On August 27, 2022, I went to see dozens of historic motorcycles, mostly produced in Povazska Bystrica (Slovakia), at the 14th annual event called the "Povazskobystricky motocykel". The production of motorcycles in Povazska Bystrica ended 40 years ago, but the memories of this period are still alive here. I'll put a few photos here, the rest on the link (485 photos):

I've never been much a motorcycle fan, I crashed my brother Honda 250 in a cactus patch when I was a teenager... been more of a 3- wheeler or quad person since. But I can still appreciate those beautiful bikes.
 
What a collection of beautiful motorcycles. i doubt you would see any of these in the U.S.. In the condition they are in, they would cost a lot of money, and be worth every penny. Beautiful machines!! ;)
