Looks like a great day Albert making some unforgettable memories for both of you. I can remember riding a Honda like that and having a blast on a nice summer day. I do miss those days when all that mattered was riding and fishing.

It does have a small trials type seat which works pretty well.

Today was my daughters first time riding a motorcycle. I made a throttle stop to keep it safe which allowed me to walk next to her at first to help with the clutch for taking off. She did not shift but did really good learning to take off without killing it and remembering to pull it in for stopping...

I’m a big fan of the piano Victor. My daughter has been taking lessons for 11 years now and I’ve been to many recitals. It’s really cool seeing all the kids talents progress over the years. Her teacher had taken a break over the summer and she just had her first lesson Tuesday. It was pretty neat to...

I went for the first time last year. The swap meet was huge but stuff was priced at a premium. The whole facility is absolutely top notch and beautiful with more than I could take in for the three days I was there. The road race paddock was really neat with an overload of cool bikes.

Maybe only the cases are Wombat with SC internals ?

I’m also watching to see what the more knowledgeable say because this is a tough one (for me). The only thing that seems to be different is your mph are more in 3rd on up but I can’t see why that would matter. My first thought was ignition but I would think that would be an issue in any gear. Maybe ...

I know he grew up riding Bultacos but maybe he always longed for a Hodaka lol.

Good times indeed ! Well done Albert.

Thanks Matt. I still have a few small bugs to work out and need to paint the tank if I,m going to keep it on,but all in all a real blast to ride.

I finally got the Ace out in the woods for some testing and fun. I will have to admit that this is the first Hodaka that I have ridden :? and man what a great little bike. I am really impressed with how it handled and how fun it is to ride. It worked well in trials mode and I think it will be fine f...

Sounds like a lot a fun Matt. It also gives me hope that my Ace should be able to do the same if I have put it together correctly. I,ve only been able to ride it in the yard so far,but it runs real good and should be broke in enough to do a little flogging

Thanks Ed,I will see what they have.

I need a kill switch for the trials Ace and need advice on what after market one will work.

Thank you Bob,just what I needed to know. I have been working on fitting this tank as an alternative. I like the look of an original tank,but I have been working on fitting this one as an alternative. Much smaller allowing a tighter turning radius if deemed necessary after riding more.

Okay,thank you !

What type of 1/8” tap do I need. I remember reading that it was like 1/8” npt but not tapered and I cannot recall what the term for it is.

Thanks Matt ! That’s good to know there is fix to the brass that will thread right in.

Just a bump so Tether might see it before it gets too far down. Also,I did not realize these were an option until seeing them on the HPI site today. I,m guessing they are better than the brass ones ?

Nice work Albert. I think the blue looks really good and really makes it his bike.

Very cool bike Adam. If you bring it back to life I bet it will be a really fun woods bike set up as it is.

Well,I least I know it,s not just me. Thanks Ed.

Bob,I like those,where can I get them ?

Thought that I have read that leaky petcocks can be fixed by lapping. What do you use for the lapping compound ? The reason I ask is that I tried it with valve lapping compound and it seemed to be too coarse and I had to clean them up with 600 grit sand paper. Also,is it normal to not be able to tig...
