…the info may not change anything but we all move forward happier and smarter knowing what is behind us.

good to know it will end somewhere  ;)

After picking up my wife we than had fish and chips.
After dinner I feel a sleep
Saturday I went to pick up a new boat which took all day.
They tell you new boats are ready to go on the water, NO WAY !
After getting home we had to put the trailer rego sticker on, place the harbor and marine boat rego stickers on, connect the anchor rope, install the bungs, setup the battery, set up the fuel tank and hose, setup the lights on the trailer, fit the engine leg support, ratchet tie down the boat to the trailer, adjust the toe ball socket................
I feel a sleep after dinner Saturday night.
Sunday we had to take the boat out on its maiden voyage and we did not get back until 7.00pm.
By the time we cleaned and put everything away I feel a sleep after dinner for the third night in a row.

The world has waited 30 years for this information I doubt it will become out of date ever.

With in a few days of this data being placed on Graeme's forum it will be copied and pasted to every VMX forum around the world. Those that will copy this information will become Maico experts in minutes.

Others say this data will not change anything but as Darcy stated knowing what metal has been used will help.

This is a significant moment in MX history and should not be rushed.
That is why Les and member "........." should be properly thanked before its release.

Well that just proved my point.
Some members will just copy and past others work for their own gain.

Not really.
Do you know what the metal is?
Why are you checking in here, is it to find out the answer?

This is not like jetting or shock spring weights that have been discussed to death on every MX forum since the internet started.

What magazine has published this info?

Would most members here and others around the world pay $10.00 for a magazine that published this data.
Take a look at most MX magazines and tell me what they tell their readers about their bikes that will actually help them, especially Vintage bikes.
VMX magazine article on CZ400 told their readers that a 30 year old frame was to dangerous so they purchased a new after market frame, NO HELPFUL HINTZ unless you got $10 000.00 to spend on a frame. The reference to VMX magazine is not an attack on this fine magazine just an illustration on tips to help restore an old frame.
