Britain's Fastest Cyclist

Postby Andrew G » Sun Dec 22, 2013 6:10 pm

Sunday 29/12 @ 8pm on C4.

I like Guy and this looks like one to watch. I still love the Dave Legrys video, bloke was a nutter, you didn't want to be the opposition when he was piloting a tandem in a track sprint.

I can't find the link right now but there's a guy in the states who did 24 hours riding behind a lorry. Averaged over 50mph. Concentrating for 24 hours at 50mph inches behind a lorry ...

Brilliant. Won't say anymore for those that didn't see it. If you didn't then 4OD.

"When I came off my bike during the Isle of Man TT in 2010, the feeling when I knew that everything was going wrong and that I wasn’t going to be able to hold on to the bike – at 170mph – was unbeatable. That was a proper buzz. Those few moments between being in control of what I was doing, then losing control, and the instant between crashing and almost dying were intense. That’s the ultimate feeling of danger. Money can’t buy that feeling – it’s priceless."

Yep. Nutter :lol:

I have been a long term fan of Guy, probably more to do with his eccentricity rather than his use of his undoubted talents on a motorcycle. So hope to see him back at the TT now he seems to have mellowed slightly.
