I have been watching your videos about Maicos for years now and you have set me a dream of owning a Maico myself. Thank you for your work and entertainment.

To avoid muscle soreness the next couple of days when going back to lifting after stopping for months, I start with light weights for few days and easy through it.

[@Maicowerk]

Ya, I always liked the soreness. I just keep lifting until it's painful then stop a few days and I never get sore again.

[@paiankur]

Good to hear from you buddy. I might have to come up to OR once you start riding again. Let's do a kick ass ride! Take care buddy!

[@Maicowerk]

Haha, ya! Need to do a ride again it's been a long time!

[@annamorgan123]

Just seen your video on LCDD from 2014. I have a totally parallel story in the UK at exactly the same time. I’ve been transplanted 4 years , after 6 years haemodialysis. I hope like me you continue well and in remission from LCDD.

[@ianmangham4570]

Take it real easy bro,real easy

[@Maicowerk]

Thanks! Ya, doing pretty good now.

[@prep0wer]

call yourself a survival expert

[@prep0wer]

also I've got a samsung 360 gear 2016 camera very recently and it is awesome and it was very cheap

[@Maicowerk]

@@prep0wer Haha! Oh ya, I think I have that one as well. It was a lot better than the Fly360.

[@KaplanCycles]

Can you call me please Toby I want to buy a maiko 700 and I need some advice

[@lynseyprice8039]

Hi Toby nice to c u back just a quick question where can I get a maico 685/700 from I had a490 many years ago I am now looking at let back in to it and would really like a 685/700 so any help with this would be great hope you get back to full strength soon 👍🏻

[@Maicowerk]

Thanks. You can buy one from Koestler in Germany. However you are looking at 17k to 21k total partially given to the USD to EURO conversion.

[@Maicowerk]

for USD that would be the range.

[@lynseyprice8039]

Thanks for that I’m in the UK I am buddy

[@mrbillmacneill]

How are you doing Toby? I recently moved my maicos up to a place called pender harbour here in BC . trails are very close by so thats cool. we get possesion of the suite in may and will be moving shortly after. I have a place to work on the bikes now.

[@Maicowerk]

Nice! Haha, that's an 8 hour drive from me. I'm doing pretty good, even started up the 700 a month back.

[@qstonen]

Great news mate!! Merry Xmas to you and your family!

[@foil666]

Long term illnesses are a shitshow to deal with, but as cheesy as it sounds, the only way to deal with them is to look at them in a rational manner. Things could be better, but they could also be worse. Much worse. I sincerelly wish the best man.

[@Maicowerk]

Thanks!

[@Mr.Potato420]

been thinking of getting a new Maico 685 but I want to know how bad they shake? are they like an old cr500? or better? also, Good luck with your recovery!

[@Maicowerk]

Thanks. 500s don't vibrate. This does vibrate a lot. If any bolt is loose you won't be able to hold on. When it idles you can feel the bones in your fingers rattling on each other.

[@Mr.Potato420]

@@Maicowerk so worse than my dad's old honda cr480? well, I'm used to that so I'm sure I can handle it. wonder if I could get the crank micro balanced to help

[@39impala]

Unrelated question. How does the vibration compare between a maico 490 and 500 versus a cr500?

[@markferguson4255]

Good to see you doing well again. Did your kidney failure occur from Rhabdomyolysis by doing too much exercise?

[@Maicowerk]

Thanks! It occurred from a rare blood cancer.
