Here's the reason that I have always been a fan of Bob Hannah, he tells it like it is. At least from his point of view. This interview was from 2000.
Good reading!

Bob was / is the man. He always spoke his mind...

I agree 100%. I hate the wannabe rapper/ rockstar kick that alot of the younger (and older) racers are on now. Come on Chad Reed take that 5 pound dimond earing out of your ear and give it back to P-Diddy or whoever you got it from.

Look at most of the riding gear it looks like gang member crap.

I totally agree with Bob Hannah on this one, and it's not only in MX it's in all types of racing! :-[ These factory guys don't give a crap about finishing first or last, their in it for the $$$$$$$.

Sadly, DeCoster says they (Suzuki) keep his mouth shut. What happened to having your own balls? And Hannah was right. Todays racers might just as well go home. I had a team manager tell me a few years ago how spoiled these kids are. He could barely work with them. You know, if the factories went away, and the guys who showed up to race were there for the love of it, I think racing would be better off. Another reason to force the rule changes on the factories. They will either leave or build bikes to win. Either way, we win.

I received a very comprehensive rant on YouTube a few months ago from a Swedish guy who apparently had some sort of connection to the guys at Husqvarna. He went in-depth about what MX used to be back in the good old days. I was going to post it, but then the forum spat it back at me and claimed I went over the 20,000 character limit. That goes to show the depth of this post. I don't feel like spending two hours and hacking away at the message, so I'll just leave it here, or let John work out some special exception or something if someone's interested enough to read this thing.

JETZ - please forward that to me.... maybe it'll get posted on the main page. There are no limits there!! Honestly didn't know there were limits on the forum. :o
