Oh, and just an FYI…he wasn’t a big partier,
didn’t use illegal drugs and didn’t use any kind of

sport enhancing drugs or "supplements"…just
old fashioned hard work, a balanced diet and disciplined training.
A CRAZY IDEA…
The Hurricane gathered strength through his fans. They helped sustain him
through a never-ending onslaught of injuries. And ultimately, they helped
transform him into a champion.
To this day, Bob
receives fan letters and emails from all over the world, thanking him for
the journey they’d traveled together years ago.
He’s able to read them all, but there’s no way he can respond to each and
every one of them. Letters range from a man struggling with his 6th grade
education…all the way to a NASA astronaut inviting him to his first launch.
Bob appreciates them all – doesn’t
matter. They just want to tell him how one day long ago,
he inspired
them to reach for their dreams – and they did.
But over the last few years, there’s been a constant drumbeat throughout
the letters. First, they want to know, "What the heck has happened to our
sport?!"…and second, "Where can I find Hannah Racing Products?" So you know what…a crazy idea popped into my head!!
Let me just say this about our sport…
and then I’ll leave it to the
experts
or sudo-experts, to figure it out. Can
you believe a desert rat,
California kid,
from a blue collar, low-income household, with hardly a
nickel in his pocket – armed only with a high school diploma and a dream –
was signed to a full factory ride? He
forged on through HARD WORK – not natural talent – to become one of the
greatest motorcycle racers in the world.
