I got mine yesterday.......as usual a good balance of bikes covering most of the classic off road scene. The SWM flat tracker is a two wheeled Gina Lolabrigida and Norberts Maico collection and the German Motorcycle Museum collection have the Maico range pretty well covered. For the hot rodders there's a very cool C&J Honda and the pre 65 boyos will be happy with the Dot coverbike.
Despite the great balance there will still be the odd punter who'll whinge because there's not enough of their particular passion but I reckon he'd be in the minority. If this issue doesn't ring your bell, nothing will 8).

I have to say that Aussie post seems to be getting slower and slower in delivering the Australian magazines.  The worst part is that there is nothing we can do about it.  >:(

The two features with Maicos in them are fantastic. The feature on the 1979 works 250 does raises a question from me. Why did Maico make the 1980 model the way they did? Why didn't they just up grade the 79 models to the same as the works bikes, that would have been a better bike. What were the 1980 works bikes like? 

I'll have to make a rear brake lever like the works ones. They look trick.
