Saw this bike in village Selec, 5 km upstream from my grandparents´ house. I recollect the freedom this apparition gave me, my first pub-dances, and my first drunk-driving.
It was a bitch to remove all that superlfuous fairing, and even harder to put it back - always few screws short. But for 1960-ties it was great design. One must not forget that till that year - 1963 - Cezchoslovakia made 65% of world´s bikes! Then the Japanese started, today it´s the Indians and Japanes making millions of two-wheelers...
