Hannah looking pissed as usual. Bet he was rolling his eyes having to sit there next to Broc. Awesome!

What a cracker!!
I'd say the photographer specifically asked them to duplicate the same body
language from old photo ... which  would explain Hannah's blank face.
Handlebars and arms all in the same positioning. 
Modern bike looks especially too tall for Bob.

MX Works Bikes guru Terry Good (on right - second photo) supplied the works Yams
for 60th Anniversary in USA, and these are his pix from the event. http://www.mxworksbike.com/
Note the model of Hannah's classic jump at Unadilla!
Numbers added to final (group) photo, for the naming game ...

im surprized no one has ever punched Hannah in is little face as an old man. If you ever hear him on DMXS or the Pulp MX podcast he still talks alot of shit that I would need to put an end to if I were Kent Howerton or Broc Glover. Fun is fun but there is a time to shut your mouth
