Star of the motorcycle documentary On Any Sunday, which we watched yesterday at our First Annual SV&CR Wheels on Reels Film Festival. Guy seemed to win every type of competitive motorcycling that he attempted. Extraordinary. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Smith_(motorcyclist) |

No, a google pic. I've seen tanks like it on other high-back bobbers and really dug it. For example...  That ab-so-lutely rocks. I still love the look of a really stripped down bobber, they remind me of an early 20th century board racer. You know, one of those bikes that today cost a years's salary, and that's when you're buying it in three 5 gallon buckets. Bobbed750: Keep the updates coming on your KZ440. The better I get to know folks around here the more impressed I become. Anybody that can take a castaway and turn it into a ride... not many things cooler than that! |

I love the Hodaka tank. If you are passionate about your bike and it makes you smile then that's what this addiction/disease called motorcycling is all about. Just promise us that you don't sit staring glassy eyed in front of the bike using your scary voice saying "my precious" over and over. Ok guys,admit it. I know that you've done that yourseves.

For you kids, the Hodaka is more than a cool tank. It was designed in Oregon or Washington (state) by an American dirt rider that wanted a light, fast, and simple bike back in the days when I was young. They were fun. First the 90cc , then the 100cc, the hot 125, and the last a 175 and 250 in orange. There was a street and trail called the ROAD TODD in green. Art and action, the Ace with its chrome tank, red frame, and flip over backwards if you are to far back on the seat attitude.
Tell the truth, don't we all look at our bike with " that staring glassy eyed look'' after we have just finished working on it or after a great ride.
