This is Mr Crosby's Bio: Graeme Crosby (born in 1955) is a former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer From New Zealand. A supremely versatile rider, Crosby holds the distinction of having won the Daytona 200, the Imola 200, the Suzuka 8 Hours, and the Isle of Man TT.

Crosby began his racing career in 1974 in the New Zealand racing scene. In 1976, he made an impression in the Australian Superbike championship. He then left for Europe in 1980 to compete in Britain where he won the Isle of Man Senior TT. By 1980, he had worked his way up to the 500cc road racing world championship on a Suzuki RG500. Also in 1980, he teamed up with Wes Cooley on a Yoshimura Suzuki to win the Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race. After finishing fifth in the 1981 500cc championship, he made a move to the Agostini Yamaha factory racing team. He began the 1982 season by winning the prestigious Daytona 200. Despite injuries, Crosby still managed second overall in the championship. Frustrated by the internal politics of his race team Crosby quit the Grand Prix circuit after the 1982 season.

After his retirement Crosby returned to New Zealand and has run a number of successful motorcycle businesses. He also took up four-wheelers, driving successfully in Touring car racing, mostly in New Zealand and Australia. Crosby was inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. In 2007, he was inducted into the New Zealand Motorcycling Hall of Fame.

Nobody can beat Biaggis wheelie, thats more than 90 degrees. crazy

i think it actually went past 90%! he was very lucky there!

Biaggi's wheelie was in Assen.

If you have never seen a BSB race from Cadwell Park you have no idea what you are missing.

Gotta love a maiden victory wheelie!

Another nice one from Rossi!

I deleted it from the Tivo last week but I think it was Jorge Lorenzo from Misano who lifted it up while exiting the last corner while the bike was still leaned over,
Those are always fun to watch

cant remember the yeah but one i loved was at old assen when vale wheelied round the last corner and over the finish line. another i actually saw was at donny 02 , rossi sat side saddle on the tank waving at the crowds while biaggi was franticly trying to catch him on the line. biaggi didn't manage it and had a face like a wet weekend on he podium...,arr good memory's

This was actually one hell of a save on Biaggi's part!

Wow!

Ah yes Biaggi's wheelie past the point of no return

Max really is the master of the "Crazy Wheelie"!

I have more respect for Max now.

Sorry, just to add a little fuel all for fun, but if it is victory wheelies doesn't that rule Hopper out?





But I have to admit, I do enjoy his shows.

Edited to add the fact I do like Hopper's wheelies
