The Hodaka Club Forum

Kelly Schenk called me and apparently Ben has a heart attack today and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup. He is going into the “cath lab” now. I don’t really have anything more at this point.

I just wanted to let people know. I know we will all be thinking of them and praying for Ben.

Gregg and/or I will let you know when we have more.

All our prayers go out to Ben and his family, this is a hard time and we need to do what we can. God is with you Ben, and he will keep a watchful eye out on you, lets all keep the faith . Bruce Young, Hodakapartsideaho.

Yes, we are hoping and praying that everything will improve quickly -- and that Ben and family will have calmness and strength to handle the adversity. We're pulling for you!

Monday 0900 UPDATE:
Ben is awake, resting easily, not immediately at risk. Headed for more diagnostic procedures, hoping to return home later today or tomorrow. Good news!

We seem to be at that age where we are hearing these things a lot more than we used to! Good luck to Ben! Victor

Best wishes to Ben!

As I was driving home from a meeting tonight, contemplating on several important topics - I had an AH-HA moment. While readily admitting my utterly amateur status as a health care provider, it suddenly became clear to me that Ben needs to ride more! How does that saying go? "A Hodaka ring-ding a day keeps the doctor away." (or something like that)

PS: Hmmm, I wonder if I could capture some Blendzall Super Rat exhaust perfume to send to Ben . . .

Ed you must have meant the fragrant smell, of freshly mixed Bardahl. I think we all need to ride more with Ben the Gentleman. ----------------Clarence

Good news! Ben is home, working on an article for a future Resonator!
If anyone out there has - or knows someone who has - a Cotton motorcycle, please let Ben know, as he's doing a piece on Cottons.
