After midnight, one July evening in Monterey, California, the team was rolling the original MotoCzysz C1 out of a hotel on the peninsula when a man stop them to look at the bike. He was very interested and said something about “I lieka”. Several years later the same man walks out of a press conference on the Isle of Man and heads directly to the new MotoCzysz E1pc, he grabs the throttle and revs the motors and says “Iz vedy vedy fast, I lieka”. This time he was with a friend and after a quick chat they took out a Sharpie and signed the tank. The man was Valentino Rossi and his friend was Giacomo Agostini.
