 HODAKA DAYS BIKE SHOW:  Bring your cherry, original Ace 90… or your weird and wonderful custom Hodaka chopper… or your 50,000-mile road rider (that still runs!)… or your pristine, lovingly restored, museum worthy Super Rat… or your cool, belt-drive Hodaka-powered mini-bike… or your Mil Spec Combat Wombat to share with your fellow Hodakaphiles!

Our most celebrated and knowledgeable creator of special, one of a kind Hodakas, Lee Fabry, has stepped up to take leadership of the Saturday bike show.  You have likely witnessed his talent for details in his professional bike builds and impressive show entries. After dominating the show for years with his amazing creations, Lee will be contributing his discerning eye deep technical knowledge to the displays that Joyce Dunning and Dale Dvorak have orchestrated since 2013. We hope he will be able to bring some of his “builds” for display and inspiration.  If he has time/space - to bring his custom bikes -they will not be entered into bike show competition, but will be available for inspiration

Service Seminar - Two Stroke Basics and Troubleshooting by  Eric Jensen

As Eric himself tells it, “At 18 years of age, with a $600 investment, I had a crate of Hodakas (two bikes), a parts kit, a business permit from the city, and a hole in the pit of my stomach” as he became a Hodaka dealer! This was the beginning of a career devoted to motorcycles, riding (multiple Baja 500/1000 and other desert wins, capped with three ISDT medals on Pentons!), operating Super Cycle in SoCal, and along the way, designing and producing a  veritable bevy of special, high performance Hodaka parts, including a large aluminum square barrel cylinder, radial-fin head to match, and his own pistons, along with the usual porting, hop-up, pipes, suspension and engine services for every brand he sold.

 Friday afternoon will provide an opportunity to enjoy an open discussion under the trees in Athena Park with one of the most creative, engaging Hodaka legends.

So… June 23-26, 2022… be in Athena or miss all the fun!
