Mr. Bertus loaded up his Dodge van with CZ wares, some CZ books and drove over 8 hours to the 2016 Don Matthews CZ World Championship event in Marysville, CA. The event attracted over 350 riders of which Bertus has supplied thousands of parts for the riders machines, hundreds of thousands worldwide. Most all of them had never met Bertus in person so this gathering of CZ'dom enabled them to finally meet the man who keeps the CZ world of motocross alive!

Bertus was recognized for his lifetime of achievement for the CZ/JAWA motorcycle effort he has led for over 50 years in America and the World! Lets hope there can be a CZ World Championship event done in his honer while he is still with us...
CZ's as far as you can see!

This
is just one of many photographs of probably the greatest assemblage of CZ
motocross machinery the world has yet seen in one place! It's as if the CZ
Factory had opened again producing them. There were CZ's in modified race trim, lightly and highly modified, to CZ's in showroom original condition. Fantastic effort by all, Mr. BERTUS was right at home.
