Bob Hannah on the OW27  1976 Buchanan Michigan

    Welcome to mxworksbike.com! Now for the first time, an online museum dedicated to the Works bike.  The focus of this site will primarily be the factory efforts in professional Motocross from the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's.  This site promises to host the most in-depth, comprehensive and factual information related to this sport.  Featured will be the largest collection of works and historical motocross bikes in the world.  Many are the actual Championship bikes ridden by some of the greatest riders of all time.  Some of these bikes are still in the original condition that they were in when they were retired after their last race.  The hyper-evolution of the 1970's is well represented on this site.  You will hear from the riders themselves, what they thought of their bikes.  What worked, what failed.  You will also hear from the mechanics and engineers who worked on and developed these ultimate bikes. 

   There will be interviews of the factory riders and mechanics.  Many things that were never revealed before will be told now.  Also there will be technical information from the riders and mechanics own files.  Also, visit the photo vault often.  Photos from a collection of over 10,000 photographs will be added frequently.  Many of the riders themselves will share with us,  photos from their own personal archives.  Many of these have never been seen before.  There is a memorabilia section that displays race worn gear, and other miscellaneous items.  Also is the works parts section, there you will see many of the special parts that are in these bikes.  Also there will be many works parts that the factory's experimented with that were tested but never used. 

   If I waited until I put everything on this site, it never would have been completed.  I am starting it with a fair amount of content and will add frequently.  I want to thank Scott Steger and Mark Halloway for helping me build this site.  I especially want to thank all the riders, team managers and mechanics for all their input.  Their eagerness to help was amazing.  I hope you have as much fun looking at this as I did putting it together.
