  • Remember to order your Bad Rock ball cap when you pre-register for the ride

    16 Apr 2025 8:04 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)


    When you pre-register for the Bad Rock Reunion Trail ride taking place June 27th, don't forget to order your optional commemorative Bad Rock ball cap.

    This cap features the Bad Rock 2025 logon embroidered on a quality "vintage mustard" colored cap.

    You can order one (or as many as you'd like), when you pre-register, and then pick it up when you check in at Weston. These are only available to order when you fill out your pre-registration form.

    You must pre-register for this ride. Sign up is now open for Hodaka Club members only and their guests at: https://hodakaclub.org/event-6138264

    You must log in to your Hodaka Club account to sign up as a club member.
    Pre-registration for the public opens May 4th.

  • Looking for a Hodaka Days Auctioneer

    31 Mar 2025 10:53 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    Saturday night at Hodaka Days is auction night.  And unfortunately, our "regular" auctioneers won't be able to attend this year.

    Are you an experienced auctioneer? Maybe professional? Maybe just for your church, school, or club. If you are, we could use your help.

    We usually have about 12 – 15 items for the event and you’ll have an experienced, hardworking, and knowledgeable staff to display the items, watch for bidders, and keep track of the prices and the winners.

    It’s fun and this may be your chance for your 15 minutes of fame. And, as an added bonus, you get to go straight to the front of the dinner banquet line, so you don’t have to rush through your dinner.

    You'll have fun it and be rewarded with the sincere gratitude of your fellow Hodaka Club members.

    If you can help, please contact Gregg Floren - gfloren@easystreet.net

  • Special Hodaka Days Hotel Rates for 2025

    29 Mar 2025 10:59 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    Once again, we have procured a limited number of rooms at the Red Lion Hotel in Pendleton for Hodaka Days attendees. By using our sponsor hotel, you are adding to our collective bargaining power and allow us to negotiate for lower rates.

    Not everything is going up! Rates for this year are less than last year- $99 for a single king or for a double queen + $10 for each additional person, excluding taxes. Reservations must be made by June 12thst.

    The hotel is located at 304 SE Nye Ave, Pendleton, OR 97801 and their phone number is (541) 276-6111 .

    There is a restaurant on site, but it has been closed since the pandemic and may not be open by June. They do have a pool.

    There are a limited number of rooms and the last weekend in June is a busy one in the area with the Jackalope Jamboree country music festival taking place on the same weekend 

    Don’t wait. Book now and be sure to ask for the "Special Hodaka Days" rate. These rates are not available through the Red Lion national booking desk, but must be made directly through the front desk in Pendleton.

    Adding another item to the list...

    A $100 bill was lost in the front (west) half of the city park near the creek.

    I know Hodaka people are some of the most honest there are, so I have high hopes this will be returned to the owner.

  • Volunteers Needed

    03 Jun 2024 8:38 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    Are you planning on attending Hodaka Days.  If you are and you could spare a little time, we could use your help.

    Hodaka Days has grown over the years. Attendance is up. More activities added and what used to be two and a half days, has now become four. With the additional activities and larger crowds, comes a need for more help.

    Although we have a dedicated group that toil year-round to plan and put together Hodaka Days, there is just too much going on for them to do it all.

    We need help! Can you spare some time at Hodaka Days to make sure we’re successful?  It’s fun. You can make some new Hodaka friends. And it can get you one punch closer to being a Hodaka “Iron Man”. What’s an “Iron Man”, you ask?

    Participate in five events in the next four days and earn yourself the distinction of being a Hodaka Club “Iron Man”.

    Eligible events include:

    • ·         Poker Run
    • ·         Trail Ride
    • ·         Parade
    • ·         Bike Show
    • ·         MX

     Or you can earn a credit for volunteering to help with an event.

    Ask for your Iron Man card and get it punched at any event. Then have the crew punch your card as you participate in additional events. After your fifth event, turn in your card for your Iron Man patch or, if you’ve already proved your mettle in prior years, you can get a “2024” rocker patch to go with your previous award.

     Below and on the next page is a list of the tasks we need volunteers for. If you can help us, please send an email to volunteer@hodakadays.org.

    Thank you.
