Title: Magoo on a KTM
Post by: tomale on February 22, 2010, 11:49:52 PM
Last night I was checking out the Magoo web site, looking at some of the pictures, now Magoo has ridden several different bikes which include a Villa what a monster of a bike... lots of HP but not sure it handled all that well, but if I am right, there was a picture of Danny on a 76 MC5 125 how cool is that....

I could be wrong but I think Magoo was sporting a Penton ride early on.

I think so too... I raced alot of the same tracks that Danny did, before he got famous. and I seem to remember he rode several 125's that he rode... I even think he rode a early YZ 125 for awhile....I never races a 125 but once... by the time I started racing, I was already too big for the 125 class...(180lb)

Danny, definitely rode a Penton for awhile.I thought there were pictures on this site last year or the year before.

You can rent the story of his life from Netflix and there are some shots of him racing the 125 MC-5 and also him racing a 72 or 73 six day from earlier. I think there was a shot of him sitting with his dad on a steel tanker in the video also, if Im thinking of the right video.
