Every bike salespersons worse nightmare

[Muppet]

I have posted this inside another thread, but think it is too good not to deserve it's own thread.

Ever wander what hapens when people take bikes from the dealer for a "test ride"?

Thats ok, I hope it doesn't give you any silly ideas next time you take a demo bike for a spin

I still wear my Jamie Whitham neck warmer all through winter. I grew up just down the road from Donington so saw him race quite a few times. He seems to be selling Suzukis these days though.

Sorry. He was a weapon on a bike...but that near put me to sleep. And he sounds like a raving pofta.

Oldie but a goodie. What cracks me up is 90% of KBers on here would have no fucking idea who that rider actually is and if he walked into their shop they'd treat him exactly as any other. lol.

You mean he would be ignored until he took his money elsewhere or that he would be charged like a wounded bull and swear never to come back?

And to be fair, his band was shit.

Graham Norton's other half I think...

That explains it then, always thought he was a fag

Behave will you.... Foggy is a legend , seen him race many times (and Jamie wasn't any slouch either)

I am the 90%

I would suspect that the 10% are made up of 9% imports and 1% people who were really in to their racing 10-15 years ago.

I never questioned Foggys talent, just that he was a bit of a moaner. As for Jamie, didn't he have a brain tumor at one stage and had to stop competitive racing?

[SimJen]

yeah foggy was/is a massive legend, always moaned though even when he won he had a story of how something broke off or the tyre chunked....woteva
Him and Jamie do a bit of a live chat show type thing together these days, seems to be popular in the UK!
Whitham vs Fogarty 91


Whitham 500cc GP Crash

Hodgkins Disease at some stage.

Sadly he did get cancer... real shame.
As for Foggy moaning... any Brit that can win that many titles has my permission to be a Nigel Mansell if they want to be!!!!!!

Not really. I saw him on a racing video clip just a few weeks ago, he still seems to be commentating.

The biggest problem for me would be trying to understand his Yorkshire accent.
