I'm a new collector just getting my first Hodaka motorcycles last week. I have been looking for a project for quite some time now and finally by posting a local craigslist ad found these beauties only 5 miles from my home. They are a pair of 1970 Ace 100B models bought new by a husband and wife in Harlowtown, MT in 1970. They stopped riding them in 1989 and parked them in their garage. The tanks had been drained. They still have the original tires on them and not even a weather check. 537 miles on the wife's and 1,386 on the husband's. Only ridden on mountain roads. They are completely stock and original right down to the unopened tool kits and the undertank air pumps that have never been used. it is truly an unbelievable find. I am also in the process of procuring 3 1973 Wombat 125s that the original owner has in his storage. These are similar finds. I will be bringing all 5 bikes out to the 50th Hodaka Days in 2014. ~Clint Pullman
Clint, what a fantastic score!! See you in Athena! ~Paul
Matt Glascock's very nice Super Rat with work done by Hodaka Dave.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ~Tore
Tore owns the only Hodaka I know of in Norway!
This is Claudio's bike, from Fiera Novegro, Italy. It is one of a very few Hodaka bikes in Italy, and it is a beauty!
Here are a few pictures from my Mom's birthday party, and the reveal. The day was perfect and the party was to. My Mom was overwhelmed and at one point said, "I thought I would never see it put back together." In one picture you'll see a shadow box that we put together, it includes: the original title, registrations from 1965-1967, the original tank emblems, gas cap, and mud flap. In addition there are pictures of each of us kids, as well as my Mom and Dad on the bike when it was new. Again I want to thank you and your team for your assistance and guidance throughout the project, I could never have accomplished it without your help. - Steven D. Knisley, Hodaka Club Member #500
I just wanted everyone to know that Steve rebuilt his Dad's Ace 90 from the ground up. His dad has passed, but it was sure a great joy for his mom to see it finished. Steve, we are so proud of you! -Paul
  
A couple of pics from Arizona ACP of my completed Super Rat.Thank you for your help. -Robert Loveless
All I can say is WOW!! -Paul
Here is a recent picture of my grandson, Jack on a Hodaka Ace, as raced here is the 1960s - it had an Atlantic head, copy of factory exhaust, etc. -Colin from Australia
I received this photo with text recently. The photo was sent from my great friend Diane Watkins, of her husband and my buddy Greg Watkins. The text says it all - "too much fun!!"
I’ve sent you a picture of my 98 race bike before. I just love the look with the Tony D front, Clarke YZ tank and stock rear fender. The motor on this bike is stock and it sports the HT2 pipe I purchased from you nearly 4 years ago . - Mike James
Thanks for all your help, advice and patience. It's finished and back on the road and trails. Rode it 15 miles even though it was under 40 degrees and smiled the whole time. Here are a couple pics of the finished project.
Great work, Kary!
Matt Glascock's Super Rat is a work of art just like his car! Hodaka Dave helped greatly with his restoration. 1st class guys!!

Our good friend and Hodaka Club member coordinator Bill Chapman has done one heck of a great job on his newly restored model (03) Wombat.
My "new" 1977 250 SL. The Preston Petty fenders that I got from you, really complete the restoration. Thanks so much for making these available. I know the tank was originally white, but I prefer the red. So there it is. (my apologies to the Hodaka purists) I had the frame powder coated with RAL # 5011 (steel blue) which I found to be a very close match to the original color. The bike runs great, and I was only able to complete this project because all the quality parts that you have to offer.Thanks. ~Tom

Here's a few pics of my wombat that I recently finished. It's a model 94. I did it to look like the prototype. I like the red/orange color much better than black. NOS wheels. The front is off an 03 wombat. All the red/orange parts were powdercoated. I took the engine apart to bare cases and replaced all the bearing and seals, rebuilt the clutch. Nos cylinder and piston. Everything else was glassbeaded and redone, even all the nuts and bolts. glassbeaded and redone, even all the nuts and bolts. Hope you like it. Mike Hawkins.

