When talking Pre-60 Legal Maico mounts, it is the Blizzard based models that make the cut.

Thank you to those that have gone out of their way to contribute pictures and other info, every shred of data is helping, Cheers.

In the 50's all sorts of blizzard born configurations appeared at local German Motocross tracks.

Originally campaigned in events by some privateers.


The first dedicated x1 Maico frame was born when the Maicsh Brothers got serious about supporting Motocross.



I would be great, If anyone has anymore images of this bike or any links to any accompanying text. Doesn't matter if it is in German.


It seams obvious and reasonable to suspect that the X1 Frames were produced predominately from the same tube bending dies, jigs and designs of Blizzard.

Indeed these were still referred to as Blizzards, although these X1 frames were dedicated factory born MXers.


PS; hows the noggin Firko?

The swellings gone down a bit but it must be still noticeable, This afternoon I was doing the supermarket shopping and the little checkout chick asked me if I'd forgotten to duck
I feel like Dagwood Bumstead after Blondie hit him over the head with a rolling pin :'(.

Dave, it maybe as simple as

 "accidentally, you have just put all of the above posts in the wrong thread"

then again the question begs "or was it intentional?"
