The Hodaka Club Forum

heard about this place with about 20 acres of cars,trucks snowmobiles, and bikes and assorted junk. had visions of a pile of hodakas but no go it was fun but a disappointment. well one more pile done

Wow! That's a pretty cool find, looks like the owner might need to utilize one of the many mowers. Cool Vespa too. Vespa's have done Baja and the Paris- Dakar before... so maybe a Hodaka-Vespa hybrid or something of the sort. The swingarm would take some thinking though.....

Man, I couldn't even recognize the brand of any of the lawn tractors. That's some obscure junk, but cool nonetheless. The Vespa might appeal to someone.

went to another pile of bikes and was over whelmed got a couple of blinker lenses and a exhaust pipe why i dont know . took the grandson with and there was a big ugly German shepherd junk yard dog he ran right up to grandson and i was going to clobber him with something but the kid scratched the brute behind his ear and ended up playing fetch with him the rest of the time best thing i saw in the last 3 weeks

It’s always a disappointment when you think you may be on to a stock pile of old Hodaka bikes & parts. It can almost make you cry when it turns out not to be true! Victor

What is making me cry are the ice tires in the bottom picture. Savage. Canada style.

got to go picking this last weekend. inside track on a 100 acres over 800 cars, trucks. buses , and assorted scrap . boy did i have high hopes could hardly go to sleep the night before . spent 2 hours scrounging around nothing no motorcycles at all . went back the next day with a buddy and found a Kawasaki might still go get it just to ease the disappointment . i did say i want first dibs on any bikes they find

It pays to check out old Japanese bikes just for the correct Takasago Rims. Yamaha AT1 And CT1 used the same rims that Hodaka did. The 1.85-18 rim is common on the CT1 Yamaha in 1971 and 1972 so you 93 Super Rat fans may get lucky. The date codes are kinda important to me and the older AT1 had 1.60-18 rims on both the front and rear. Nice for the 100B and Wombat fans. Joe
