Danny "Magoo" Chandler Tribute

[@canarc1]

In his prime, the fastest rider ever on a dirt bike. WFO on a 500 like no other, madman. God speed brother.

[@reezin14]

The first JS7 IMO. Imagine if he where riding the bikes today... RIP Magoo.

I have seen _and was in touch _with Danny Chandler when He came in Genova, Italia for an Indoor MX back in 1982 (#34), 1983 and in 1985 _ just one week before the accident He had in Paris. He was a good, honest Man and a great Guy. I personally think that He didn't know about having "half measures", while racing and riding, a real"larger than life Person ". I still remember that Mr. Roger De Coster (Honda Team Manager at that time) said about" Magoo":"sometimes He worries me..." I did remember that, on His last visit to the Genova's Italian Indoor MX, 1985, Broc Glover did a joke with "Magoo", Broc put one of His foot in Magoo 's feet while walking , making Him almost stepping His toes (sometimes Magoo walked around just like the real cartoon' character). Magoo was riding a KX and seemed almost different from the Chandler back in 1982, He seemed as He had a calmer attitude but also seemed not very satisfied after the race. (I remember, in an1982 Genova MX pre_race day, He and Danny Laporte _fresh of His 250 cc. WC Victory and having backside jumps(!) while on the hills created for making the jumps). For me, in one word :Fantastic 👍. Sometimes, life is not right, He deserved to live longer and longer. I miss Him ❤️. Un Caro ricordo, Antonello, Genova, Italia.

The friendliest and most down to earth guy you'll meet too

[@brucefile7430]

Awesome tribute to the one and only Magoo! I remember seeing him for the first time in 1979 at a Colorado outdoor national. Full throttle cornering with his feet on the pegs and the front tire slightly in the air. That was the year he gave Hannah a run for his money at saddleback park. The riders of today should go back and watch the 1982 superbikers to see what it looks like to ride at 110%. There will never be another one like him...

[@big_mike_nyc]

The f’ing LEGEND this man rode like it was his last time, EVERY TIME!

[@gdv4612]

Well said brother

[@chayes954r]

Rest in Peace Danny, you were a HUGE inspiration for me!! You are not forgotten!!

[@jmackenroth]

He knew how to get the most out of a machine. Never forgot the time I saw him lap everyone, including second place, at Prarie City in Sacramento. He was using the fence posts for berms and his Maico was wide open the entire way around the track. In a class of his own.

[@chrislollich525]

I was a that race! Thanks from NOR-CAL.

[@chrispynov1963]

Growing up in foresthill in the 70s and 80s i got to ride with him a handful of times. Sonia (lil red) still lives in their house in Michigan Bluff. Miss you Danny

[@clintperry799]

[@trutheye1]

What an inspiration to me Danny was, growing up watching him ride. Such a sad story but the guy hung it out like no one before or since. There will never be another Danny Magoo Chandler. I wish he was still here.

[@timoneill8283]

[@marcelomartinez4240]

[@robgrossen3905]

One of the greats of motocross and a true legend and hero

[@johnvanwyck5829]

He was amazing to watch...

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

One BadMoFofersure and a super nice guy to this young punk at Red Bud 82'. You and Schu made my weekend👍👍

[@cliff2011]

What a passionately well thought tribute to a true eternal legend of the sport who gave all every time. He knew no other way. A total natural. With Chandler the words fast, fearless, unique and skillful all come to mind.

[@davewalker8850]

I have a what I believe pretty unique story. I had broken my ankle in 95. The year id finally been able to buy used 85 cr250. I was rebuilding it. I'd gotten on city buss to go get a part. I noticed a guy in electric wheelchair. I' believe he'd asked what had happened to my leg. But remember he was about the friendliest guy. He made comment if I 9nly knew how far he was heading in his wheelchair. At the time I had no clue who he was but later found out. I'm assuming he was heading towards forest hill. I just thought very unique for years id thought he was crippled on 85 crippled 250. Later found out actually kawasaki. Just the way I was getting parts broken leg on city bus meeting him and how he left impression before I even learned who he was.

[@ilovemyplayfulcat320]

When he was on he was taking everything!!

[@vicentemena947]
