Of all time probably Foggy for how much he did, But I do love Whitham but thats more for personality than his riding lol
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Enjoy

incidentally my dad knew Geoff Duke, he was a decorator my dad was and went round to Geoff Dukes to do some painting and stuff, Geoff Duke had a lid with a paint mark on it and my dad how it happened, apparently he hit a lamp post with his head somewhere on the IOM and left a scuff on his the side, he reckons another half an inch further in and he wouldn't have survived it
