A Hodaka Story!

The dirt on Hodaka motorcycles
The Hodaka phenomenon of the 1960s and 1970s was caused by a unique sequence of events. The Baby Boom generation was then in their teens, there were a lot of unpaved roads in rural areas and Honda had popularized riding small motorcycles...

Love it, Butch! It was fun to see those old Hodakas at Anamosa and Carmel Valley, and I remember the ads in the back of moto mags in the day selling all sorts of tuning parts for them. Forks, heads, shocks, expansion chambers, or whatever else you wanted to hop up your Hodaka. Fun times!

And they had the best names for motorcycles ever!

Dirt Squirt, Roadtoad, and my favorite, Combat Wombat. :laughing
