Title: Re: Did Doug B, steal my life?... Post by Dave on 02/05/13 at 06:06:26 When I was in junior high.....around 1970, the local Hodaka dealer was Roy Lippiat in Salem, OH. If you wanted to race in the 100cc class the Hodaka was about your only choice, as Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda had not yet started building good Hare Scrambles or motocross bikes. Every bike he sold was burning Castor Oil.........and I still remember that smell every time someone mentions Hodaka! |

Post by Doug B on 02/08/13 at 12:52:18 Serowbot - you'll take your own life back when you make it up here to my neck of the woods(every late June for Hodaka Days) those early days bring back many fond memories - Dave - nice oil can - I'll never forget that smell either |
