Step right up - 490 Maico's for sale on Evilpay
« on: June 09, 2009, 12:09:39 pm »
Looks like there are opportunities to get two more Maicos on the race track for those who hanker for a well restored race bike straight up from Ozmaico (you know him Paul  ;) )

Both have had the works and are longing to be blasted around a closed circuit doing what they were designed to do (even if the brakes are 'gentle' in their action)

Ozmaico is known to be a fussy bastard and if any of you have tried building a bike they will know that it costs a shitload to restore or build a bike from scratch - these ones are already finished so go stick some numbers on em and stop saying there are no good bikes out there!

My partner has diabeties and has had a lot of trouble with bleeding in the eyes. If she doesn't keep he blood sugar levels in check she can have a bleed each bleed is more damage to the retina. Paul if your reading this, you MUST check the labels on every piece of processed food you buy(he he that's my job) and look at the sugar content. As Jim said don't ignore it as it won't go away. You just have to be strict.
As for the ebay wags mate they are just having a bit of a laugh and no need to get wound up over it.As with the 'awesome' ct110 that was sold recently the bloke made a point of coing up with a funny smart arse reply. That particular ad was mentioned on at least 10 forums and sold for 10 times it's worth.

Sorry to hear of your's and your wife's health issues. From my wife's comparatively minor issues I know how disruptive and upsetting these issues can be at every level. You are certainly living life at the sharp end at the mo but from the little of know of you from this forum I'm sure you have the wherewithal to get through with style. I wish you and your wife the best of luck.

 
(With or without your probs I would love to relieve you of your Maico's, but unfortunately I'm capitol rich and cash poor at the mo (the unit at Wollstonecraft is proving slow to sell ::)).)
