1982 Maico 490 Resto

-
I dont know why it plays for some but not others . It is a Facebook link so maybe that has something to do with it ?
 
I seldom go on it but there is a Maico group I joined.
I’ve thought about that for some of the groups that are on there, but I really don’t like that place even though I’ve never been on it.
 
Race day is here ! 6:30 am and already a line of rigs waiting to get in .
Got some practice rides in over the last few weeks .

Finally checked out this thread on my laptop, the videos work! Love the deep sound of that two stroke!
 
Broke 2 bikes yesterday .
The Maico somehow ate its kickstarter during practice and locked up hard .
Holed a piston in a 78 RM250 ...should have paid closer attention to jetting and/or octane. It was a new "to us" bike and seemed to be running tight .

Jim snapped both shocks off one of his Maicos after landing a jump ! His bikes are amazing !
He is in his 70s and still going strong ...
 
Jubel Brown kicking some *** on one of his 74 CZ's....He is outrunning all the Evolution bikes in this moto .
This guy is fast and smooth !
I first met him at the Idaho City 100 around 2011. He was 6" tall and racing a little CRF150. All my friends were telling me how thet got passed by a "MINI BIKE" ! He was 21.... Rode GNCC expert level.
