Our Guy In

At a Delhi market Guy buys a Royal Enfield bike with a traditional Hindu blessing and heads to one of the world's maddest bike races, 'Rider Mania'. Guy drinks tea, visits Asia's biggest truck yard and shows us a side of India rarely seen before.

Guy clambers up India's tallest building and has his preconceptions about slums challenged in Mumbai, before heading to Goa and the 'Rider Mania' motorbike race.

Guy's Chinese adventure starts in Chongqing, the fastest growing city in the world, where he works in a factory to build his own electric motorbike. He's surprised by the lack of automation - everything's assembled by a skilled workforce.

Guy Martin explores Beijing, ignoring the tourist traps and following his own often eccentric passions. In a backstreet bicycle shop he spends £18 on a rudimentary `Flying Pigeon', the most produced machine in the world.

Guy Martin concludes his Chinese adventure with his toughest ever physical challenge. He wants to break the record for the fastest crossing of the Taklamakan Desert on a bicycle.

Guy Martin goes on a 2500-mile journey, finding out how Japan deals with 1500 earthquakes a year, entering the gang culture of Tokyo, and trying first-hand an auto race arena.
