Super Rat gets some love in new Cycle World issue

Spotted this little article (below) while perusing through the July 2015 issue of Cycle World in the local library. It's part of a larger feature titled "Motocross Memories." Super Rat was the 1st entry among the 10 bikes profiled.

Here (link below) is the introduction to the main feature. Looks like they're profiling a vintage bike each Monday for the next several months. The Super Rat was first up.

I like it, The Super Rat is my favorite Hodaka! Something about the name, and how the name stuck in the article is interesting.

The picture of the Super Rat in the grass.... what is that next to the sprocket on the rear?
