This was a awesome man. He was a high school friend of my Dads. Both Growing up in Union Grove Wisconsin. Both went off to the War (WW2). He and his family knew most of mine. He sold me my first Street bike in 85'.... a Maxium 700 and traded it later for a V-Max. He thought I was a crazy kid.lol He will be fondly missed in my Community. Hell of a guy a great man.

I first got to know Hansen when he ran Team Hansen (Kawi USA AMA team before the Yamaha TZs put them out of the running)

Bob was a true gentleman who always had time for a chat on raceday

I was aboard a Camelback CB450 at college the same year Bob took 3 SUPER-trick CR450s to Daytona

Team Hansen FB has lotsa current & historic fotos

oh yeah, those were the days for AMA [not "AMA Pro"] roadracing.....

you'll occasionally see similar '60s & '70s Daytona fotos for other BIG factory teams from H-D, Triumph/BSA, Yamaha & Suzuki
