    Just thought id give you guys a heads up about Mr WSBK himself (C Fogarty)
    dropping in to Bike Stop in stevenage, its a fantastic shop for emptying your wallet and they are having Carl down there for the day.
    not far from me so if it aint Tsunami season or avalanche weather I might have a dribble over their shelves.
    anyone else?

    Like most sportsmen at the top of their game foggy comes across as arrogant and stuck up. Thats because they are so focused on one thing. I have met foggy, with his dad (george) and his mechanic from wsb, anthony 'slick' bass. I had a top time with them and foggy was a right laugh. Just my experience and twopence worth.

    I Last met him in the isle of man when we were all out celebrating
    With plater because of his first win (08) foggy popped in and
    Was a right ignorant sod just because he wasn't getting all the
    Attention.last time i met him before that he was being right ignorant in
    The pits at the nw200 but I had put that down to race stress.
    Thought It was funny when he announced that he would have
    Beat rossi if they went head to head lol.

    I'd love to meet Plater and/or Hutchinson. Not a massive fan of Fogarty.

    I'd need an interpreter for the lot of them.

    Plater is one of the nicest blokes I have been
    Introduced to.that year I was over via foot passenger
    On the ferry but I was going to miss the last
    Race due to needing to vacate the B&B due to others
    Booked before us an plater offered to put us up In
    His mobile home so we could carry on with the party.
    Oh and he was a proper beer monster.

    Used to follow WSB around Europe in the height of Foggy days, nothing sensible come out of his mouth unless his wife was operating it, she was the brains behind it all, he just had an unusual talent at riding bikes fast, should have been put in the parts truck after each meeting and wheeled out at the next one.

    Remember meeting Chris Walker as a fresh faced kid when him and Fogarty come into Assen after the race to meet the fans and have a beer, real nice guy in comparison.
