Could possibly be one of the best things to happen to this sport. Then again maybe not..... He could bring back some of what's missing. Of course he'd probably last about one day before he had his boot planted squarely up the ass of some primmadonna. Don't see his personality gelling too well with some of the current stars and or their entourages.

He would do fine, he was a successful racer, now a successful business owner-manager. He has savvy and is good with people.

Great stuff from the Hurricane.

I'm sure today's moto-punks think of him as this guy, though:

I don't think Bob would take any shit, the rider would ride to his ability that's for sure. Obviously Hannah would never be interested, I just like how he handles things.

back then. Put a young Hannah on a current bike and I really dont think he would be up there. Of course it's impossible to prove so its pretty much worthless to argue

I agree it's worthless to argue... with that said Hannah had something you can't teach or learn. A unbelievable will to win.

He'd suck - he's always saying guys these days don't train hard enough or want it bad enough and that they are a bunch of prima donnas. He'd last about 5 minutes before he got pissed off at the attitudes and fired everybody.W00t

I love that guy !

Here's a question... You've got little Johhny coming up in MX, home school, etc. Would you want to have Hannah as a coach / team manager ?

no. Fitness coach, sure, but riding, absolutely not.

no, not as a manager, or a fitness coach. As a motivational guy, for sure. His attitude is for sure a plus, mental toughness. Alot of guys have the speed, just not the mindset, to be up top.

For example, Shorty. They guy hands down is awesome. I am a huge fan. Short though, is missing 1 key ingredient, the I am the MAN factor. MC had it, RC had it, JS has it, Reed has it, RV has it, Dungey now has it, Trey had part of it just needs to evolve it to the 450 level (and i think he can).

There is a long list of guys that had the sheer speed and fitness, but just didnt have the take no prisoners, and noone on this line can touch me attitude. Robbie Reynard leaps to mind. Travis Pastrana, Hughs, Huffman, Larocco, Hansen, KW, Shorty, Ferry, Lusk, Hill, Millsaps, Grant, those guys can go balistic speed. Those guys can literally go faster than the above guys.... in those rare times when their mindset clicks that day. Its being able to have that mindset every weekend, thats what makes a difference.

Here, perfect example. MC in the 90's. He was balls fast, he was THE man and he KNEW he was the man. He got on the gate, he KNEW, to his core, noone could beat him. Lusk would be faster all day, so would Emig, Larocco. But they all lined up HOPING they would win, MC lined up KNOWING he WOULD win.

You put 2 guys on the line, both are 100% identical in speed. One guy thinks he can win, the other guys knows to his core he will win.... guess who wins 9 out of 10 times and the 1 time they dont win consider it a fluke for the other guy.

Read further down on the mid week report looks like Kyle regal will essentially be sx only with SELECT outdoor races.......is that for real??? That is retarded his strength is outdoors I'm sure l&m took care of him but mostly sx only for a guy that kills it outdoors seems a little ass backwards I'm sure he will improve his sx prowess riding with James and l&m but I find it to be an odd career move maybe we should get Matthew to a podcast with mark and get his opinion haha

I saw that as well and thought it was odd. I'm wondering if L & M is waiting on some more money to come in for the Outdoors ? Wasn't the tribe not interested at all in the Outdoors ?

He is still an aggressive rider/driver. He did almost take out my car's front end a few weeks back with his big black SUV. At least at the next light he apologized and laughed. Of course he could have been laughing at my comment "Holy Crap, you're Bob Hannah" when he rolled down his windshield!
