Back then open faced helmets were still in vogue and when the weather got hot and muggy many racers shed face protection in favor of air flow. Here’s Hannah, mouth open, agro and clad in Scott boots, Griffs leathers and his famous lightning bolts and DG logo. It didn’t get any better than Bob at the height of his powers.
