Hi, my name is Robin Hannah. I
race Vintage MotoCross, at an
Intermediate level. I'm not a
Novice or an Expert, I race the
middle of the skill level ratings.
My race # is 960. I started racing
in 2006. For the 20yrs previous to
this, I rode jetskiis Offshore (out
in the ocean). I had not been on a
motorcycle since I sold my almost
new 1986 KX500 and went
jetskiing.In 2006 my stepdad past
away and he had an SL125
Honda he told my mom, He
wanted me to have. That's when I
decided to race Vintage MX. It
took me 6mos to build the SL
125. I went to several Vintage
races to see what the other SL
125's were set up like,but there
wasn't one to look at. No one was
running a 4stroke in 125 Classic
class, every bike was a 2 stroke. I
built the bike to my own specs. I
only made one race in 2006.         
   Then in 2007, I raced the whole
season. Making the SL the first
4stroke to ever win the 125 class,
  in the Ahrma  Northwest VMX
Championship. The following
year I repeated the win taking the
2008 Championship title.
During the off season break of winter 2008,
I was thinking about my versatility as a
racer, and if I just experienced racing one
bike in one class, my racing would be one
dimensional, and to see if I could push
myself to be a more well rounded rider, I
built a 175 CT1 Yamaha and raced it in 250
classes in Ahrma PVMX and VMX. At the
same time a friend of mine offered to
sponsor me on an 82 Husqvarna 500cr in
Post Vintage mx. Which I accepted and
after a lot of work and set up it was an
awesome race bike as this video from the
Taft National shows                                       
  So 2009 was a busy season racing
wrenching and prepping 2 bikes all season.
At the end of the season I had taken the
250cc Ahrma regional (on a 175) and the
500cc AVDRA National Championships.

Between 2009 and 2010 I got the
idea for the "MotoQuest". To be the
first guy in Vintage Motocross to win
Championships in all the major
engine sizes which are
100/125/250/500/Open Twin. So I
built a 100cc SL Honda 4stroke and
raced the whole season. Taking
The AHRMA Regional and the
AVDRA National Championships in
100cc.  I also raced +40 classes in
both Clubs. At 53yrs old I was giving
up 10yrs also most age class riders
race 400cc 2strokes, I was on my
SL100. In +40 I ended up 3rd N/W
Region in Ahrma and Taking the
National +40 Title in AVDRA on a
100!!
Below... After building a very potent
1972 CZ 400, for an overseas customer
last season, he wanted me to do a
shakedown run with it. So when AVDRA
had their annual CZ world Championship
race in Gardnerville Nevada. I went, and
even though the bike was barely broken
in I won my Class 500 Intermediate
Back to the "MotoQuest" Having now won 100/125/250/500cc Championships, there is
only one left, to achieve my goal. Open twin. Premier Open Twin  is the class I am
gunning for next. Premier Open Twin is a class for bikes manufactured with 600cc or
more and having separate engine and transmission cases, Pre-unit. Of the choices out
there only BSA, Triumph and Norton, are feasible to use for Vintage MotoCross. This is
where I'll need your help with technical advice, Parts and tool location help. Please
consider helping me, I would represent your shop by wearing a Jersey with your shop
logo while competing and steer people in your direction at the races. Please contact me
and let me know if you are interested in this idea.
