Here is a chance for some of you to see some photos of the old factory in Germany from "back in the day."

MXA did plug this site, through Vince at Maico International... it makes a difference in how many people see this site when links are on other sites!!

Thank you MXA!!  ;D

Haha yeah, I saw towards the bottom they actually included a link (Below his shout out to TwoStroke :))

You should be getting hit with quite a few people clicking that link :)

As a side note, I saw them riding a Husa 300 2 stroke this weekend @ Glen Helen (an MXA guy) in the REM open class (not sure which one, I was just riding through the wash and decided to watch a bit).

 Back when I was in high school in the late 70's MXA did an article on the Maico factory, and one of the photos that sticks out in my memory is a photo of a soda machine but it was filled with BEER and they said they could drink beer on the job! I still miss my 1979 Maico 250.

Ah, Germany.

Here's a bunch of cool old Maico pictures, including some good shots of the factory.  Who knows where Toby gets all these things.

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?
