Hi Pappajoe79. This is Pat Hanlon with Hill Country Motorheads motorcycle museum in Burnet, TX. A few years ago I purchased Harry's 69 Maico 250 from a guy in EP that claimed to be the son of your dad's friend (Richard?). We have started the restoration process and I'm hoping to have it finished by summertime and in the museum...
I bought Arvol's 1975 YZ250A from him several years back. It was sitting out behind his EP house for over 30 years! He's a very nice guy and used to be pretty fast!
I remember when Harry showed up at the track with a 501 Maico and shot a big roost on everyone. I never forgot how bad ass that bike sounded. My brother Mike Hanlon and I once rode over to Harry's on our mini bikes and saw Fred on his Montesa Cappra headed out for a ride. That set the hook...
A few years ago I purchased Harry West's 68 Maico 250mx from a family member and he sent me this photo of Harry's shop from the 60's, which was located on Dyer St.
