Default Jawa Cycles

Is anyone here familiar with classic Jawa cycles? The first one is mine. I have most of the parts. The other two are very similar to what mine is supposed to look like.

Man does that bring back old memories...!

When I was 13-14 I was almost 6ft tall and wanted to earn enough money to get a motorbike. I went to work around the corner from my home at Evan-Rose motorcycles uncrating Jawa bikes like those and putting the front wheel and other parts on it so that they could roll them onto the showroom floor.

Great life experience hanging around there at that age. I will never forget one of the the mechanics always drank his pepsi by poring it in the side of his mouth. His name was AC Saint. Funny how you can remember something like that 45 years ago and yet could not tell you what I had for dinner two days ago.

They had a Vincent Black-Shadow that I was enamored with. At that time it was considered the fastest bike around.

Check out this site: http://home1.gte.net/jawaman/
They were very competitive in off roading back in the '60's.
Very cool bike if you can find the parts.

Thanks for your interest. I checked the link provided here and links obtained in other forums. I may have found some parts sources. I'll post progress on my website.

Are these similar to something called a 'Mustang' motorcycle? When I went to Nashville to buy my deuce, the seller had a Mustang motorcycle in his breakfast nook!
