Motorcycles years old

A good reason to look into the past of our motorcycle give two anniversary dates falling on August 90 th anniversary of the first nationwide speed record on a motorcycle and 60 years of motorcycle Izhevsk mark ..

The first motorcycles appeared in our country, the German steel and Gildenbrandt Volfmyuller tricycles and French Clement. Lundberg from St. Petersburg in August 1899 reached a tricycle on the rate of 37.07 km / h, setting the first speed record of all the Russias. In those years we bought bikes overseas. Thus, imports in 1903 totaled 53, while in 1909 526 cars. And once there was a demand for single-track motorized transport, and Russia and our Dux began to make domestic cars. However, the engines they were still foreign.

Since motorcycles are not only what occurred on the roads of our country Harley and Indiana, BSA and Norton, Wanderer and derrady, rubbed and motogutstsi. They came in different ways, and the whole raznomarochny park, starved of spare parts and qualified service, somehow to fulfill its functions. Many of these machines have kept museums, as well as members of the Oldtimers Club. And some of the bikes of previous years are shown in the tab images Istomin.

Exactly sixty years ago in August 1929 on the Izhstalzavode was completed assembly of five different experimental designs of motorcycles IZH brand. They designed a group of enthusiasts led by PV Mozharova. In September they went to a great test run of length 3224 km. His route passed through Izhevsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow, Pskov, Vitebsk, Smolensk, Orel, Kursk, Belgorod, Tula and Moscow again. Tests of the first five motorcycle brought them to the Soviet experience of the designers, and in early 1930 the group began intensive work Mozharova in Leningrad, where the trust was created Tremass A motorcycle 300. The first 25 cars were ready in September 1930 and underwent extensive testing. Subsequently, this model from 1931 to 1939

serially produced Leningrad plant Promet (included in Tremass) and Red October.

A Mozharova in 1931 seconded to Moscow, where in the NATI (now NAMI) began working on the design group mototsiklostroeniyu. There, at the end of 1931 started to design a heavy motorcycle. His completed in May 1932 and in April 1933 a pilot plant IZH-stalzavoda finished assembling four A750 prototype design Mozharova us. After finishing this model (it was called PMZ A750) produced from March 1935 Podolsk Engineering Plant. But Mozharov could not see these bikes he died in March 1934, when, and in Izhevsk, and Leningrad was already in production of motorcycles IZH 7 and A 300. They were followed by TIZ AM600, IL 9, IL 12 M 72 IL 49 and other models. Today, more than 60 years ago, leaders of the Soviet mototsiklostroenii izhevtsy remains that to this day preserved IZH first one, created by PV Mo braziers.

The first IZhi, A 300, A750 NATI bore the imprint of his hands Mozharova. Stamped parts frame and front forks, raised, in relation to our road conditions, safety margins, deep seating position designed the distinctive features of their models.

IL 1 is preserved to this day one of the museums in Izhevsk factory. Motorcycle A 300, made even Tremassom and PMZ A750 stand at the exhibition of the Museum in Moscow. One of the four experimental A750 NATI restored Moscow enthusiast J. Zuzik.
