Guy Martin, unkillable.


Guy Martin's Honda explodes during the 2011 Isle of Man Senior TT. Guy had a punctured lung, broken ribs and some cracked vertebre, but survived to continue racing in the 2011 season. Hero.

If you dig the TT, rent, steal or borrow this movie.



Watched it last night and it was very good. Guy is in most of the film.
