BIKERS would rather have Foggy on the back of their bikes this Valentine's Day than any page three girl or celebrity siren, new research has revealed.

A motorbike insurance company asked its bikers who they would like to share their bike with, and almost 70 per cent of those questioned picked Blackburn's Superbike hero Carl Fogarty.

And Foggy even beat competition from glamour girls Liz Hurley, Pamela Anderson, Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta Jones, who were all below him on the bikers' wish lists.
