About this listen

"The maddest 12 months of my life. The journey starts with an oddball race up an American mountain and ends with me checking myself out of hospital with a broken back. Again..."

As Guy Martin's grandfather, Voldemars, frequently reminded him, "When you dead, you dead". So, before it's all over, Guy Martin is making the most of the time he’s got.

In this past year alone, Guy has raced the Isle of Man TT and finished on the podium; bike trekked through India; competed in solo 24-hour bicycles races; flown a stunt plane; broken a go-kart speed record down a French mountain; and dusted himself off after a dramatic crash at the Dunrod 150 Superbike race. And he’s done all this around his day job as a truck mechanic.

But let Guy tell you about it himself: "This book starts in a Transit, ends in a Transit, and in between I’ve raced a few pushbikes, raced a few motorbikes and got a fair few stories to tell you". Spot on.

Just brilliant! I would have left it at that, but I needed 1 words.

I was unsure what to expect as I hadn't listened to his previous book but was pleasantly surprised. The title of the book drew me in I was interested to hear his view and philosophy on life . I was listening to this on a long drive a there is a bit where he has to take a crap on the side of a mountain, I had to stop because it cracked me up. The time I got to the end it made me think how little I do and how much I could be out there trying. Read well and is in character for Guy.

Fantastic, funny and down to earth.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would recommend to anyone.
Guy really does seem like a really great guy and one you would love to have a big mug of tea with.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Guy Martin: When You Dead, You Dead?

So a normally man making the most out of life but needing to get back to fix a truck :-)
The information on racing and what riders are doing really is an insight into this world.

What does Dean Williamson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

A really good voice that you feel like Guy is talking to you.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I'm reading about my chimp so meeting Brian after I'd seen the crash made this come to life.

Any additional comments?

Both Guy's books have been a easy good read / listen.