I thought I'd share a pic of my '73. The pic is a few years old. But the bike's been restored, is ridden and cosmetically maintained as best I can for a bike that still sees trails and dirt. Roger in Austin
Here are photos of my 1968 Hodaka Ace 100 project I just completed. I would like to thank you and your staff for all of your assistance. The bike turned out better than expected. I started with a one owner bike with 653 miles, but needed everything. I either painted, powder coated, re-chromed or replaced with a new item. It was a little more expensive than planed, but the finished project was well worth it. This was my 1st motorcycle which I ended up racing both flat track and motocross with in central PA in 1968. I was only 11, but did OK against the Yamaha's of that period. Thanks again, Tom Mohnal

Steve Quarre's customized 1974 Dirt Squirt. Sure looks Great Steve !!!
Here is the before and after of the model 98 build. The only pars that made it across from the donor bike were the frame, motor (with carb, CDI & coil) and rear wheel assembly. Fenders, seat cover & foam, Progressives, HT2 pipe, handle bars & cables are all Strictly Hodaka! Mike James
Paul,
A couple of pictures of the finished product. Still have a couple of minor tweaks; starting another one this week! Thanks for all your assistance. It's great to have a place to go to get parts.~

Pictures of my 1970 super rat. I have had
this bike since 1992. It had been literally in a shed for 22 years.
The previous one owner had ran it into something and
bent the forks back. He put it up and never rode it again. It has
the original Nitto tires, perfect original fenders, original super
rat decal, shocks, mud skirt, seat, etc. The bottom picture is me
riding my 1971 super rat when it was new. Check out the gear!
Safety first! That's a K mart special helmet, duckbill, and a taped
up football guard. I raced moto cross on this bike two seasons. It
was totally destroyed in a good way when I sold it. I raced a Combat
Wombat after this bike. I have no pictures of that bike...it broke
every time I raced it...Charlie Stevenson.
  
In the mid '70s we had a large riding area that was about 50 yards from Bonnett Cycle in Cedar Rapids, IA. Bonnetts sold Maico, CZ and Hodaka. Pretty convenient for kids without driving licenses. These photos from back in the day might bring back some memories for some of the readers.
The photos are of the B+, the Combat and #853 Combat. Most of these photos are at either a 4 hour hare scrambles at Iowa City or a motocross at Wendy Oaks Racetrack near Stone City, IA.

Thought you might get a kick out seeing this picture. It appeared in the January 22, 1971 issue of Life Magazine. That's me on the Bonanza. My family had several Hodaka powered bikes including two Steens' 100cc's. Thanks for keeping Hodaka alive. Steve Sisco
'Some before and after pictures of my 01 squirt, this is my first Hodaka. Hodaka Dave helped me tremendously by building the motor and fabricating some parts on the bike, and Bill Cook helped me out also. We plan to compete in the three ISDT weekends for sure and if the good lord is willing and the job keeps going I hope to get three more races to qualify enough points for the cross country nationals. See ya at the races.
 
'Here are pictures of two Hodakas we have just about finished. We wouldn't have been able to get them to where they are without STRICTLY HODAKA. The Wombat was a Christmas gift for my father Gordon Byrne. We were able to give him a running bike for Christmas. The look in his eyes was priceless! He raced in the desert back in the 70's. So to everyone and Strictly Hodaka THANK YOU!!!'
Mike & Stacy Ragan
  
Thanks for all your help. Am working this winter on an Ace 100

Dan Dillion's great find;
Like so many out there who rode Hodaka in their hey day, I
decided after 35 years, to try to at least replace the Dirt Squirt I
last had owned, that didn't need a massive
amount of restoration before I could ride again and enjoy. Shopping
locally and Ebay, I
had about given up hope. I checked the Market Place section on the "Strictly Hodaka" web site and a small non-photo ad caught my eye. A special thanks goes
out to Mike and Debora Kreatz of MN. for making my dream and goal
come true, and taking such wonderful care of these great bikes over
all these years. I couldn't have hoped for two finer un-restored
examples of Hodaka.
  
