Both my sons from the 1st marriage weren’t interested in bikes. Me 2nd wife’s daughter secretly got interested after her girlfriends rode off into the sunset during lockdown that she decided to take her full bike test. After that she bought a 2011 Honda Cbr600f which back then were made in Italy. Nobody expected or thought she would become a motorcyclist and I got pleasantly surprised. Been riding all my life, thanks for taking us through your land, Big hugs from Düsseldorf Sher 😎

I grew up in Western Canada and got my m/c license at age 14 back in 1969. I was bike crazy and motorcycles have been a major part of my life right up until the present. So many pleasant memories and your vlog triggered many of them. We never saw any Jawas in my neck of the woods back then but I fondly remember the Suzuki 250 Hustler and 500 Titan 2 stroke twins. They were fast machines in their day. As the smell of 2 stroke oil in the morning! 🇨🇦

hello from Slovakia, but born in Czechoslovakia. From my childhood memories from 80s I just remember these two stroke motorcycles: Jawa-s or CZs, there were no other bikes, so this special twostroke engine sound (and smell as well) is tightly bound with motorcycles in my mind. I like those stright flat roads in your country, we have winding roads with lot of curves and switchbacks with up and downhills everyhwere so I have to ride much more carefuly
@Apollo949Ай бұрын

I'm glad you found yourself. Your enthusiasm spills out of your videos - greatly appreciated. My father also rode motorcycles - during the Second World War he was a Canadian sergeant unloading ships in England. He took a Harley and rode it for 18 months. When it was worn out he "found" it and turned it back to the Americans. I owned many bikes - now my balance is gone & I have to experience them through you & others descriptions of the joy of riding. Thnx & carry on!

Hi all, nice video again, thanks a lot :) ČZ 350 was intended only to be exported especialy to former USSR, it has never been sold in Czechoslovakia (officially), they say CZ 350 used to be the best ever produced motorcycle in Czech. Just a fun fact - ČZ is an abbreviation of Československá Zbrojovka (which means Czechoslovak Armory) - company from Strakonice which not only produced motorcycles but mainly guns.

Čezet motorcycles were made in a factory named Česká zborojovka in Strakonice. Jawa bikes were made in Tynec nad Sazavou and Prague. But they shared some components. For example this Čezet 350 had the same engine like Jawa 350/634.

Was so much fun back in 1989-1992 time frame. We had a couple of friends with Chezets and parts were definitely interchangeable.

That took me back. My dad had motorcycles when he was young, but did the usual and gave it up when I was born. Then when I was 9 he bought a motorcycle to get to and from work, a CZ 250. I thought he was the coolest dad, he had a motorcycle and none of my friends' dads did. Sadly he sold it a couple of years later, he'd had enough of riding in the depths of winter, so I never got to do anything more than sit on the back. Years later when I bought my first motorcycle we swapped roles, I took him for a ride and he sat on the back making whooping noises.

I could never kick the eastern european bikes with a left kickstart. I had to stand alongside and use my right foot. Mainly MZ's Apart from the CZ kickstart also being the gear lever did it not also act as a clutch if required? They were quite heavy bikes being solidly built and the stands were not great but the usual method was to actually put your full weight downwards on the stand lever and at the same time lift the bike vertically. Not sure if it was possible on the CZ but I noticed you struggling by pulling it backwards? I never had one so ignore that advice if it doesn't work.
