We only used it for one trip of 2000km. It was still quite new. We unfortunately got bad fuel in Lesotho and had problems with the bike all the way down to Durban and back home. On a good note - it made it all the way on it's own steam huffing and puffing. It also survived down a very muddy and wet Sani Pass without brakes (you can't switch off the ABS). How do you find yours?
The Crosby? We only had it for that one weekend and not sure if it survived the whole bad-fuel thing? Haven't seen any around. Why? Are you looking for a small adventure bike?
Awesome video!!! Looking for a small Adventure Bike and just came across the bike today. Looking at doing something similar across Lesotho, and this video is great!!! Did you encounter any mechanical issues on your ride?
Not with the bike itself, but we got bad fuel in Lesotho which clogged up the filters, etc. Had a battle to get the bike back up in Jo'burg, but... I can't imagine any other bike still completing the trip and making it all the way back with filthy petrol flowing through its tubes. One up for Crosby!
I know this was 2 years ago but I see lots of these bikes for sale but can't find any on the brand or where it comes from or anything, do you still have it and any info on the brand ?
I'm not sure about the origin of the bike. Best would be to contact Pat from V Custom Cycles for more info (pat@vcustomcycles.co.za). But the bike survived - which in itself is a golden star to Crosby.
Great video! Thank you for sharing, I have one but I wanted to know how good or bad it is?.. How many Kms did you made with it?

Yours still running Skinny? Looks like something I might enjoy abusing for a shortwhile.

Hi skinny,
How you doin 👋
Crosby? Never heard of them.
I'm not sure about the origin of the bike. Best would be to contact Pat from V Custom Cycles for more info (pat@vcustomcycles.co.za). But the bike survived - which in itself is a golden star to Crosby.
Made in China by Shine Ray, also sold in France as "Mash"
Do you have any more info or opinion on the bike, I see a lot for sale around
WTF is this?
Not sure if Pat still brings them in. You'll have to contact V-Custom Cycles in Centurion.