I picked the bike up in louisville, ky. about 15 yrs. ago in sad state,,,,,with some help from lynn wineland @ target motorsports it's now back to almost new form.....in early 70's i raced a super rat against about 5-6 rickmans in district 17 in illinois and they were the bike to beat......after retirement i had to have one. -Larry Tucker
What a great shot of our good friend Jeff Wynn on his Hodaka Super Combat during the 2006 Elsinore Grand Prix ! Thank you Jeff for sharing the shot with us.
District 36 Cross Country Race at Carnegie sponsored by the Red Neck Roosters ( Their 20th Annual!!) This was race 4, which was for begging women, divas and vintage, I was the only vintage foul to show up. The second shot is me at the 2006 Elsinore GP racing the same '98 (with a straight pipe off the HT chamber). Fun fun fun!!! -

'I was 14 when I bought a used Yamaguchi strictly for trials riding. I ran it for about a year with the original 50cc engine. Later, I bought a Hodaka 90cc engine, and with just a little grinding on the original frame, it bolted right in. Now that was a trial bike, it was great little bike. Pics, circa 1966-69. The group shot has a picture of the bike with the original engine still in it. That's me trying to keep my feet on the pegs through the mud at a trials event held near Baltimore, Md. The upper left hand corner shot is me on a 350cc Kawasaki Avenger next to my trial trophies. Also attached is an old Hobby Center ad for the Yamaguchi. - Ray Burt Jr. Centreville, Virginia.
 
I thought you might like to see my 1974 wombat and MX (mongrel) which I have fitted with a H100 Honda engine, I know this may upset some people but original Hodaka spares are as easy to find in the U.K. as rocking horses--- Thanks from Raymond, Norfolk England
 
Paul, thought you would enjoy seeing before and after photo's of the Super Rat I've been restoring with your help! -Darryl Hamilton

Paul, I recently finished my ACE 90. Could you please update the picture on your website with this new picture I attached, thanks, Jeff Noble (Maple Valley, WA.)
This is an old picture,
taken in 1974. I worked across town bussing tables at a local restaurant and I would push my bike across
the highway. I would coast downhill through a residential neighborhood to get to the railroad tracks where I fired my bike up. I had to do things this way since the my Hodaka was not street legal and I was only 14 years
old.
Thanks again for a great site dedicated to a truly great bike.
Sincerely Daniel Dillon
I attached a pic of my Road Toad please take a look. Thanks for all your help with my restoration. Jeffrey Stucki

all your help. Don Daugherty

Brian Bellman's great looking Hodaka Super Rat's! Cerani forks, webco head, skid plate, grips, rear shocks are not original. New bearings, seals, piston and bore, fork seals and many other new parts should make this a nice rider.
 
Kolby gave her senior project presentation today and it went well. It raised quite a stir rolling through the hall at school. Here is a picture of the completed bike and one of her presentation. We still need to get a few things on it for the HD 08 show but it's coming along nicely.
Thanks again for the help.
   
Here are a couple of pictures of my Super Rat and my son-in laws ( Joel Kirby's) Combat Wombat. He recently got it to race vintage MX. We are racing in the Florida Vintage MX series. Hopefully we will also race the AHRMA national at Ocala on March 1.

