Hey Guys... I think that you have mis-understood Ford.... he has a wonderful sense of humor. He is a bit frustrated and was trying to state that in a fun way... what is he frustrated about?
Almost every thread on the forum seems to turn into a Maico discussion.
Now I love Maico's.. old ones and new ones... but they are not the answer to everyone prayers.... nor the answer to every question.
At times there have been some incredulous claims about the Maico... I know that some are true.. but some are fantasy as well. While the early 1980's Maicos were legendary (at least to those who loved them) they carry a mystique unparalleled by almost any other brand. But to claim that they are a better choice for Pro Motocross in 2010 is a big stretch. Now if your talking about the M.M.X. that's one thing, but a 1980's bike against the modern ones? It's not possible, no matter how much you love Maico.
Ford was basically calling you Maico guys out because of what I stated above... he is just pulling your chain!!
Have fun and remember they're just dirt bikes... enjoy whichever one you like best. But just because you have a favorite, not everyone has to agree or like yours...
I know it;s hard to believe for your Maico fans, but they don't float everyone's boat. Some of you are starting to sound like born again Christians. So passionate about what you are doing that you actually turn others off to your message. Kick it down a notch or two... okay???
Besides there is no contest to see who can say Maico most in the forum... but let's see how often you can use the word "bent"...
