<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"How far can Guy Martin travel on a bicycle, in a human powered aircraft, on a hydroplaning motorbike or in a supersled? How will Guy Martin complete these four dangerous, adrenaline-fuelled speed challenges in record time?"--Cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Guy Martin, lorry mechanic, motorcycle racing legend and favourite of the Isle of Man TT, lives for the buzz he feels racing his bike round terrifying bends at 200mph. Nothing, he claims, can match it. Or can it? Guy is about to find out . Guy faces four dangerous and thrilling world-record challenges, pushing the boundaries of speed, and his body, to determine just how fast one man can go. Together with the best of British engineering and design, scientific research, ground breaking technology and a Gold-medal-winning athlete or two, Guy attempts to pedal a bicycle over 100mph by using the slipstream of an articulated lorry; build the world's fastest human-powered aircraft; hydroplane a modified motocross bike across a two kilometre lake and become the fastest man on a toboggan.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>GUY MARTIN is a British motorcycle racer and mechanic. Born in 1981, he followed in his father's footsteps by racing bikes, and in 2011 starred in the cult documentary film "Closer to the Edge" about the TT Races on the Isle of Man. Passionate about maintaining the legacy of the Industrial Revolution's hard grafters, he has previously made a documentary series with North One Television -- one for the BBC, called "The Boat that Guy Built" and last year's "How Britain Worked" which aired on Channel 4.
