Well here it is all together Wiki says: Böhmerland or Čechie (as it was known domestically) was a motorcycle produced in Czechoslovakia from 1924 until World War II. Almost all aspects of this distinctive motorcycle were designed by Albin Leibisch, including the extremely long, all-welded tube-frame chassis, the built-up leading-link front forks, the overhead valve single-cylinder engine (typically of 600cc / 78x120mm), and the solid cast wheels, which were an industry 'first' (not widely adopted until the 1970s). The Böhmerland was produced in several wheelbases; a two-seat 'Sport', a 3-seat 'Touren', and a 4-seat 'Langtouren'. An experimental machine built for the military seated 4 soldiers, and used two gearboxes, with the rear operated by a passenger, giving 9 ratios. The 'Langtouren' model is notable for having the longest wheelbase of any production motorcycle, 10.5 feet (3.2 m). Around 3000 total machines emerged from Leibisch's factory in Schönlinde, Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia. The factory employed 20 workers, assembling parts manufactured locally to Leibisch's specification.Check out the valve train without cover right in front of your jewels, that would make me nervous
