Re: Used Bike Search
Which model from which dealer in which town?? Need to narrow it up some.
Re: Used Bike Search
If you’re in Ohio, would you consider driving to Union, Missouri? Terry Larson, the owner of Hodaka-Parts, Inc. has numerous bikes of numerous models in differing conditions. You can buy one “As Is” and do the restoration yourself. Terry is the world’s largest provider of Hodaka parts, both new & used.
Or, you can discuss with Terry about having the bike worked on to be a Survivor condition, or, if it’s what you want, a more restored condition.
Don’t know if you think Union is too far away. Personally, I’ve driven 400 miles, one way, to pick up a couple of bikes!
Where in Ohio are you located? Victor

Re: Used Bike Search
Thanks both for the reply
I do have an email into Terry about bikes it’s doubtful that one from Ohio ended up in MS but it’s possible

Re: Used Bike Search
OIC. You’re looking for a bike which was originally sold in Ohio. Was this like your first bike you’re looking for? Sorry for the confusion. Thought you were looking for any bike in the Ohio area. Victor

Re: Used Bike Search
Understand, not my first bike my grandpa had a dealership and was trying to locate one that would have been sold out of his shop I know it’s a huge request but thought it was worth a try
Re: Used Bike Search
Gotcha! Best of luck!
Just thinking out loud here….Maybe try taking out an ad in something like Craig’s List and local Thrifty Nickels and those types. Give them the name of your grandfather’s shop & state you’re looking for a bike purchased from that shop. Victor

I having nothing info the name of the dealership was Ditcher’s Cycle Sales was just hopeful there was a frame or someone had the sales slip from a purchase date
Re: Used Bike Search
You are about four months late. Every July at Mid-Ohio they have Vintage Motorcycle days. It has one of the biggest swap meets around. You might have been able to find something like that there. If you don't have any luck in your search, there is always next year.

Re: Used Bike Search
You need to do mid Ohio every year because it changes every time, wasn’t a lot of Hodaka’s this year and what was there wasn’t in the best of condition. But it may be the opposite next year.

Re: Used Bike Search
Quick question
If I were to locate a bike is there a data base anywhere that would have the original shop it was sold out if
We lost all paperwork related to the shop
I have located a few bikes but they don’t have past purchase history or original owner

Re: Used Bike Search
I would run a add in a local trade paper. locally the cycle shops remember allot, We have a historical, antique, motorcycle group. I do not think there is a record of who sold what, the distributor probably handled all of that. ---------- Clarence
