If you don't fall off you are not going hard enough

Awesome video, could you imagine a 450F trying to compete in that. Magoo was one of the best there was... where's the finish line jump  ::)

I like how they say it's a "true" world championship series, and then list races in Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe, North America, Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe, and even Europe.  Spanning the globe on that one there boys, spanning the globe.

Gotta love Chandler though, you could really see his riding style being more "out there" than the other riders.


Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I have to admit I thought the title meant Dave Coombs, LOL. I was expecting a Black Water 100 video  :D

I have seen this one before but still watched the whole thing. I was always a Magoo fan and I still like the '85 KTM's. I'll just never own one due to lack of parts availability. I had a 1986 KTM250 and I ended up giving it away because I couldn't get electrical parts unless I went PVL and I didn't have $400 at the time.

Well jetz you guys seem to be ok with calling alot of your sport comp's 'World Championship "
Not sure if you know but there is quite a few different countrys in "Europe"
