This is a blog maintained by David Arnold (a.k.a. Mr. Murdo and Dave Skooter-Farm) I have set this blog up as an online shoebox. It's somewhere I can put junk of interest to me, write down my thoughts, post old photos and maybe share my ideas and let people know what gets my motor running. Also a site which tracks the activities of SKOOTER FARM DIRT TRACK RACING.

Czech Coolness..... part one
60's Czechoslovakia is my new Utopia!!
Here's some groovy ads for the city runaround MZ ETS 250cc.
This was the first road bike I owned. It was actually registered on the log book as a 125cc and I rode it on L-plates and even took my test on it.....folks used to say "that's pretty quick for a 125!".....that's because it was a 250...
Any blog (or person) that uses the line '60s Czechoslovakia is my new Utopia' is right up there in my all-time favourites. Dave, you are a true inspiration. I salute you. G
ReplyDeleteDunno if I'm missing something, but MZ were East German. CZ and Jawa were/are Czech. G
ReplyDeleteTechnically...yes East German!...however, I stumbled upon them, whilst checking out 60's Czech music stuff and I believe, they are listed on YouTube in the CZech language.......I bet MZ's, Cossacks and Zundaps were everywhere during the sixties...
