down right disrespectfull lozza

Your a bit of a dill Paul , the funny B in German is a double s sound in English would be Gruss/Grusse which means Greetings which is how most of the people I know in Germany start written communications.

[Mick D]

I think Paul might have been having ein Witz Lozza.

... how most of the people I know in Germany start written communications.

you're right Lozza, but it's used for ending written communications.

Gruß Frank 


PS: Moin Marcus, bald können wir hier ein ORF-Brett aufmachen.

........ Also, what exactly is a WaBeHa.....is it an aftermarket frame made by Fritz Betzelbacher? I've heard of them but never seen one. If it is I want one .

Yes, WaBeHa means Walz, Betzelbacher und Hauger. They have worked and raced for Maico until 1962/63 and have always used approved or selfmade frames.
After they created a 360ccm engine based on the 250ccm oval barrel, with a very light double tube frame, Otto Maisch was interested in their ideas for the Maico production ! But the department which makes the constructions was not amused about that and decided to make their own creation, the X3 was born  .
So the three specialists decided to cancel the work for Maico and make their own business with dirt bikes, using engines from Montesa ........ to be continued

I have such kind of tank for sale if you are interested in:

Hi Marcus, If you mean the gold tank I'll take it. PM me the price, shipping cost and how you like to be paid (paypal?).

Yes, WaBeHa means Walz, Betzelbacher und Hauger. They have worked and raced for Maico until 1962/63 and have always used approved or selfmade frames. 

I too love "selfmade" frames. Do WeBeHa frames come up for sale very often? I'd be very interested in owning one. Do you have any pictures of the yellow Maico Metisse that you could post here? I'm very interested in some aspects of what he's done, even though I'm using a slightly different Metisse frame.

[Mick D]

Yeah, sure you did mate. Sure you did

I have only seen 3 WaBeHa frames in my Live: 1x MotoCross changed into GS (Maico), 1x Montesa and mine!
Here you can see Otto Walz in the Austrian GP 1962, riding for Maico in the 500ccm class ! This Maico has a Ceriani fork and a frame build by Walz/Betzelbacher as "Worksrider" .







And that's the Bike they build in 1964, a real 500ccm 2 stroke gun, based on a PUCH engine    !


And this is my frame, but for Maico engine, so i think it's from 1963 before Walz and friends breake mith Maico..

Do you have any pictures of the yellow Maico Metisse that you could post here? I'm very interested in some aspects of what he's done, even though I'm using a slightly different Metisse frame.

Yes, i will post them later

Maico Mac your fine knowledge of the marque is probably being missed by other interested VMXers on this thread, could you please continue or start a new one in the Maico thread section? Cheers mate Tim754
