If anyone out there finds and buys something off ebay or craigslist and needs in hauled from the north east down to York, I'll have room. Can be a whole bike or just parts. Contact me to work out details. Thx

A lot of chatter about this year's meet, got a few newbies going to attend, should be a good time if the weather cooperates.

I was hoping to start gathering parts to do a Super Rat top end conversion to my Ace. Might look for a few bits there. However, I have to find a few parts for the KDX first.

I'll have Sachs/ Penton parts for sale as well as Hodaka parts and motors for sale. I'll also be delivering parts and motors that have already been purchased.

Loading up tomorrow, headed out sun-up on Sat to be in York by 1pm or so, get set up and then hang out till they throw us out for the day. Figure out a place to meet for supper. Get some sleep, then back to the meet 7am Sun for a good day with old and new friends. Weather doesn't look bad. Should be a good weekend.

Another swapmeet in the books. Good crowd, good weather. Rick Mott manned the Hodaka Club booth, Stu Gillard had a video that was running non stop. A bunch of people stopped by to talk Hodaka. It was nice to see Paul Stannard out and around. Lots of Hodaka parts and bikes changed hands. Some was way over priced, and there were some deals to be had. Lots of stories to be told at and after the meet. Got to meet some new people, Steve drove down from Flint Mich with his son, met a guy from sw PA that has a SL that needs to be reassembled, and a few more. Also saw a few that I only see here or at Mid Ohio. Looking forward to next year.

Little side note; about York event, broke attendance records, record sales, ran out of vendor space, not all because of Hodaka People attending, but those that did go it seems had a good time.
Rick Mott, as mentioned, he sold a lot of items that where donated to his Hodaka Club booth, and funds collected will be forwarded to Hodaka Club, Again good job to all those whom maned Hodaka Club Booth, "Keepin the Brand Alive" Bruce Young

We have an unofficial tradition, the Hodaka people go out on Sat eve to a local eatery and just have conversations about their experiences related to the brand as well as the meal together. The bikes they have owned, the races, the rides, other owners they have met. Exchange info on what works and what doesn't. It's a good time and one of the "perks" of the weekend.
