My old man still reckons Hansford is the best rider he ever saw.

Great footage Pinchy, nice find mate....

If only we could find some footage of Hansford v Willing back in 1974? 75 - one of the greatest Australian GP's ever, with both of them doing enormous wheelies over the second hump on Conrod.......just awesome.

Smitty - you reckon he left the ground for 100m ??? :shock:

Andrew Johnson on the 500 Honda in about '83 - incredible through McPhilamy and Reid Park. I nearly shit myself everytime he came past, awesome, awesome motorcycle riding.
