The BERTUS Factor

Mr. BERTUS has been a worldwide leading supplier, designer/engineer, craftsman of CZ motocross parts and motorcycles for over 50 years. His knowledge and abilities by those in the industry who know him and or have been customers for decades is without equal. Since the early years as a technical employee for American JAWA, owning the second largest CZ-JAWA dealership behind Joe Kubicek (both in LA county) racing 2 wheel and sidecar motocross during and beyond the infancy of American motocross, this pioneering motocross professional has literally and continues to feed and support CZ motocross enthusiasts worldwide with NOS, newly engineered and rare used parts. Bertus 1970's era shop is now the largest supplier in the world of CZ-JAWA wares. And to this day, ALL without a computer or email in sight! He is a one man industrialist extraordinaire who says his computer is between his ears. A forgotten God given design in today's world.
