Sox – Gary Hocking – The Forgotten World Motorcycle Champion

Product description

Until now, Gary Hocking was the only World Motorcycle Champion of his era without a book dedicated to his life. This book reveals Gary’s life in Rhodesia, how he was helped to become a World Champion, his dedication, and retirement at a young age – and the accident that cost him his life. Is a positive celebration of Gary ‘Sox’ Hocking’s life and career, and the stories, from those that knew him, reveal how he went from riding a motorbike to work, to becoming World Champion – a riveting story, made more so by being told by those who were close to him. With photos covering Hocking’s early career, racing Nortons in South Africa, through to his final motorcycle ride, at the 1962 Isle of Man TT – a win which was, in many ways, so important to him – this book is a fitting tribute to a forgotten champion.