Here's my story... In 1975 my grandfather bought this bike. He told my grandmother it was for me but I was only 3! He rode the bike everyday with his little dog Brownie in a basket he attached to the front. The newspaper even stopped him one day for a pic of him & his dog. He passed away in 1977, and therefore had never seen me ride it. My father then rode it around on short trips until... Years later, I rode the wheels off it. At one point, in an accident I do not remember, it landed me in the hospital for a week with a torn eyelid and lower lip... We fixed her up and I continued to ride it until 1988 when I parked it and got ready to go off to college. I pulled her out about 7 months ago. My intention was simply to make her look good and hang it from my shop ceiling along with a framed pic of my grandfather and his dog. After locating you, I changed my mind and now have her running strong. My little boy is only 4 1/2 but is already on a gas powered quad and one day may also be able to ride the Dirt Squirt. How many bikes can say they had four generations from one family on them?!?

HODAKA HITS THE MOVIES! I had to contact you since last week my son and i were extras in Will Ferrels new movie "Semi Pro", to be released sometime in Feb 08. They originally wanted me for my restored 1970 chev pkup. In discussion with the extras casting director I suggested putting some Hodakas in the bed of my truck. Tthey agreed. How cool is that! So you will have to be sure to see the flick! I'm the one in a blue checked lesuire suit, my son is in a white one with a green shirt. My truck is green with white top and rockers with my 74 dirt sq and the 73 wombat I got from Pete Bennet.

Just a Thank you for your guidance and advice, my Wombat
is back on the road with the new piston and getting gently broken in.
Thought you might like to see the motorcycle you helped.
My Dad bought it from a family friend for my 15th birthday, I learned to
ride and operate a motorcycle on my Wombat. I went away to college and
took it with me, it was my cool campus ride not to mention cheap on the
non-exisiting money flow. After I graduated I put the Wombat away for a
while. I'm now 36 and after 15 years of rest I returned the Wombat to the
road. I love this little motorcycle and will ride it until I can no
longer swing my leg over it. Thanks again for all the parts and friendly help.

I live just north of OKC, about 30 miles from George, so I get to visit his shop fairly often. He's done a complete engine rebuilt for me, and has guided me through the restoration process. He's an amazing guy and I'm convinced nobody knows more about these old bikes than him. He has plenty of parts and doesn't mind sharing his knowledge and experience. Good stuff all around. ~ Al Stone

Paul & Patti, I am kind of new to the Hodaka family, but better late than never because I really love these super bikes.
A few months ago, a friend of mine introduced me to Mr. George Cone in Mustang, Oklahoma. George is
without any doubt one of the nicest guys that I have ever met, and he has a large inventory of Hodaka
parts and supplies. Anyway, I asked George to help me build a motorcycle, which is something that
I had always wanted to do. We dug out an old 175SL rolling chassis from his collection and went to
work. George did a complete rebuild on the engine (which will now start on the first kick), and I painted
and polished up the rest. Together, we got the rest of it together and you can see from the pictures
what a beautiful bike it is! When I look at it, I feel like I could now die and go to heaven!
I hope you can find a spot for it on your website with a special thanks to George Cone, it was a real
pleasure to do business with him.
"Bill Caskey's very nice Ace 100 B+"
Paul here is a little nicer shot of my 71 B . Hope to restore it this winter with your help.

HODAKA FLAT TRACKER I Bought it in 1969. It was originally a 1966 Ace 90. I bought a 100cc engine for it when Pabatco ran the special for $99.00 in '69 or '70. I raced it in several versions, both mx and flat track until about 1972. I bought the Webco 100cc barrel for it. The tank is the small trackmaster 250 tank. I traded for the old style Ceriani forks.Started racing big bikes and pretty much shoved the Hodaka on the back burner. It lived in the rafters of my garage until about 4 years ago. I saw a flier for some vintage races in Carson City. It was about the only place around to race a flat track version of a Hodaka. I got all the pieces together, and got some small parts from you, and put it together. Steve Brizendine
  
Since Steen's are kinda rare on web sites - I thought I'd share my Steen picture with you, It's still in process. The Ace 100 runs great, yes the tank is fiberglass and will "fender it" soon - the Preston Petty's were taken off for cleaning - The "before" pictures are a site to see, had to remove twisted vines that were growing thru the front spokes.

