I bought this bike for £15.00 in 1992. It had no wiring loom or battery but otherwise it was complete. It had just 230 miles on it. It soon proved to be a decent run about especially in the snow. I sold it a year or so later for a handsome profit. Please forgive the Triumph tank stickers! Photograph from 1993 and a 35mm negative scan.

Here's a bit about the gun from "http://www.cz-usa.com/media_releases.php?m=4&msgid=37":
Release: CZ P-01 gets NATO approval. The next Generation of perfect pistols
Date: 2003-02-01 09:24:31
The P-01 is now a NATO classified pistol and issued the NATO stock number NSN 1005-16-000-8619.
The CZ P-01 is the culmination of several years of exhaustive design and testing. Ceska Zbrojovka has always had some of the most rigorous testing requirements in the world but, the Czech National police has required that they go even further, the testing regiment for this new pistol was the most demanding anyone has ever encountered. There are almost 20 specific requirements covering everything from accuracy to interchangability, from safety to reliability/durability and everything in between.
The pistol: The CZ P-01 is a Gen 3 pistol that began as a requirement for a lightweight compact pistol that will deliver the accuracy and durability of a full size, full weight pistol. This was no small task, several manufacturers declined to even start the project.
The first thing you notice about this pistol is the M3 light rail on the frame, a first for CZ, the alloy frame is a little wider at the top than a steel CZ 75. This adds strength and rigidity for mounting the light and increasing the accuracy and service life of the pistol. The P-01 also sports enhanced controls as well as a drop free magazine and a lanyard loop.
The pistol was required to pass a wide variety of tests:
The police required that the pistol ensure the highest level of comfort, an extended slide release was added as well as an extended magazine release and the trigger was reshaped to give a more consistent pull throughout the trigger stroke.
The pistol must be 100% reliable in extreme conditions, the following is a list of some of the minimum requirements.
Must be able to complete the following without failure:
4000 dry firings
3000 De-cockings
Operator level disassembly 1350 times with out ware or damage to components.
Complete disassembly 150 times, this is all the way down, pins, springs etc.
100% interchangability, any number of pistols randomly selected, disassembled, parts mixed and reassembled with no failures of any kind including loss of accuracy.
Safety requirements:
Drop test
1.5 meter (4.9”) drop test, this is done 54 times with the pistol loaded (blank) and the hammer cocked. Dropping the pistol on the butt, the muzzle, back of the slide, sides of the gun, top of the slide, in essence, any angle that you could drop the gun from. This is done on concrete and 0 failures are allowed! A failure is the gun firing.
3meter drop (9.8”) 5 times with the pistol loaded (blank) and the hammer cocked, This is done on concrete and 0 failures are allowed! A failure is the gun firing.
After these tests are complete the gun must fire without service.
The factory contracted an independent lab to do additional testing on guns that previously passed the drop tests. These pistol were dropped an additional 352 times without failure.
The pistol must also complete an environmental conditions test:
This means cold, heat, dust/sand and mud.
The pistol must fire after being frozen for 24 hours at –35C (-36F).
The pistol must fire after being heated for 24 hours at 70C (126F)
The pistol must fire after being submerged in mud, sand and combinations including being stripped of oil then completing the sand and mud tests again.
Service life:
The service life requirement from the Czech police was 15,000 rounds of +P ammo!
The pistol will exceed 30,000 rounds with ball 9mm.
Reliability:
The reliability requirements for the P-01 pistol are 99.8%, that’s a .2% failure rate.
This equals 20 stoppages in 10,000 rounds or 500 “Mean Rounds Between Failure” (MRBF)
During testing, the average number of stoppages was only 7 per 15,000 rounds fired, this is a .05% failure rate, a MRBF rate of 2142 rounds! Over 4 time the minimum acceptable requirement.
The U.S. Army MRBF requirement is 495 rounds for 9mm pistols with 115 grain Ball ammunition.
Heritage:
The P-01 is based on the CZ 75, the most used pistol in the world. Over 60 countries use it as the standard side arm of their Armies, National police forces, National security agencies or other Law enforcement organizations. No other pistol can make this claim.

Vandaag een dagje besteed op het Station Decin in tjechie..
We hebben ook de omgeving verder bekeken en de stad gezien en ook daar de trams die nog van het oude materiaal op de foto gezet.
On ze blik viel bij binnenkomst meteen op deze LOC.
Helaas stond de zon nog niet perfect dus we hebben onze tijd even voldaan in het stad Decin zelf.
We zien hier de Loc van IDS cargo diesel uitvoering die nog regelmatig wordt ingezet maar nu heerlijk stond te rusten op het zij spoor..
This is a CZ model 1927 in 7.65mm or .32 auto. It was made in Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia in early WWII. It has the Nazi Reichsadler (eagle) markings and the German wartime production code fnh. Some of these are marked Boehmische Waffenfabrik (Bohemian Arms Factory) on top of the slide, though this one is not. The gray phosphate finish is typical of wartime guns.
Trúba Štramberská na Moravě, dle návrhu projektu Kamila Hilberta, Zlatá Praha 1902
Trúba štramberská na Moravě. Turistika a zvláště naše česká turistika na sesterské Moravě učinila v posledních letech pravé divy. Není to dávno, co překvapila čilá Pohorská jednota ve Frenštátě celý turistický svět svými originálními, lidově rázovitými útulnami na Radhošti; není to dávno, co klub českých turistů zřídil přístup k pověstné, divukrásné Macoše a rozkošné útulny tam postavil, a již opět ohlašuje naší veřejnosti potěšitelnou zprávu podnikavý odbor klubu českých turistů na Štramberku, že počíná právě s upravováním nejpopulárnější zříceniny na Moravě, známé „Trúby štramberské“ za turistickou útulnu a rozhlednu, ve slohu věrně historickém dle projektu arch. Kamila Hilberta. Česká veřejnost uvítá zajisté s vděčností tuto zprávu o novém, vzácném turistickém podniku a čtenáři naši potěší se mile z pěkného obrázku umělecky vzácného projektu páně Hilbertova.
(Zlatá Praha, ročník 19/1901-1902, číslo 46, 1902)
V roce 1899 získal z podnětu známého štramberského osvětového pracovníka a lékaře MUDr. Hrstky zříceninu hradu ve Štramberku do svého majetku Klub českých turistů. Jak tehdy hrad vypadal známe z mnoha dobových pohlednic - ostatně pár z nich můžeme vidět i v rámci návštěvy muzea Z. Buriana... Emotikona smile
Věž Trúba byla podle plánů významného pražského architekta Kamila Hilberta vybavena jako rozhledna. Dostala vysokou kuželovitou střechu krytou taškami. Projekt arch. Hilberta dále počítal s přebudováním areálu celého vnitřního hradu do možné podoby v období gotiky s množstvím romantických prvků (podobnou, ale provedenou rekonstrukci můžeme nalézt na moravském Bouzově). Hradní věž byla zpřístupněna v roce 1903. Z celého projektu však byla realizována jen úprava věže, zbytek projektu nebyl pro nedostatek financí realizován. Možná je to pro štramberský hrad i dobře. Drsná rekonstrukce totiž bohužel znamenala i zcela zbytečné odstranění některých částí hradu, především obou bývalých paláců.

CZ-75 B in bead blasted stainless steel. Since this one was originally sold in a state that has an "assault weapons" ban, it came with politically correct 10-round magazines. The grips are made of checkered Neoprene and though not aesthetically pleasing, they are comfortable and don't slip. All the stainless steel versions of the CZ-75 have ambidextrous safety levers, similar to the CZ-85.
