The Hodaka Club Forum

I sold my last bike but never removed it from my policy, upon buying the Hodaka I figured I should update my insurance info, I didnt want to cancel the policy since I sold my last bike as I get a lower rate for having a continuous policy. But upon calling the state of Vermont (I have to go thru them to get a registration to get a title in PA), then my insurance company, then the local police (actually stopped at my house to verify the VIN), They all said the same thing "a Ho-whatt?" I remember back when I had my Road Toad in the late eighties Hodaka's were unusual, now even more so, you should of seen the look I got at the local "Cycle Gear" store I got when I was buying gear oil. The internet is a great addition to having a Hodaka, back in the day with no internet parts were scarce believe me.

how did the local police get involved? I just registered and insured my 03 wombat and I didn't get a visit from the police? lol and I'm only across the river in new jersey. Hey are you going on the trail ride in pa at the Allegany national forest sept 20. if your in Pa we'd love to have you Scott

In PA in order to title a bike you have to do a VIN verification by either state inspection mechanic, notary, or police officer. I chose the police as I wanted them to run my VIN to check for theft or other title info since I have none now. Now I just sent all my stuff off to Vermont, when I get it back I already have the VIN verification to PA title it. I dont know if I will be ready by Sept for my bike to be ridden yet, im planning a full restore once I know it runs well, and all the electricals are working.

just get it ride able do the ride and then the resto this way we will see it this year before and next years ride after. give us all something to talk about next year lol
