I really have enjoyed your site and I plan to join your Hodaka club. I do not have a Hodaka at the moment but I am looking to purchase one soon. Back in the 70's my dad was a Hodaka dealer in the little town of Moore Oklahoma. My first street bike was a 125 Wombat, which I loved. My mom had a Road Toad and my Grandpa had one of the B series Hodakas. I remember going with him to Oklahoma City and picking up the bikes still in the crates, and he and I would put them together to put on our showroom floor. My dad purchased a super combat, I think it was a 1974 and modified it compete with the factory racers that yamaha, honda suzuki and kawasaki were manufactoring. I have attached a picture of me racing my modified super combat in 1979 at a motocross track in Mid West City, Ok. This was a one of kind bike. My dad took it to Daytona in 1975 and a cycle magazine took a picture of it and put in the capiton "Is Hodaka making factory racers now?" My dad did not even know that they took the picture until we saw it a month later in the magazine. Here are just the modifications I can remember off the top of my head: Plastic tank and fender oversized high performance alloy wheels and tires custom down pipe oversized aluminum racing sprocket air forks air cooled gas shocks I would love it if you could find a place for this special bike on your website.
