Rotary valve Maico. I remember a guy coming out on one of the early 125 Maico's to ride with us in the foothills of Bakersfield. It was brand new. Within two hours the flywheel side of the crank broke off. Took off the cover and the flywheel/crank end dropped into the dirt.

Bad picture, but if you look closely, I believe that is Bobby in front of the #1 of Tony D.

Yeah, I was there. The only problem was it was the Trans AMA and earlier that year Ake lost the GP World Championship ~ probably his best shot ~ because his Maico spit a plug.

Love Maicos, loved mine.

I ve always wondered if Ake's mechanic forgot to tighten the sparkplug,or did some sneaky japanese guy loosen it when no one was looking.....
