Has Graeme Crosby gone soft in the middle?
He now owns a Road King Harley and a poodle called Sophie.......:wait:
Wonder if he has a fitted sheepy woolly seat thingy?.....:innocent:
Still, once and icon always an icon........:first:

And this belongs in Hgs and Cruisers why?

What the hell is wrong with everybody today. For the record, I'd own a Road King Custom. Number 2 on my favourite Harley list in fact. Nice bike.

Well Trash...........its here mainly because there was no Forum for poodles or wooly sheepy things .............it's about a Harley, maybe you should add highway pegs to your sports bike and.......relax a little.........:innocent:

I'd love to add highway pegs to my sports bike, if I ever get one.

Just doesn't seem to have much Harley related stuff in it is all. Aaron Slight has one too, and John Banks, and Brian Tamaki (although he doesn't deserve one), and Mick Doohan.............

John Banks has a Harley? Does he actually ride it? He always struck me as an all image and no action sort of a guy.

Whatever Croz is still a hero. Who else ever achieved this:

Graeme Crosby

1980
1st Senior TT / Isle of Man (Suzuki RGB500)
1st Daytona Superbikes (Yoshimura Suzuki)
1st Suzuka 8hrs Suzuki GS1000
2nd F1 TT / Isle of Man (Suzuki XR69)
2nd 500cc British R/Racing Championship (RGB500)
2nd 500cc German GP / Nurburgring
2nd F1 TT British Championship

1981
1st F1-TT World Championship (Suzuki 997)
5th 500cc World R/Racing Championship (Suzuki)
1st TT Formula One / Isle of Man (Suzuki 997)
1st Classic TT / Isle of Man (Suzuki 997)
1st 500cc British Championship (Suzuki RG500)
1st Marlboro Race of the Year (Suzuki RG500)
2nd F1-TT Ulster GP / Dundrod (Suzuki 997)
2nd 500cc French GP / Paul Ricard
2nd 500cc Italian GP / Monza
3rd 500cc Austrian GP / Saltzburgring
3rd 500cc San Marino GP / Imola

1982
2nd 500cc World Championship (Yamaha OW60)
1st ITV Superbike Challenge (Yamaha)
1st Daytona 200 (Yamaha YZR750)
1st Imola 200 (Yamaha OW60)
2nd 500cc Yugoslavia GP / Rijeka
2nd 500cc Italian GP / Misano
2nd 500cc British GP / Silverstone
2nd 500cc Swedish GP / Anderstorp
2nd 500cc San Marino GP / Mugello

I don't think any one else has ever won at the Isle of Man, the Suzuka 8hrs, Daytona 200 and the Imola 200.

I had thought he'd go places car racing but after dabbling in touring car racing and doing quite well he just never made it to the top for any length of time and then quit.

If he's still riding even on a fat arsed Harley, good on him.

He's had quite a few of 'em. Used to purchase a new one off The Hippie every year or two. And yup, he rides 'em.

Croz served his apprenticeship at Shafts - so why can't he have a Harley.Although there were very few Harley's at Shafts in those days,but he would of worked on them.Does he have a Aria in ''Top Hat''?

He learnt to fly in the 90's and when I last saw him he was selling jetskis and looking at going commercial flying..

Was that some skinny white trash prick riding a gixxer of some sort? He's probably almost up there with Croz these days as some sort of hero. Though he's now abandoned the central area so that probably counts against him in the minds of those outside Jafaville.

Croz was a bloody funny bugger to work for.

He would only hire fat chicks too, he kept saying it was so the rest of us guys wouldn't be distracted and do some bloody work but secretly I think he has a thing for the cuddly ones :yes:

The hardest blokes I know ride Heritage Soft tails and an Electraglide.
No question.

Graeme Crosby has earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants...

I'd own a harley (not as my only bike, but).

I would quite like a Street Bob but with lower bars. or a XL1200R

(or an MV, or a Triumph Scrambler, or a 749S....)

Big ol' road king - pretty much stock, but debaffled and a decent passenger seat for me. Black and white paint.
Thing of beauty and an absolute joy to ride. Mainly around town use.

He bought it from AMPS. He's an OK guy, getting on a bit now, but aren't we all?

I don't know, I get a bit nervous talking to some of them about anything but bikes. The 'hardness' is in their eyes.

If I get the chance I'll introduce you and you can ask 'em.

Croz a true legend !! I first saw him skiing next to his Mach IV down pit lane at a 6 hour , his front brakes had gone completely !!!! Has he got his teeth fixed yet ? Gaz.
