Hodaka

I think these were the finest little dirt bikes you could get back in the late 60′s and early 70′s. They were easy to maintain and work on and so much fun. I had the “Dirt Squirt” model and an “Ace 100″  like this picture I found on the Internet. I remember the company that brought them to the US was called PABATCO which stood for Pacific Basin Trading Company. Two motorcycle shops I worked at in the past (Gentry Cycle Center & Floyde Emde’s Motorcycles in National City, CA)  serviced and sold the Hodaka, so I was always around them in those days.
