Looks like Bob lost the nads a long time ago. Course, if I won on pure guts, I wouldn't be riding now either :) The guys that are in had the talent, still do. He just couldn't bare being beat by those who had REAL talent. (More than just the will to twist the throttle). Flame on!
I know Marty reads DRN... that was for you bud.

Offroadr, I read somewhere a while back in an article about Hannah that he can hardly ride at all any more. After taking such a beating over those jumps with the inferior suspension (by today's standards) his legs are just hammered.
I think it's a case of an old guy that is so competitive, and knows he can't compete at the level he used to, so he doesn't even bother. I work with a guy like that. Won't even race just for fun.

Was he jumping stuff no one else was? Nah.... he's just trying to protect his "legend". He was always out of control and floppin' all over the bike.
I watched him almost kill himself at Mid-Ohio in 75 trying to keep up with Marty, who was doing two jumps, first "double" I'd ever seen... yeah it was only about 60-70 feet, but on a 75 Elsinore? DeCoster wasn't even doing it.

i wanna' ride on guts:( i've got plenty, only problem now , there is this nasty little overide switch,hardwired in,that after many years of doing "guts" stuff, shuts down my stupid switch which in turn overides my guts switch and....well, just another old man with bum knees,bad back and a fast bike. maybe i gotta work on the skills aspects. :think
Ya know, Hannah was one of my major heroes back in the day and I feel a little disappointed that he won't go at it any more. If he is too beat up to moto, I can relate but he comes off as condescending and bitter. Maybe after all the things he has said about the new riders he doesn't want to open hiself up for criticism, or maybe he is so hyper competetive he can't race" for fun"` either way its kinda sad. BTW Lechien is my new hero, doing it for all the beefy gus in the moto world! :debil:

OK, Okie, I'll take the bait :)
First of all, I didn't think Hannah was even on a factory bike until '76 when he won Round 1 at Hangtown on the water pumper.
No disrespect to Smith because he was a great champion, but Hannah proved long ago that he was on a higher level.
Let's compare some results:
125 National Victories: Hannah 8, Smith 8
500 National Victories: Hannah 2, Smith 2
Pretty close so far :)
250 National Victories: Hannah 27, Smith 2
250 SX Victories: Hannah 27, Smith 3
TRANS AMA Victories: Hannah 6, Smith 3
MXdN Appearance: Hannah 4, Smith 0
MXdN Victories: Hannah 1, Smith 0
Hannah has nothing left to prove on an MX track. So I can respect his decision not to diminish his legacy, especially if he's not in race shape.

Ron Lechien looked GREAT! I just watched it (Tevo'ed) and he just kept getting faster. A truely great talent. Marty Smith looked good, about as good as ever and really good for an old guy! Broc Glover is still stupid fast. I was really bummed that Hurricane bowed out again :ugg: Sure can't blame him if he doesn't want to go out and get the aches and pains is some hammered knees but heck I'm slow and have the same problem but I'm out to have fun not uphold my status as Mr. Gun it-n-Guts.

Hannah's Nads
Evidently some of these guys are not aware of his exploits in the Reno air races and the 500mph race planes he flew and almost died in a couple of times. I just don't think Bob is interested in racing motocross anymore and I'm sure he's not interested in bustin himself up just to prove he can still wax the same guys he kicked around 20 years ago.
