In the early 70's I had all his photos from t&t and Dirt Bike (us) on my bed room walls , had a thing for Maico's grew out of it . Sad he was good, him and the dentist forgot his name .

Gerrit Wolsink the dentist?!  Sad to hear of Adolfs passing. I grew up winning MX vicariously with these European stars.

Adolph Weil was one of my all time motocross heroes. He might not have won any world titles but he came damn close and there was no one tougher on the GP scene. I'm honoured to have seen him ride........Rest Easy Adolph.
