some serious balls here... nice wheelie out of the cutting... and no chase down conrod straight, would be mighty fun on one of these old beasts

you should of seen 'em live

Hansford on a green machine coming off the last hump at around 280-290ish and flying for 100m ..or more
before having to stop for Murrays (bathurst circa 83 from my memory)

That's awesome

Back when men were men.

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 ???

I raced there in 82 & 83 its a killer of a track, but there is just something about the place.

My old man says the same thing!!!

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.
