"The TT taxes your mind." — Guy Martin

I've got my own TV stuff on the go, and it's all a bit oddball - it's one-offs, and I can do what, when, and how I want it, really. I don't have any scripts or people telling me to do stuff twice.

I'm a bit embarrassed about how little I know about the First World War. I didn't even know that tanks were used in it.

As far as I am concerned, the Ulster Grand Prix is my favourite race.

In my normal life, I am a private person doing a proper job.

The only thing I keep from the races I've won are the handle bar grips from the bike, the rubber bits.

I'm not much of a chef, so people keep buying me cookery books to broaden my culinary horizons, but I've not got far past shepherd's pie yet.

I'm a great believer in setting myself goals, and I like to think that, once I've a goal to aim for, I'll do whatever it takes to achieve it.

Racing's been good to me, but I'm bored of it.
