Foggy: The Explosive Autobiography

If you are a motorcycle race fan, I highly suggest you read Foggy, the biography of Carl Fogarty. This book will teach you so much about the tale behind the motorcycle races. Foggy tells of many different things that he went through to make it on top, which he held for many years. I highly recommend reading this book.

I think Neil Bramwell made few changes to what Carl wrote. The writing is not great but that is what makes this book good. Nobody is spared and Foggy tells it all (even details of his wedding night). Foggy also tells many embarassing stories on himself. It is a delightful read. The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is that he is constantly making excuses about the times he was beaten and bragging about how easy it was when he won. But, on the other hand, what do you expect from Carl? I am not a fan of his but I really loved this book. If you are a fan of world superbike racing, I think you should definitely buy this book.

For all those fans of Carl Fogerty and for any fan of racing, this book is worth the price. It lets you in on the hardships and the triumphs of professional racing. Foggy's candor makes for an entertaining read. You'll expand your vocabulary with great Blackburn colloquialisms as well. Even if you are not a fan, you'll grow to like him for what he is, a racing legend.
