Kevin Magee | Part 2 - World class talent & world records

That first ride on a 500cc Grand Prix bike - Kevin Magee remembers it in visceral detail.
Racing in Japan and the mark he made there on the way to what we now know as MotoGP.
Racing for Kenny Robert’s Yamaha including a podium in Portugal. Finally adding his name to that prestigious list of Grand Prix winners on a memorable day in Spain. A frightening cool down lap crash in the late 80’s and the media mistakenly reporting his death at Laguna Seca! He would come back to win races in Superbikes but how tough it was to deal with the premature end of his GP career.
And the remarkable story of helping a blind rider break a world record.This conversation leaves you in no doubt of Magee’s talent but like so many in this brutal sport the tradjectory can change suddenly. Hold on for an incredible ride.
