Absolutely awesome bloke. He is the next Fred Dibnah. Really passionate about what he does. Apparently he doesn't own a tv and has no direct access to Internet.

His speed series is good, he does a "how Britain worked" series as well which is interesting.

He's mad and doesn't have a care in the world.

Top top bloke....mega.

Guy Martin is an awesome bloke. I love the speed series. I've just watched series two episode two. That Bike is awesome and it was such a shame that it wasn't running to its full potential. He still took first in class though :) Roll on next week for the hovercraft world speed record :)

I love watching Guy and his shows, they are without exception always interesting which you can't say about the usual fucking dirge or dancing and talent fecking shows.

BUT, last night annoyed me a bit, just because personally I would not even contemplate taking a bike all the way to the USA without running the fucker on a dyno and a test trackday first to make sure it was right. To me a little bit more prep and the thing could have been running right and would have been even better.

I totally agree, I just assumed that it wasn't interesting TV so they didn't show it.

It must have at least been on an rr though. And I did think that the laptop screen shot was SC software!

Say's it all. If a bloke like Guy Martin can't figure it out, what chance have others......

I have no problems with it. and to be honest, looking at Guy's phone he's not exactly up-to-date with technology, a Nokia 6210 at least 14 years okd

IMO clunky is the word I would use. And the data logging seems poor but maybe that's me..

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

As in problematic or just difficult to understand and navigate.

I've only use their software once and found quite good, epecially when I discovered all the quick keys. I've just acquired a Typhoon 2 Ecu and planning on giving it a go on my latest project. I find the graphing and visual display stuff real user friendly.

Ive used the SC software a bit, and it is a bit counter intuative to start with,

Why did you pick on me lol.

To answer your question, some would have you belive it's perfectly OK. That is all I'm saying.
