I think Danny Chandler deserves his own album. 

We don't know the last private days on this planet for Magoo.But what a 'FUN' 'Positive' guy he was for the sport through his life, even while coaching in the wheelchair.

Oops-Yep thats Trevor Williams on Green with the team

Flyin Mike Brown was actually a minicycle super-star in the era of Brian Myerscough and Jeff Ward, he got hurt attempting a distance jump after his mx career finished.

The Flying Zeroes on his number plates were amazingly cool to a thirteen y.o. kid reading Minicycle magazine at the school library.  And he raced an Indian!   Looking at those magazines also gave me a lust crush on Sue Fish...Grrrrrrrrrrowl

If one individual defined motocross, it was Magoo. Heart of a tiger.

This is still my all time favourite MX shot, and best of all, my Father took it...

Good shot Tony, the subject's a fairly decent handler too. How's the old man going mate?

He's doing ok - was supposed to have an aftermarket knee upgrade fitted this morning, but the hospital postponed at the last minute.  (as he was being wheeled down to surgery!)   

So looks like it'll be next week or the week after..

Poor bugger's been hanging to ride the KDX400 I got for him, but can't until the knee's been done...   Oh well, he'll just have to wait an extra couple of weeks..

That exact same thing happened to me in 2011 while being wheeled in for my ankle fusion surgery. A nurse spotted an open wound scratch on my shin and they cancelled because of the possibility of me catching Golden Staph infection. Six months later and totally scratch free I had the operation and promptly got Golden Staph anyway . I too am waiting for my knee replacement so he and I are blood almost brothers .

i recently had a knee op and wondered why the pre-op nurses keep looking at a very tiny small graze i had on my knee.
i now know how lucky i was to get done.
