Yes it is Andy - are you in marketing perchance?

andy120t:
😄 no! When you mentioned the owners club I had to read up on Maicos  as I recognise the scooters but don't know much about them - - never too old to learn, all that sort of thing - but just liked the name of the newsletter when I saw it!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Back in the 1960's all my mates had Lambrettas or Vespas - at that time 200 cc was pretty much the biggest engine for mainstream scooters.
I bought the Maico almost by accident after buying an Ariel Square Four with a chair from Sportarama in Chesterfireld a used Sports Car & motorcycle dealer in the Brocklehirst Motor Group that was only £50. I took the Ariel back the same afternoon I bought it as I was not familar with sidecars it was scary. The steering shook like crazy even with the damper fully tightened down. I could only get my money back if I bought a more expensive purchase so I saw the Maico & was smitten. The motor cycle like ride & performance as it was a 250  was my route to a 250 Dream the following year.
