    Watched the show, enjoyable but as I had expected most of the show was on the buildup and background with the actual jump over before you knew it.

    I liked the scrambler and seeing the original triumph from the movie, now worth £1.5million

    Quite enjoyable and informative but padded out ...didn't doubt he would do it you cant win loads of TTs without being able to ride and adapt....personally i like Guy Martin like his manner and he is not pretentious and so what if he now want to make a bit of money from TV after risking his life with the TT he has earned it...he reminds me of a Fred Dibnah for the millennium.

    Actually watched the jump last night on tv. Great stunt and lovely bike. Yes he is an interesting chap. Loved the bit where they said he just having a test run no he's going for it.
    Regards
    Joe.

    The scrambler looked fantastic! Bet they sell a few after the programme . I wonder if Guy got to keep the bike ? Can’t see it getting up to 1.5 million in value somehow ... !

    Just watched all 2hrs in one sitting. Bloody great TV. Even taking a wazz on a secret map was entertaining:p
    All the background information was interesting, all the history and the cinema stuff was good. Even that actors bad wig was entertaining :laughing:

    Nice bit of advertising for Triumph.:rolleyes:
