I think this is what Dal is talking about, from https://ironandair.com/blogs/news/hodaka
"For 25 cents, readers could order a pamphlet — The Hodaka Story — that explained the company’s philosophy, preached about how riding should be fun and affordable and claimed that because the backcountry folks of PABATCO were riders themselves, they knew more than anybody about designing trail bikes."

Good answer Ivan. There were I believe three different versions of this pamphlet produced over time. Some black and white and one color.

I just looked in the files and found a copy Very good read 8 pages . On the front cover "The Hodaka Story" A picture of a ace 90, and rider with helmet. And a paragraph "The amazing history of the now famous Hodaka... and how a handful of cycling enthusiasts with faith in a idea produced one of the greatest motorcycles the industry has ever seen." The back page "Printed in the US For inclusion in your DEALER GUIDE additional copies available for $.13" each. printed early in 1971 also feature the Super rat and 100B. 3&3/4 X 8&9/16 mine is black and white. --------Clarence
