I had the extrodinary privilage of spending the evening the other night at Terry Good's in Chicago, It was one of the most thrilling nights of my life!!!, Drinking Beer with Terry in his basement surrounded by 4 of Hannah's OW's , works RC's everywhere, Joel roberts RH250, Hallmans YZ just to mention a few,Talking of all the "Back in the day"stuff, It really blew me away and I am still realing from it days later,
I even got to sit on Hannah's 1979 OW40 which is "The Holy Grail" for me!
Terry has plans for a museum in the future so all can go and see them and he also spoke of plans for a lot of them to do a parade lap at mid ohio next year with all their respective former riders, what a site that would be to see.
I am just so pumped from having the privilage and the experience of being there, I just had to tell you guys...

you bastard ;D

Shit hot, well done. so did you take lots of photo's of yourself surrounded by Works bikes or was that off limits.
-
So how the hell did you get to be at Terry Good's place checking out his awesome toys?
-
Good on ya! Terrys place would have to be the 'Graceland' of VMX.
I hope you invited him onto the Forum and the next Classic Dirt?

Guys, Just awoke from jet lag land, I have been dealing with Terry for some years now, buying whatever I could from him for my semi-works YZ250F/G, Terry has always been great and to meet him was a blast, his enthusiasm for work bikes and "back in the day" stuff realy is second to none, I would have loved to have photograohed myself with Hannah's OW40 but I didnt ask as I know Terry makes money from photo's of his bikes and I was not going to intrude on that, I was tremendously honoured just to be there, He is very good freinds with Bob Hannah and most other guys from way back then, man! his collection is phenominal and when it all gets displayed in his museum it will be the history of US motocross in one single place.
Terry is aware of classic dirt and I have invited him to come one year and stay with us, I also told him I would supply him a bike to ride, I'm sure that we will see him down here one of these days.

Any chance of a photo of the bike you are building? I have always been interested to build a Hannah replica using either a F or G model.
