I'm going off topic here, but has anyone ever ridden one of the old CZ motocross bikes? I remember seeing them in Dirt Bike magazine when I was growing up ("back in the day"!).

I haven't ridden a CZ motocross bike. My buddy in high school had one. It was a twin port model with two exhaust pipes. CZ machines would win if the rider was strong enough to force the machine around the track. When long travel suspension became the thing to have, many small manufacturers just didn't have the resources to keep up. MAICO did well with their long travel setup. Penton/KTM and Husky were able to get by.

I bought a brand new ISDT JAWA 350. Interesting bike with a right side forward kickstarter. One piece engine casting; the crank assembly came out the left side. The gearbox cluster came out the right side. Top gear was a transit gear that was way high. Had to be almost wound out in 4th to get into 5th.

My Sheldon lathe is belt drive probably 50s. Wouldn't be without it even if it is pretty rubbish. Matches my skill with it.

Yes, that crossed my mind but I suppose I could do that at a local level meaning inside greece or the balkans maybe. the cost of the cover itself would be close to that of a recluse one though, it takes time and effort and I got a shop to maintain! I could post that in a greek dirtbike forum and see if anybody's interested...