Steve Hasse has a very very clean Combat Wombat here. He knows the tank is
not the correct one but still sure looks good !

I finally finished an '03 Wombat (though of course you'll note I took liberties in installing an older 125 engine (rebuilt by George Cone) and adding the decal(s) of my liking). Hope you aren't offended by my personalizations (as opposed to doing a purist restore back to original). Like most of the Hodaka enthusiasts out here, I couldn't have completed the bike without your help, both for parts and expert technical advice. I can't wait to get started on the next project and daily lament that I won't be at Hodaka Days to share the "Hodaka Experience" with yourselves and fellow Hodie lovers. BEFORE & AFTER

Our friend Stu Osborne's new 1974 Superrat. This came from Steve Mitchell so you know it runs as good as it looks !
Put on the chain & I am done. Chances are it will never look this good again as I plan to cover as much desert in SoCal as my body will allow early in Jan. Thanks again Paul, & Roger for the help. Just another Hodaka nut!! Tom Burroughs
WOW is all we can say !!
"Attached are a few photos of my recently completed 71 Super Rat. It makes a nice pair next to the 69 Ace that I did last year. This Rat is a very low time machine that still has it's original Nitto's, sprockets and std. bore. I have gone through the entire thing, re-zinc plating everything including the spokes. It truly looks as though it just came out of the crate, complete with original owners manual and tool bag with plug wrench. Thank you again for all your work with all of us and Hodaka, you are the greatest! " Barney Pierce

3 MONTH RESTORATION
Here's a few shots of my 1972 wombat. My dad bought me one of these for christmas in 1972. The wombat was my first motorcycle at the young age of 12. I had been looking for a good restoration bike to restore for the last year and finally found this bike in Indiana. The bike had been sitting for quite sometime and was showing 859 miles on the odometer. The thing was that it was all there. After a three month restoration and lots of new parts from you guys here she is...........
Thanks for the help,

Hello
Paul, the bike with the new tank, looks good doesn’t
she? Also ground 4mm off needle jet… runs great. Went
from a 159 Q-6 up to a modified Q-8. Before altering the
Q-8 was to fat. Needle is a 6DH4.

Hodaka Road Racer
Yes, that road racer runs! It belongs to a man named "Jerry Shields" Of Yakima
Washington. It is reputed that Harry Taylor or Harrys brother had some influence
in the engine and/or pipe design. It is totally hand built, and has a Betor
front end. It is totally utilitarian, and meant to do one job, and that is
go very fast. Please post it on the site, Jerry would be quite honored!

Finished Ace 100
Here are some pictures of my finished Ace 100. The vin plate indicates that
it was manufactured in Sept. of 71', and I assume that makes it a 72' model.
(Frame # A 605--). I was the original owner of this motorcycle (# 495.00
out the door) and used it for cheap transportation while attending college
several years ago.I was able to buy it back from the man that purchased it
from my father ($ 50.00 ) . It had been stored in a barn for the past 15
years and had suffered from the hands of a young boy. Needless to say it
took quite a bit more time and money to rebuild , repaint, rewire, derust
and debug than I had anticipated It was a fun and satisfying experience.
The bike looks nice and it runs well too! Thanks to you for keeping the parts
available and thanks for the advice,it was very helpful.

AMA's #1 Texas Women's Rider
1973 Dee was AMA's #1 Texas Women's Rider 1973....So - there ya go. When not
riding with the women - I rode with the guys. They didn't like it too much
as I beat their rears up. Even my sponsors I beat. Rode in the 125 Intermediate
and 200cc class with a 125. When I quit racing I had over 200 trophies. My
favorite ones were the men's races that I placed.

Dirt Squirt work bikes
Our last track day of the year at Beaverun racetrack in western Pennsylvania.
Those dirt squirts of mine are work bikes - my fellow course marshall and
I use them as our pit scooters, and we ride them to the scene whenever people
crash - you can go motocrossing across the infield and get there more quickly
than you can with a motor scooter.

