Typical Maico people-Hoch Deutch arrogance if you ask me

[Simo63]

Hallelujah......I've been depressed all day after thinking I'd missed out on the motor. When I didn't hear back I went into plans A B &C but there it was...plan A worked all along! No email yet mate, if you used the email address on my profile it's no longer in operation. I'll PM you my regular email address.

And thanks so much to my good mate Paul, for without his eagle eye, this bargain might have slipped through my grasp.  To you Paul, I say thank you and god bless

There you go .. fixed for you and Paul

oh thanks for finding that on ebay paul Roll Eyes your welcome

Yep thank you Paul and as much as you need credit, I have to tell you that another mate passed it on to me at almost the same time you posted it so you two fight out for the brownie points. Jeez...........

  That was quick !! I borrow a roller and someone throws a motor in it..fast resto and the magic of VMX. 

Healthy looking paddock/field~What does she skoot around like ?
cheers a

Amazing what can be done on a computer isn't it??
Tracked down the original engine, sat in a go-kart, so I bought the thing and put the engine back, start and runs fine, although it won't fool anyone into thinking its more than a 175.....

Nice with the engine Mark!

Damm straight alright you've gone and done it now, the shinny-er it gets, the more it will be going up now

Yeah I realised that Paul . I've been hunting one of these for years so I had to go to the extreme to get it because they just don't come up every day. Doug (Flying DG) has been terrific, it's great to know that there are folks like him out there who'll help a total stranger and trust that I'll pay him. Even though I've thanked Doug privately, I'd like to publicly thank him for his mighty gesture. Of course if there's anything I can do for him do in return he just has to ask.

Below is Karl Landrus' 57 model 250 Maico. My motor is similar but 9 years newer (and a 360!). Mine will be used for pre 65 but the frame remains unknown right now. I suppose I should have bought Daves Sprite now

magnifcent.  Check out the stand, even that looks beautifully crafted.  It's all about the details and that bike is dripping in them.....

[firko]

Yeah Ben, Karl's a pretty impressive craftsman. That bike is as trick as shit yet still looks 'of the period'.
Here's his website.....check out the stuff he makes. http://www.klpracing.com/

That's a nice unit.Haven't I seen it for sale on Mark's?Wasn't as expensive as it looks from memory.

[Maicojames]

Firko you can still e-mail me-and that goes for Paul and others as well if you need to buy something "US only"-. [email protected]. Be well-and I am jealous of that engine.LOL
