His name is Dave, I keep him next to my 2011 Maico.

If I get an 012 Maico from Koestler do I get the unicorn? What do they eat?

Seriously Ford,are you some kind of Maico groundhog,popping out of your hole every so often to antagonize the faithful?

I think I'll start WW 3 by asking this but what exactly happened to the Maicos? They dominated MX and enduro in the 70s and 80s didn't they? Wasn't it a huge legal dispute over who owns it?

The Maico groundhog.

Stu - Go to superhunky.com and poke around a bit, he has a couple articles that go into the soap opera that was Maico in the early '80's, it would take waaaay to long to tell the story here....

the Maico groundhog should be sitting on a YZ....

Would have to reset the sag for that...

Hey Sachs,you mess with Dave,you'll get the horn

As for me,it's something like this....

You Maico types all deserve it though,for the first year or better of this site,many were insufferable.Any topic at all would eventually be turned into a Maico love thread.It used to go something like this......

Post: Hey,I just got a new CR!
Answer: Red,eh?Have you ever noticed how much nicer Maico red is?

Post: Just brought home my new KTM250SX!
Answer: Congrats but did you know the '83 Maico is a better machine in every way?

Post: Finally!I've just discovered a cure for cancer and have managed to achieve World Peace.
Answer: That's great but you do realize Herr Maico did those things first but due to a huge mysterious conspiracy at Maico inc.,he never got a chance to implement them.

And so on............you guys deserve to take the sh!t now-those that were man enough to stay here and take it anyway.

BTW,thanks for the new avatar TMKIWI

"Maico Breako"
Maico deleted me off their facebook ha.

Hey Ford,how can you knock us for being passionate about a marque that,against seemingly insurmountable obstacles,changed the face of the industry?

P.S. The avatar is a classic!
