    The 70’s was an amazing time to be growing up reading dirt bike magazine and dreaming about bikes like this.

      Yep, why I'm watching. Read Dirt Bike magazine in the early 80's in the school library.

    You are spot on about going for something if you want it. Work hard every day apppreciating your family and tell them you love them. Lost my Grandad in october and im so thankful of the time I got to share with him. He was a great man! A member of the northeast scooter 2 stroke club through the 60's in the uk and his love for bikes got passed on to my Dad and then to me!

    In my opinion those were the best years. Not only because I lived them but I think the jumps are too insane in motocross racing today

    You always have the coolest cycles on your channel! Gorgeous works of art. I had a friend back in the day who had a 1978 400 Maico that I got to try out. Super easy bike to ride. Very smooth power delivery, yet tons of power.

  • @bgjb-r1499
    @bgjb-r1499 2 года назад

    That’s a stunning bike. Man oh man does it bring back great memories. There was a guy who owned a mid 70’s Maico 440 (I think is was yellow). A fast bike yes but also a bit temperamental. During those days we rode to the dirt pits, so if your bike broke down it was a 3 mile push home.

  • @MM_in_Havasu
    @MM_in_Havasu 2 года назад

    Damn, that brings back memories of the early 70's and the old square barrel Maico 250 that we used to ride the crap out of, that thing was a fast bike for its time and actually handled 1/2 ass decent back then.

    My second dirt bike was a yellow, late 60s 360 set up for desert racing. It had a oversize fiberglass tank. It had short travel suspension but handled better than l expected it to. It would beat you up though.
