Damn, you think the knobs on that rear tire are gnarly enough?  Seems to me they could be a little bigger.  o.O

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?

That's a 150 Teraflex, barely fits into the swingarm.  He was not happy with it though, essentially the swingarm, chain and rocks just tore those knobies off.

A freind of mine was sponsered by Terreflex. He slid off a fireroad one day and was badly injured, he blames the tire for the incident. It is also interesting to note that he was once a factory Can Am rider long ago.

Can Am was like the Hemi Charger of motocross.  Handling was pretty sub-par, but may God have mercy upon the souls of anyone near you on the straight.

The 78 and up Can Am orange tankers weren't that bad in the handling department. Sure would like to find an SWM for my collection though.
