Carter was an International Six Days Trials rider in the mid-1970s - the event is now known as the FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE). Carter's Jawa is a 250 cc single cylinder two-stroke made in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic). The model was dubbed 'Banana Frame' because of the large curved spars that make up the main frame. This bike is one of 25 of the 250 cc machines built in 1970.
