look closely this is the race that Hannah used the Boyesen linked bike.
Also Johnny O has WP 4054 forks
theres 3 parts.
-

What bike did you get? so us the pics.
Like any fork they are good if set up right -shit if not but generally they were pretty good for the era.IMO. :)
-
These one seem to work alright- consider that Johnny O could have used Works Honda conventionals if he wanted.
I think RJ's upside down forks that he used at Anahiem in 86 might also be 4054 's with the stickers removed.
-
Are you sure O'Mara has White powers, they look like factory upside down Showas to me.
Can't imagine Honda would let him run anything else but Showas.

look closely ,you can see the 4054 stickers and the wp. but yer it does seem odd. Maybe just for Unadilla .
Its even more odd that Suzuki let Hannah run the Boyesen link.After he won the official promo pics had that part of the bike cut off or obsured.

Hey Moto,
its a yz250t. the rear shock is also aftermarket from the day it has MX racing written on it. I cannot put a photo on here for some reason...

Would that be the ex James Deakin YZ250 that was for sale in Redcliffe?
-
yes a few weeks back, the bike sound quite nice... do you know the bike?

Wow that would be a sweet weapon if its in good shape. Post a pic on the mainsite for us.

I saw pics of it when Geoff had it. I would've seen it back in the day.

Nahh !!
Pause it at 2.06 min and 4.08 min and you can see the showa stickers on the fork leg (enlarge it to full screen)

yer maybe I need my eyes checked. My big screen is too fuzzy but I think I see it on the small.
Oh well .Hannah has the Boyesen link though. Strange. :)

Hey moto, i havn't ridden it yet, but it sounds good, and the suspension seems good... how do i post a pic on the main site...

Cool clips...I think thats the year Suzuki had to pull the Full Floater rear end for legal reasons.
-
Was that the reason? I always thought that it was because the flaoter had too many moving parts and cost too much. But yer that was the year , though Burnsworth and co's bikes already had the new linkage type rear ends in 85.
-
Thnaks for posting those links. Great to see the post moto2 Hannah interview, where he couldn't have been more gracious in his win
-
They have been a good watch, thanks for that.
Is it just me , or does there seem to be heaps more 'big' names in this era than today. These days (to me) there are a couple of big names a the rest are also rans.

Apparently the US guy who invented the full floater system pulled the plug on suzuki and kept the patents locked up in his basement...he got pissed off over some minor thing and told them all to f off.

I thought it might have been just me too, or maybe that I don't follow the moderns enough.
At the Hangtown National in 85 I saw all the heroes of the day like Bailey, Glover, Breker, Ward, Hannah, O"Mara, Johnson, Lechien, Lackey, laPorte, Dymond, Kehoe and Liles.
And not to forget other household names like Hammond & Kerr ;D
The racing of the day saw Lechien run away with the 125's, everyone else was an "also ran"
Bailey and Glover duelled all the way in the 500's, Liles couldn't get close let alone the rest.
Ward won the 250's but it could have gone to a few of the others, allthough some of the "heroes" had had their day.
It's a bit like the touring car thread in that perfection seems to rule to the point that it becomes boring when one learns how to dominate. The thrill of the race is not knowing the outcome at the start
-
'And not to forget other household names like Hammond and Kerr'
Sorbent is also a household name but you wipe your bum with it and flush it down the toilet. Is that what you mean?:D

I refuse to answer that on the grounds that one of them reads these posts ;D
And now that I think about it, the other was on crutches.

HAHA. yer I was trying to remember Dave racing but couldn't - forgot about the crutches and I was holding up the course marshall from memory.
But it was a great day on the Sunday.Got pics?

Yep#39 Burner , Hannah is either behind RJ or behind Goat. #58 is Scotter Stamford
dont remember Lackey - are you sure ?
back to the garage :)
-
If Lackey was there he would've been spectating.. he retired at the end of '82 and made a one off appearance at the '83 USGP.
I can imagine how good that Unadilla race would've been, there was so much depth of talent back then.

Yer thats what I thought but I wasn't 100% sure .We all got different memories after 25 years.

Great shot Geoff, from memory Burners holeshot both motos. I'll see if I can dig my pics out. I wasabit further round at the start.
-
Hannah & Lackey were on team Honda, it was around this time that Honda bought everyone they could.
Hannah was No 25, can't remember Lackey's No but he was their.

