Went down to the "Rocket Centre" open day yesterday to catch 7 times World Super bike Champion Carl Fogarty M.B.E plus a few of other top riders, Jamie Whitham, Leon Camier, Adam Jenkinson, Alex Lowes and trials stunt/display rider Steve Colley. Picked up a couple of books for Carl to sign which he did, One for you Richard a welcome back gift :-x. had a real laugh with Carl and Jamie Whitham, arch rivals back in the late 1990's..got both to sign a pic in the second book I took..photo from Brands hatch back in 1998, Carl won the that race with Jamie a close 2nd, Jamie said it was the best race he'd ridden that season, Carl said "How could it be ...you came 2nd? you always came 2nd....only 'cause you rode in the same era was Jamie's reply It looks awesome signed in Silver, Pic's don't do it justice...Very relaxed afternoon...both riders knew where the photo was taken, which track and year it was....Carl told Jamie he'd have won with a bigger margin if it wasn't for a dodgy front wheel bearing part way through the 2nd race ....I had to laugh.so did the rest of the crowd around us. Carl also signed the title page in the book as well as a couple of promo pic's. Trial display rider Steve Colley signed a pic and card for me too. The other rides also signed index cards for me. Jamie Whitham, Leon Camier, and Adam Jenkinson....Alex Lowes I missed. Great bunch of guys who hung around all afternoon amongst the crowd chatting about anything, having photo's taken, signing autographs, Drinking beer and chilling out. No Hassle day....Enjoyed it a lot.....Thanks Lads
