Jawa was a Czech M/C business back in the day. I think 2-stroke EPA law killed it off in the US market.

Wade likes those
I’m not a fan of street bike in urban Nashville

Very risky transport

He wanted a ktm crossover for high school

We got him a hot rod F250 instead

Everytime I get chest X-rays which is often

They ask WTH happened to your left shoulder

Exactly, he desperately wanted Skoda’s factories.

He should live longer.

Some of my high school pals had high horsepower cars. Z28s, Barracuda hemis, etc, and the lure of speed got them into trouble. I was in the VW set and was only interested in getting there.

No one but you and me noticed the bike is an electric concept.

It is why posting thoughtful columns to FR is typically pointless.

I noticed it was electric, but it would not interest me at all regardless.

I don’t have much use for an -e bike no matter who makes it. Not sure a cafe racer style is my thing either.

I do wish them good luck though, that concept bike doesn’t bode well IMO.

Skoda is also a machine tool manufacturer in Eastern Europe.

I wonder if they are related.
