Diamond Don's MX | '79 Maico 250

[@rcole308]

LOL......at 0.36 when you Center Punch the tree I died laughing because it was exactly something that happens to me. Nonetheless, you got up and rode well. I use to have a 1977 AW 250 Maico with Wheelsmith "everything" including an up pipe and porting by E.C. Birt. Dang I loved that bike. It was so much fun to ride.
