 I did not know that Magoo had ridden for Kawasaki until I saw this video clip . I thought that he had his career ending injury at the Paris supercross on a KTM .

Great video - world class riders on a world class circuit. Love the action. Interesting to compare the riding styles, advantages and diadvantages, and the tactics of the 'cut and thrust'. Pity I can't understand French ::).

when magoo came to europe in 85 he lived about 5 miles from me, he started the season as team mates with jem whatley and dave grant as manager.  after beacaire kaw europes boss alec wright told grant magoo he could not beat jobe or the factory help would be withdrawn from his team. grant told magoo and magoo jumped ship to KTM.  Kawasaki were going to re sign magoo for the 86 GP 500 season but he was tragicly injured on a private kawasaki at bercy.
