Josef Kubišta reports about last weekend's international belt drive motorcycle meeting. The event was organised to celebrate the 100 years anniversary of the founding of FIM (International Motorcycle Federation) in Pacov, Bohemia 1906 (when also the first motorcycle race of Czechoslovakia was organised: visit Pacov). "I did start my belt driven Torpedo only on Friday, see the guy in workshop overall, it is me. To the meeting came lots of Laurin & Klement (1 replica of 4 cylinder), Torpedo, Walter (all 3 were Czech or Austro Hungarian machines), NSU, Puch, some Indian, and lots of rare makes. People from Hungary, Germany, Austria, Slovenia have come to show their bikes, the weather was 100% perfect and organisation by Libor Marcik faultless. "
