, by its brightest and biggest star. Guy Martin, international road-racing legend, maverick star of the Isle of Man TT, truck mechanic and TV presenter, lives on the edge, addicted to speed, thoroughly exhilarated by danger. In this book we'll get inside his head as he stares death in the face, and risks his life in search of the next high, even as he agonises over the loss of close friends in horrific accidents. We'll discover what it feels like to survive a 170mph fireball at the TT in 2010, and comeback to do it all again. He'll sweep us up in a gritty sort of glory as he slogs it out for a place on the podium, but we'll also see him struggle with the flipside of fame. We'll meet his friends and foes, his family, his teammates and bosses and we'll discover what motivates him, and where his strengths and weaknesses lie. For the first time, here is the full story in Guy's own words. From the boy who learned to prep bikes with his dad, to the spirited team mechanic, paying his way by collecting glasses, to the young racer at the start of his first race and the buzz he's been chasing ever since. This thrilling autobiography is an intense and dramatic ride.