My latest Hodaka acquisitions/restorations
I wanted to share my latest Hodaka acquisitions/restorations with you. When
I purchased these last two bikes on ebay approx 8 months ago I promised my
wife that would be it. My Hodaka collection currently is now at five completed
(unfortunately, it will probably have to stop at five). The 73 Combat Wombat
I purchased out of Indianapolis. The engine was in perfect shape having just
been rebuilt. I powder-coated the frame, had all chrome parts including the
tank and fenders re-chromed, and painted all other metal parts. All rubber
parts and the seat replaced via Steve.
Bill Maynard
  
Latest (and probably last) additions
to my Hodaka Collection
The 72 Super Rat I purchased out of Tulsa,Okla. I don't know if I could have
purchased a cleaner bike anywhere!!...This bike looks as though it STILL belongs
on the showroom floor!!....The engine had just been rebuilt by your friend
George Cone. The frame, even the engine cases had been powder-coated. The ONLY
thing I had to do with this bike was re-chrome both fenders, for they were
scratched ever so slightly.....Thanks to both of you for your help and guidance
over the last few years as I continue to re-live my teenage/childhood years!!....I
still hope to get this collection up to Athena very soon, hopefully for the
next "Hodaka Days"....

Ace 100 restoration
I have just finished my Ace 100 restoration and thought you might like to see
the finished product. It runs great and starts first kick every time. It
is 100% complete (tool kit, owners/parts manuals, mirror, tire pump and overlay).
It only gets driven on perfect days and is a blast to ride. Most people have
no idea about these cool old Hodakas. Thank you for all your help getting
parts to me and every one else who does these things. My next project will
be a B or B+.

Bill Maynards FANTASTIC looking bikes!
Here are my three bikes that I have finished. The 1970 Ace 100, the 74 (orange
tank) rat, and the 74 Super Combat. These three bikes I completely went thru
over the last two years. Every frame powder-coated and every nut and bolt
re-chromed or replaced. The bikes run as well as they look. I'm very proud
of these bikes. I thought I'd share them with you.
  
Jeff Steimle
Here is a couple of pics of my 73?(man. date 12/73) Dirt Squirt. I built it
by buying two rolling basket cases that were both rust buckets. After a lot
of rebuilding, cleaning, painting and of course a healthy helping of parts
from Strictly Hodaka I ended up with a pretty clean little bike that gives
me big grins every time I ride it.
 
Greg Inman
1973 Combat Wombat that was restored by my father and myself with the help
of your great parts. My dad bought a new one in '73 and I used to chase him
on my XR75. We saw this one for sale and bought the bike for $75.00. It didnt
run and was extremely ugly... many man hours turned out this beautiful ride.
Dan Burke
I know you have seen them before, but thought I would shoot over some pics
of the motor George Cone just built for my toad ... all I have to say is
that I may name my firstborn George.......
 
Justin Barr
Hey Paul, I love your site. It's been really helpful. I'm restoring my dad's
old hodaka. It's an ace 100 that he modified into a super rat. The tag says
it was made in 1972. It's kind of ironic because he bought the bike when
he was 19 and i'm restoring it when i'm 19 (30 years later). it's in pretty
good shape considering it's been in a shed for the last 20 or so years. I
included a couple of pictures of before and some when i'm almost done.
 
My Hodaka Ace 90, 1965
Paul, here is the pic of my (new to me) 1965 Hodaka Ace 90. Bought it this

Found this scanned shot of a Van Tech Hodaka that an old buddy of mine built
back in the early 70's. It stopped traffic in the pits for many years, won
a few races too!
Fred Carey
Thought I would send you a couple of shots of the 1969 Ace 100 after its recent
refurbishment. I bought this bike new here in Renton WA, in 1969,had it street
legal till 1983, then went to ORV tabs till now. With the refurb, it is street
legal once again. With the sandblasting and powdercoating of the frame, this
refurb was nearly $1000, this for a bike that I paid $375 for in 1969. Hodaka
insanity!!!

