Croz – Larrikin Biker – Graeme Crosby
From the moment Kiwi Graeme Crosby arrived in the UK in 1979 he became an instant fans’ favourite, with his hard charging style on the high bar Moriwaki.
In just four years Croz went from unknown to two times World Champion and added TT, Imola 200, Daytona 200, and Suzuka 8 Hour wins to his impressive CV.
At long last the unassuming Croz has recorded his rise to fame, and the grounding on the street circuits of New Zealand that prepared him to take on Europe and the rest of the world.
A great read, Croz – Larrikin Biker, published by Harper Collins, is impossible to put down. For details on how to obtain a copy visit www.harpercollins.co.nz

all well illustrated with over 250 photographs.
