Great picture I love those old bikes, machines I used to drool over as a kid.

Cool Woodland MX, that track is about 8 miles from my house... I should get back out there again for a practice or race.

Later,

Have to agree on the handling with dirt dame. Nothing turned like a maico..........until i rode the new husky frame that is!

puuuhlease

Maicos and CZs turned like dreams.......I know that, rode em, raced CZs.
but
when you have a photo op like this poor soul........honestly he wasnt a rider with lots of hours under his belt, hows that, it wasnt the maicos fault.
He couldnt decide where he wanted to go!

Maico said fine, when you figure it out, you let me know!!!


Here is 512 back on the rubber......nice Maico.

That there is a '79 450, I raced a '78, both were about the same complete w/6" travel up front and 8" in the rear. And I must agree when your that close to the ground cornering was a dream. I had it all set up w/ Wheelsmith Maico parts. Miss her... sort of.

That is one sweet looking MX track for vintage.....real sweet

Very neat track BUT they cut down all the trees. I see alot of stumps.

yeah and it wasnt the track owners fault

two years ago there was a hostile take over/purchase forced by some construction/developers. Track was dead, couldnt protect themselves.
so....contractors came in and started prepping the area, starting with removing the huge old grown Western Washington trees......
then.....everything fell through, died and the track owners got everything back.
so good eyes...georgous trees are gone, and it was the dirt bikers that were trying to protect and save them.

Yes, Woodland was a beautiful track up until the trees were cut. I have raced there off and on since 1977. I loved the trees and haven't been back since they cut them down. I heard some stupid golfer was going to develop the land and put up condos. I am glad his plan fell through. Stick to hitting golf balls you schmuck!

I raced a 81 Maico 490 and 78 250 "Franken Bike" for a couple years. The fun factor at Woodland was hugh. I decided to try huskys as I had never owned one. Very cool bikes and I am sure they will be equally as fun.
