Nice bikes you have.

I personally prefer the older ones, where even riding with 90 km/h feels dangerous.

My first big bike, a "Jawa 500 OHC" from 1954. On my first long ride on a vintage ralley (800km) the engine shaked so much that I lost a 13cm long bolt from the engine attachment and couldn't even hold an empty glass in my hand.

But now after a new balancing of the crankshaft it feels really nice to ride that twin-engine.

At the moment I restore a "NSU 501T" from 1929. It's a 500ccm one-cylinder 4-stroke engine.

I hope it will be ready next year. Some parts look really horrible.