Were you guys at the Unadilla National..a different race to the U tube video?

Na , never been there unfortunately. Geoff's first photo is from Hangtown 85 .It was the 1st national that year I think. We were on the Stephen Gall Cali. tour together with a bunch of other guys.
Almost exactly 25 years ago! Jessuuusss!
Not convinced about Lackey Geoff - maybe he was mentor or something
-
No, we were at the Hangtown National in northern Ca.
I think it may have been the first Nat. in 85
back to the workshop :(
-
I got some pics of Hannah #25
rains eased off - back to work
-
Pretty sure lackey was riding. Pretty sure he wasn't very fast too ;D
I thought I was wrong once before, turns out I was mistaken ::)
-
Lackey finished at the end of '82 after he won his world title he couldn't get a ride the following season.
He rode for Team Honda in '77 & '78.

Yer coz he asked for a million bucks .
-
I spent this morning looking for the program to sort you doubting bastards out, but Lackeys names not in there. But then they have left out Breker & Ward as well.
A phone call to Dave I guess pretty much confirms that he wasn't riding. Apparently he lives in the area.
Too many Bundies & Bourbons over the years I guess.
Seems that Hangtown was the second event that year, Gainsville, Florida was the opener.

Found some old "Revs" as well. They did some reports on what was going on over their.
A fit & slim Dave holds the pit board for Heffo.
Long before Wacko Jacko started the one white glove fashion Dave could be seen with one white boot.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a393/gmcloa/Hangtown-Dave-2.jpg)
I was their with the same picture in mind, couldn't quite get the exposure right though.
I might have done better if those other photographers weren't getting in my way ;D
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a393/gmcloa/HeffoFinish.jpg)
Revs also did a story on the guys at the last Golden State round. I was oblivious to the photo shoot as I was wandering around the track taking photo's myself.
I don't think Brent was their because he was bludging in Hawaii

Those pics are ********** awesome Geoff.What memories! What about little Dackie for trim and terrific?I think Belly still looks the same!
Gary and Myself came later .The family wouldn't let me go till after my sisters wedding , oh and I stopped of in Hawaii on the way for a bit of a cardio workout.
Lackey isnt there but LaPorte is - I forgot about that.
-
Thanks, enjoying this thread very much fellas. I've just started looking back over Hannah's great career. Was lucky enough to get an autographed pic from the great man himself. It's ironic that we couldn't get an autograph from Chad at the Super X but have been able to recently get both the Hurricane's and McGrath.

photo#1 :- a few corners later Burnsworth has a clear holeshot , then O'show,Wardy @Johnson
photo#2 Broc doing the double .This is the double that Dave Hammond is pitboarding Heffo to do - even though he already had a big lead.
-
Yeah that would have been the double at "dirt diggers ditch"
We had talked about it earlier and thought it was jumpable even though most of us couldn't and no one was doing it. Heffo said he would give it a go if he wasn't under pressure. He had a good lead in the last race and that's why Dave is giving him the wind up.
He was the only one of the Amateurs to jump it on Saturday. Come Sunday with the Pro's and they were all doing it.
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a393/gmcloa/Heffo-1.jpg)
I remember waiting for Bailey to come round so I could get him on these doubles. Would have been around the end of practice. Most of them had to gun it to make the distance. Someone fell of in front of Bailey on the short straight before the double and Bailey backed off to go around him so I lowered my camera. Then there was this deep bark, Braaaaaap, as Bailey clutched the RC 500 and still easily made the distance. The guy was awesome.
-
Behind Dave with the pitboard is Russel Evans.
A South Australian that broke his leg/ankle early in the trip as well.
He was into KTM's at the time, anybody from SA remember him?

Great shot there Geoff. Yer good on Heffo for giving it a go.It was a nasty outcome if you didnt make it.These days the second jump is usually lower and rounded off.Not this one.Did nt Heffo crash on the Sunday?On it?
-
The amateurs weren’t supposed to be able to ride with the Pro's but somehow Heffo talked his way in to race with the Pro's on Sunday, typical Heffo.
I remember he only just qualified by the skin of his teeth, but I don't remember what happened to him in the race, I was too busy taking in the real guys.
There was always something going on at Hangtown,
fight, fight, fight,

I thought if you won saturday you could race sunday - not sure.good story anyways

anyone have the "Massacre at Saddleback" DVD with the "Hannah -vs- Howerton" 1981 stoush, is it worth getting?
