h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm writing an entry about Carl Fogarty (4 times world superbike champ for those of you who don't know) I was just wondering if I should include links to pics of the different types of bikes he's had, or should I assume that anyone who wants to read about him will therefore know what bikes I'm speaking of?

I think it would be positively sinful not to share photies of the gorgeousness that is a Ducati

IMO photos of the bikes may fall foul of the picture-advertising thingy, but a link to the bike via manufacturer would be very helpful.

I'll look forward to the entry.

What link to the manufacturer rather than the bike itself? I'd like to add at this point that he's not used the same bike through out his career. As for ducati I prefer the Yam

Bah! Philistine.



Really looking forward to reading this entry when you're done by the way

Ducati is like armarni

it's no different from any other bike/suit it's the name your paying for

Come on the back of a thunderace with me and I'll show you what I mean

I admit to knowing absolutely nothing of any relevance about bikes, infact, I'm not terribly keen on them. My brother was/is the bike fiend, he used to race, both moto-x and then the speedy vroooomy ones, and although I used to enjoy going to watch him race (with my heart in my throat) I never paid any attention to any particular bike, until he got his Ducati...and in a very girly way too, I just thought it looked pretty and made a lovely noisetil he crashed it and made it look like a toaster

I bow to your superior knowledge and the fact that my bro upgraded to various other flavours since

Young man!

Makes a nice noise!!!!


*fears you need your ears testing*


you'll be quite safe, my grandmother has been pillion too me and sufered no ill effects (she's 80 by the way in case you were wondering)

Eh?

Granny Fortuneswell rocks!

I think it's called 'having gumption'

No links to manufacturers/commercial sites, that's against the houserules. If you can find pictures of the bikes themsleves, links to them should be fine.

Thanks B

You're welcome, Cal. If you have a photo of one or more of the bikes in question and you took it/them yourself, you could post it to the h2g2 <./>photographers</.> group.

I only have a pic of my yam and CBR he's never ridden those particular ones

Never mind, it was just an idea in case you had a photo.

In answer to your original question Cal, I'd say that you should not assume that anyone reading about Carl Fogarty knows anything about him or his bikes and therefore any info, or pictures, should be aimed squarely at the potentially ignorant.
