Somthin a bit different

My buddy snapped a few pics last week while leaving from the local sports pub after the Hockey playoff games, thought some of you may enjoy seeing an old rare bike that is in its cherry form.

Me and my 69' Hodaka Ace - lol





BTW - its for sale...

I like it, although the seat looks all kinds o' weird with the clubman bars. You'd better start checking the eBay listings for a cafe seat pronto!

How did you know - lol

I have the original badges, just the right side one fell off so I need to put it back on - these things happen on 39 year old motorcycles.
As for the seat, yeh I was going to go cafe, but I was just messin around and put the bars on for awhile, Im going to back to the original dirt bars or something similar. Just a note, a traditional cafe seat is just a slimmed down version of the original, what you are referring to would be a GP seat like what we use on our Thruxtons, in which have become the "norm" for the cafe seats these days, anyhow, I am in no mind to cut down the original seat on this.


Thanks for the compliments and, well the not so complimentary posts - but what should I expect from here - post a mint 69 Hodaka for people to see in action instead of a cherry picked field and people post about attire - sheesh.

Thumbs up

That's a sweet-looking bike! Man, it looks tiny though. I'd feel like I was going to get thrown over the handlebars if I stopped too fast.
