Title: Adolph Weil R.I.P.
Post by: Paul P on May 19, 2011, 05:39:57 PM

Got word today that Motocross Legend Adolph Weil died last week. Most people on this site may not know who he is, but he was definitely one of the great Gran Prix racers in the late 60's early 70's. He was German National Champion 14 times, and US Trans Am Champion, along with many GP wins and top three GP year end point finishes.
   He also had MX models of the Maico brand named after him as a replica of the machine he modified for the GP's, the AW Maico's in 1976 77. That is something you may never see again with the current state of motocross.
     R.I.P.

If there ever was a Gran Prix star who should have won a world championship it was Adolph Weil.Very sad news.
