Foggy opens a road named in his honour
And in true Carl Fogarty fashion he does it riding a motorcycle, on just it’s rear wheel
CARL FOGARTY MBE (and king of the jungle!) has opened a road in his hometown of Blackburn that has been named in the WSBK legends honour.

The road is called Carl Fogarty Way and it links Gorse Street and the Red Lion roundabout and was officially opened yesterday.

The mayor of Blackburn was the second person to take to the road after Foggy and took to Twitter to speak about the opening: “A great honour to welcome Carl Fogarty MBE to Blackburn this morning, to officially open a new road in his honour. Fantastic opening ceremony with ‘Foggy’ cutting through the ribbon in style, on two wheels!”
Simon (AKA Toad) has been working within the motorcycle industry for more than twelve years, and a member of the motorcyclist family since birth. Growing up around British-built single and twins, it was inevitable that a life on two wheels was on the cards, from a very early age!
