The wild magoo was Danny Chandler. He rode on the edge, fast and loose so he would wreck hard like Mr Magoo. I’d like to see him race James Stewart in his prime.

‘82 or ‘83. In a 500cc race he had to go backwards on a hill to get going. The hill had three step ups and he wasn’t the only rider to ride backwards direction down the hill. He was the only one penalized for it. He said it cost him the class championship that year. So in protest he rode the 250cc across the finish line the right direction but sitting backwards.
