sdandrea1 That beast was umanageable. It was especially bad to be riding right behind one!
You were riding behind me??? Don't feel bad, practically every one else was too! On some tracks I could start in 3rd gear. Hardly anyone ever beat me to the first turn. I was the Maico dealer for my area. Great company to deal with. When you called them with any questions you usually talked to the racing team manager and mechanic. Try that with the Jap junk of those days. Too bad the Maish family couldn't work it out among themselves after the death of one of the co owners. Great Bikes.
