Dragged this magnificent, underrated marvel of Czech engineering out of the shed.
It's not been on the road for 30 years.
I walked round it, searching for inspiration.
But found none.
So dragged it back into the shed.
I'm surprised more of these didn't get snapped up as a means to building a cheap caff. Bones and lines are there to make a pretty reasonable one cheaply.It's not been on the road for 30 years.

I am a bit to old to wrestle with clip-ons and rear sets, but I think it could be made into a nice street scrambler. A bit like the factory 350 Californian of the late 1960s....
Near Nurburg, Germany.
First bike tour, first time riding in Europe, first time at the Nurburgring, spent the first 3 days building up the balls to go on, went to get a ticket and the track was closed due to 3 crashes including 2 bikes. Next year it is!
Touring on a speed triple wasn't as bad as I thought

There are some really good roads in the vicinity of the 'ring, i ended up going to Cochem for an afternoon on my last trip.
I've done a few laps in my time only about 30% of them have been in the dry, none with track tyres on, had loads of closures which is usual for TF I suppose. I love the place but would have no interest in doing it on 2 wheels, a bit too risky for me.

How on earth can you comfortably ride with a tank bag like that?
Chin & chest rest 
It actually only goes up to halfway of my torso, Little too high for a chest rest but can rest you're chin quite comfortably

We done a route through cochem, nice area and the roads were amazing but my favourite routes were around the eifel region, couldn't believe how sharp some of the hairpins were!
