How it all started …
At the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, a Restoration workshop was established with the financial support of the Moravian-Silesian Region (MSR). The implementation of this project follows three-way negotiations between the management of the VSB - Technical University of Ostrava and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, representatives of the Moravian-Silesian Region and the academic sculptor Mr Miroslav Rybička.
It was the academic sculptor Mr Rybička who in 2015 donated a numerous collection of vintage motorcycles to MSR, which will be preferentially restored in this workshop.
At the same time, it is appropriate to thank doc. Ing. Jiří Fries, Ph.D., who was the Head of the Department of Machine and Industrial Design at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, VSB-TUO, in 2019, and who stood at the orgin of the Restoration Workshop project and also led its activities in the initial years in his role as guarantor.
