Big (but not happy) news for All Hodaka fans - Regarding Hodaka Days 2020

[Bullfrog]

So I reckon considerable discussion may happen right here regarding what we CAN do in 2020 . . . and in 2021.

Y'all stay healthy (and spiff up those Hodies?)

Who’s he referring to as “mature” ??

More great news. I booked with the Super 8 thru hotels.com. Now they are trying to screw me out of the $422 they charged me in advance for the room reservation they got wrong! I booked a 3 bed, 1 king/2 queen family room and they listed my reservation as 2 queen! I went on line to cancel and after canceling I was told due to the “special rate” none of my prepayment was refundable! I was on hold with hotels.com for over 40 minutes & no one came on line to deal with it. Victor

Have to watch out for the nonrefundable clause in the fine print. I almost got caught with that for mid Ohio last year. Now I either go to the motels website or call the motel direct. Less issues . Call super8 direct.

hard decisions have to be made in times such as these. glad you guys are up to the task. i work with a man who was in the Philippines during WW2 and he always told us younger ones to always "BE BRAVE" . seems important now a days. i would like to purpose a international ride your hodaka day on Saturday June 27 , take a ride ,post pictures , wright a few words, long rides, around the garage, push the rollers out to the driveway. not to take away from losing out on hodaka days but more of a way of standing up and showing the world were still here and care about our passion. thanks for letting me rant i will get off my soap box now , this self quarantine must be taking its tole on me ......albert

I was thinking the same, on the Thursday of that week do a road ride to shadow the poker run,on Friday go off road to emulate the Bad Rock and on sat clean your bike and park it outside as per the show and do a group ride to mirror the parade. Post up some videos for others to see and enjoy.

Thank you for making the difficult decision. I'm sure everyone is disappointed with the disruptions that these decisions are causing, but all you have to do is look to Italy and now England to see the impacts of not being proactive. This virus is not unprecedented, but our ability to get out in front of it is. Some of us may not survive the virus, many more of us will be financially wiped out by the decisions we have to make to slow it down. I may have however found the best way to get through this in the safest possible way. See the attached picture... and please stay safe and healthy!

Best wishes to everyone through this. Kudos to the Captain and everyone involved for having to make the tough call on HD. I do like the ideas from givergas and thrownchain...I’m in. I was just working on the Ace yesterday cleaning brake drums and making a new spiffy front number plate.
Keep calm and carry on !

International ride your Hodaka Day? I like it! You are on to something there Albert. I hope that this seed grows into something really uplifting for the Hodaka community.

Several excellent suggestions! How about pulling them together and creating the next Resonator? Post your ideas here or email/text me. I’ll try to coordinate “judges” where needed and special sections for related pieces.
If we do that, we reach all 300+ club members, not just the ones who follow this chat group. Give us all some healthy focus during otherwise frustrating times.

I always look forward to seeing photos of the event from afar . This is the right and only way to go . The aim for the older folk is to make through long enough that you are around when the cure is found.
1. It is highly infectious
2. It’s not going away
3. This is no joke

Keep as isolated as you can , please take care .

Bruce, you have a PM.

Welp, local district 7 season opener, both MX and hare scrambles, cancelled. Open track day - no racing. Here's my plan: Go over each Hodie with a fine tooth comb. Complete maintenance overview on each sled. Oil changes, filter maintenance, change out in-line fuel filters. Check all free-play mechanisms. Check chain and sprocket wear and chain stretch. Torque everything to spec. Check run-outs, spoke tensions and bearings. Heck, its not racing, but it is an opportunity go over everything, deal with all those little things I blew off whenever, and get ready. I'm also going to start a work/maintenance file for each bike. Its going to be a fricken Hodie Love Fest around here. Things are frustrating these days, but this won't last forever. Stay safe everyone!

I guess I,m "off the hook" for trying to get there on a 71 B+ for this year.
