The second edition of this unique publication supplements and clarifies some previously published facts about the history and technical parameters of this small-displacement motorcycle. The history of the very latest machines from the World Championship is newly recalled and data on current activities on the racing field are added. This edition contains more than half of the new, previously unpublished photographs.

The author has been around road racing tracks since he was a boy. For just as long, he has been trying to extract from eyewitnesses the preserved memories, which are often contradictory. The long-standing idea of processing the "racing" part of the region's history received its final impetus this August at the Strahov Circuit. Going through his own extensive archive, he mobilized close friends and eyewitnesses, and delved into the ČTK archive to process the materials in the evenings. The result, delivered by the publisher in record time to bookshop shelves, will delight friends, fans and eyewitnesses of car and motorcycle racing. A number of previously unpublished facts and photographs will reveal completely new information about sporting events that have always attracted many competitors and spectators. Get yourself a wonderful read for long winter evenings.

Libor Marčík has already proven his authorial qualities in two previous works on motorcycle history and, in addition to his two recent publications, is now publishing, again at his own expense, another descriptive continuation of Czechoslovak motorcycle history. Years of painstaking work searching in the period press, in state and private archives, as well as examining entries in Latin, German or even in Hungarian-written books written in many registries are rewarded on graphically well-crafted pages. Long-forgotten manufacturers who sought ways of technical development through piece production are listed alphabetically. The carefully crafted text, supplemented by many original photographs, will delight historians and laymen alike, and in the company of the previous two works, a hint of a future complete history of motorcycle production from the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Czech Republic will begin to emerge in many libraries.

Another in a series of works by the renowned author deals with motorcycle history again, this time against the backdrop of World War I. It is published at a time when a hundred years have passed since its course, and the consequences of which fatally influenced the further development of all sectors in Europe. The book is not a historical study of the war, but has the ambition to present the role of motorcycles and the soldiers who served with them in the war. Motorcycles in the Great War performed a number of specific tasks. In addition to the very important courier service, they also served in ambulance and reconnaissance services. Armies used motorcycles on almost all battlefields, but the largest number was on the Western Front on the side of the Allies. The book introduces readers to individual variants of military machines, technical details, a detailed description of the most used models and the history of the brands represented. The publication brings a lot of interesting information not only to our regular fans of motorcycle history, but should also appeal to fans of military history and militaries in general.

A wide period from the establishment of an independent republic through the years of economic crisis, the protectorate and up to 1953, when a classless society was fully built with the help of obligations - these are the years that the author chose for the next presentation of some motorcycle manufacturers. The author filled the clearly arranged pages of the next part of his extensive publication with the production marks or surnames of workshop owners that begin with one of the three letters M, N, O. Period print, brochures, drawings, dimensional sketches, photographs, official documents replacing technical certificates and other archive materials were suitably used to bring the history of motorcycle production in Czechoslovakia closer. The author has been a guarantee of extremely interesting discoveries with a specialization in two-wheeled vehicles for many years.

Descriptions of individual types, copies of drawing documentation and a number of original photographs, placed in the context of the time, have created an engaging document. The author has long been dedicated to collecting materials directly related to the Aero brand, and has put this many years of activity to good use in a publication that should not be missing from the library of any aero enthusiast.

The publication captures almost unknown manufacturers and brands of motorcycles that were produced in the territory of the then Austria-Hungary. The reader will discover an incredible number of motorcycle manufacturers built in the vast majority of only one or a few pieces. Rapid changes in the development of motorcycle design are evident when compared with today's two-wheeled vehicles produced in large series. The publication is important in content for all friends of motorcycle history and the present.

With the warm words of the foreword by Prof. Pavek, which will set the reader in the right mood, the author slowly begins to unwind a continuous strip of memories. About his apprenticeship in a car repair shop and his first contacts with motorcycle handlebars, about exploring off-road motorcycle races. It is absolutely natural that Míla Souček likes to remember motorcycle sports in the colors of the army team - of course, after all, he was young, healthy and overcame random life obstacles with a smile. A separate chapter in his life, to which the author likes to return, is the period of motorcycle competitions with participation in the Six-Day Motorcycle Competition in Zlín in 1955. Between the lines, the perceptive reader can sense the devotion to motorcycles from Divišov. With ESO motocross specials of all three cubic capacities, he achieved success for our colors on tracks included in the European Championship. The last pages of the memories belong to motocross in Stříbr in 1963.
Reminisce with the author, recall the names and motocross tracks in the country and abroad.
