In 1976 a virtually unknown teenager from the high desert of Southern California began the motocross racing season on his new Yamaha with a purpose and an attitude. He would end the season with his first of seven #1 plates and a nickname…The Hurricane.

Bob “Hurricane” Hannah took the motocross world by storm in the 70’s and 80’s with his unique, no-holds barred riding style on the track and his matter-of-fact opinions off the track. Most of his competitors hated him (as he hated them) but everyone respected what would become one of the sport’s biggest personalities and most accomplished racers of all time.
