    Is there a tutorial of how to put the video in the post, so it will play here? I see that others do it.

    can't let this fall of the first page in favor of airhead oil threads and "how much is this worth" threads....

    This followed me home today- it's only 16 years old so it may not qualify as vintage yet, but I'm really looking forward to making it sing next summer.

    What a peaceful and charming video mike, loved the MAR's haunting exhaust note, the fact the bike wasn't flogged and the decent elevation changes / scenery ! :thumb

    Still haven't decided if I'm going to bastardize this thing like I planned on,
    or if I should start with a shittier example and sell this one to someone who is looking for an original.

    I used to see the 3 cyl Maico at Mid Ohio each year, heard the fella that owns it passed
    away a year or so ago.

    Here is is ribbing John Penton a bit, I never really knew him but I appreciated his dry sense
    of humour!

    Hey guys,

    I think if we had an overwhelming amount of 2 stroke threads or there weren't other, better places for that information around the web, we'd look at a 2 stroke forum.

    When we've had "split the forum" discussions, even one to segregate airheads, there's always been a strong desire to keep all the communities together in one place. I think that's prudent for 2 strokes, as well. A single community seems to provide some cool cross pollination across the marques.

    But, in the meanwhile, keep those awesome shots coming.

    Thanks!