Hi Paul, I spotted your trailer at the side of the New Jersey Turnpike, on
Sun. Feb 3 I couldn't believe my eyes when it said "Strictly Hodaka" on it
and it took a quick spotter to get the website. Anyway, back in the mid-70's
I had a Super Rat that I trailed and then began racing Motocross on at Bridgehampton,
on Long Island. It was a fantastic and fun bike that I could completely disassemble
and rebuild quite easily, and did many times. Herre is an old photo on my
hodaka

Wayne Sander
Found a dirt squirt in someones garbage the other day and neither my son nor
I were familiar with the name Hodaka. Turns out it may have been a good find.
The chain is missing, but it turns over and I'm confident we'll have it running
soon. About an hour ago my son popped in and commented "thats one sweet ride".
At sundown yesterday the Squirt was laying around his driveway. Check it
out now. From garbage to street in 2 days!

Really enjoy your website. I have attached a photo of my 1970 ACE 100 for your

for years, it has only 2,150 miles on the speedometer. In 1971 I was in high
school. I saved my tips from working as a car hop at Steak & Shake in
Rock Hill, Missouri and bought a brand new 1971 ACE 100B (I still have the
original owners manual from that long gone bike). This bike brings back all
those great memories! ~

Dave Hansen, Moss Landing CA
I'm a life time AMA member and have been involved in motorcycles most of my
life. No one in my family had been involved with bike before me and now my
Mom and my sister both have bikes! My moms husband Fred gave me the Wombat
he used to provide bike service during the 60's-80's out of his garage in
Olympia, WA where they still live. He knew I would do it justice as all my
bikes are constantly polished! It was very rusty and but thank goodness it
had been in his garage. He got it from some guy in Idaho who turned it into
a racer way back when to try to take on the Honda Elsinors (poor guy). As
you can see in the pictures....there is a GEM reed valve and larger carb
mounted on the bike.

'71 Super Rat Won Best
We got the parts and entered the Super Rat in the local Classic Car/Motorcycle
Show in Elk Grove California. The Super Rat is my daughter's, I just get
to work on it and drive it until she is big enough, and we have been restoring
it for the last few years. We finally decided to order the final cosmetic
parts and get it all finished-up (thanks for the quick response, and the
beautiful parts) in preparation for the local car and bike show. Well, needless
to say the Super Rat was quite the hit. I never knew that so many people
had their first ride on a Hodaka. We spent all afternoon telling people the
story behind the bike (it was given to us from the original owner who had
it sitting in his airplane hanger for 20 years) and how we worked on it with
the help of Strictly Hodaka. When it came to the awards for the day, the
old '71 Super Rat won Best Motorcycle. My daughter was thrilled, I don't
think that the owner of the $30k custom Harley was to excited, and is looking
forward to putting it in the Autorama this February. This will be quite-a-bit
larger and have Cars and Motorcycles from around the country. I'll let you
know how we end-up. Thanks so much for everything, you made a nine year old
(and 38 year old) very happy.

T thought I'd send a picture of my '71 Ace 100 B. I grew up riding Hodakas
in the 60s and early 70s. My grandfather owned a BMW motorcycle dealership
in the 50s, 60s and 70s and sold Hodakas through the 60s and into the early
70s. We rode them all over Oregon. My brother (Grant) and I are in the process
of restoring several 60s vintage BMWs left to the family (severely neglected)
and we're also restoring a couple of Hodakas and using a couple more for fun.
I found my '71 Ace 100 B a few days ago stored away in some guy's shop for
the past 22 years. It has 529 miles original miles on it and a little scrubbing
produced an almost new Ace 100.
