So I’m chattin with a few guys I know at the Suzuki stand on Sunday at the show and a guy joins in the conversation. So easy was it that he joined in with the three of us as we admired the limited edition GSXR on the stand that I assumed he was another regular customer of one of the dealers present.
Even when he got on the bike and a few pictures where taken by some of the stand people, I still thought it was a bit of messing among bikers who knew each other.
Little did I realise (until they announced it on the speakers and we where mobbed by the flashing cameras) that I was stood beside Guy Martin. It seems he really is every bit the easy going, down to earth guy they say he is, ’cause he joined us like he was any other punter at the show.
All of a sudden I’m a huge fan of his.
Apparently there are only 2 limited edition gsxr’s to be sold in Ireland this year. If that’s the case then I am pleased to say by happy coincidence I have sat on both, and to add to it (sort of) Guy Martin sat on my second one right after I did.
