Title: maico owners
Post by: paul on March 28, 2008, 10:18:39 pm
early this year i bought url   www.maico.com.au .with the intension off asking maico owners in australia and  maybee overseas to submit there name and bike pics so they can all go up on the site  .so any maico owners send in what  bikes you want to display +plus a bit of info and i will get the web designer in the other room to get to work on the site  any input would be helpfull  the web site has not been  hosted yet  so it depends on how much stuff i get . it could also be maico project /for sale /parts etc etc. paul

Great idea Paul; what size photos are you after?
Too many responses might clog your box.

rossco no hand shake  we have cruise missiles ,on a serious note just send good quality pics and some info name model capacity etc  each person will have there own listing that can be added to as they get more bikes ,if that what they do

Paul, I have many photos of 'Maicos in action' so to speak.
They're not my Maicos - but they're reasonable photos of others in the pits and racing.
Are you interested in this sort of input or just our own personal bikes.
These reduced shots are typical (be warned I think Brads head is lurking in the #31 photo):

That's a good lookin' page you have there Paul.
I notice the expansion joint in the brickwork sits juuuust at the tip of the silencer.
Is this a subliminal link to the noise debate in the 'Decibels' thread?

The tip of the silencer being symbolic of the tip of the 'decibels' iceberg?
A larger silencer would cover that expansion joint; symbolic of enforced larger silencers preventing the expansion of the sport? Covering over and burying the concerns of the Riders?

Sorry Paul, all respect to your new and brilliant idea for your webpage.
I've just read the latest installments in the 'Decibels' thread and I'm so f*ckin' angry I feel like punching someone.

Paul....Here's some photos of my Maicos current and from the past that you may want to use.
My 350 Square barrel
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1062154/sq5.JPG)
The infamous Pink Maico at Mt Kembla. Sold in the late 90s and now fully restored
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1062154/[email protected])
The Pink Maico440 and it's equally tasteful fluro orange 250 brother. The 250 was also sold and later destroyed in a garage fire. It was a very quick bike for a 250.
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1062154/[email protected])
'77 AW400 sold a few years ago
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1062154/aw4002.JPG)
