Where I count here – we buy, we sell, we change, always looking for what we don’t have yet ”.

The guests didn’t like it. He only tried to objectively evaluate the attractiveness and advantages of the technique of the participants of the meeting.
Can’t motorcycles, such as those that were driven at the meeting of Rimantas Čygas, a well-known collector of vintage equipment and director of the Rinkuškės Brewery in 1950, not attract the attention of even a less trained expert in this field? production “IŽ”, the event organizer V.

No less attractive is the museum of Dalius Linkevičius, which, as they say, grew up in the middle of a flat field only 5 years ago, is now quite a rich and interesting exhibition of ancient techniques, which, it turns out, the people of Biržai really love and they know how to interest a guest.
