UPDATE:  In my ignorance about this brand I failed to realize just exactly how special a build this machine really is.  For a more complete story about the building of this bike see this thread here: http://50iniepoca.forumfree.it/?t=44399445

Hi Steve,
Thanks for such a great web site. You've highlighted some of the best
of the 2 wheeled world.
Good on ya!!
I'd like to present the 1973 H2 750 that I call my "UCR" (Ultimate
Cafe Racer). It's highly modified and the details can be read at
www.bootstriples.com .
This is it's 4th, and final, reincarnation.
I roadraced triples during the late 70's through the early 80's. This
is the bike I wished I had then!!
Ride safe and have fun.
cheers
Boots Langley

Hi, I recently posted photos of my CZ 175 dirtbike in 1962. This is her 10 years younger sister, CZ 175 Type 477 of 1972.
 In 1968, when it was put into production, it was very modern and good quality bike in its category. The bike also works great even after 38 years ... It has increased the engine power from 15hp to 18 - 20 hp and many other arrangements for driving the winding roads of our region. ČeZet Rides great!
