Date Sept 15 1966

 Weather clear and sunny.

Time 4:40 PM

 Bike.........CZ 175....speed...50 Mph

 

THE PROBLEM...!!!!!!!!!!

 A Big truck had went thru the esses spreading gravel all over

the first bend...no right turn allowed on a bed of marbles..!!!!!!

 OK straight off the road we go skimming over a puddle into the

tall grass right into a Large rock imbedded in the ground like a

iceburg....the bike stopped...I didn't, I remember bouncing three

times and landing against a tree.

 

THE BIG OOOUCH

 Result...total dislocation of my right shoulder and a pretty good

bend in the front forks..can not drive this thing home...lucky for

me....... a guy in a rambler saw me in flight and took me to the 

hospital.

 

The repair.....

 OK, the forks are bent.....so rotate them out so the bike looks

like Y from the front and lock them in place...get every clamp

you can get your hands on and slowly return the forks to an

acceptable shape...this works if you leave them clamped on

long enough.She ran great for the next two years...until..!!!!!

 

I HADDA UPGRADE....!!!

 Next step...buy a 350 CC Jawa...I tell Ya it will outlast any

 KAWA SUZU YAMA HA  HA HA.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
