DESCRIPTION:
The Combat Wombat, Road Toad, Dirt Squirt and the fantastic Super Rat are all covered in detail. The brand was also a pioneer in the trail bike world and a race winner in all types of off-road competition. The bike of choice for the hip young racer, the street-savvy hipster or the 14-year-old boy's favorite poster, these machines had colorful logos, advertising and terrific names. Written by Ken Smith, the editor of VMX Magazine and filled with the wild graphic design and style that made Hodaka famous, this book is a captivating, colorful look back at one of the wildest machines of the 1960s and 1970s.. More than 15 years in the making, this exhaustively researched tome contains all the details about the machines as well as a treasure trove of photographs, advertisements and graphics. Hodaka motorcycles were some of the most creatively marketed and designed motorcycles in America

Hodaka Lives On Webley Edwards This is a fantastic history of the Hodaka motorcycle. It has exceeded my expectations. The author has created an entertaining and comprehensive look at Hodaka through the '60s and '70s. Fascinating to read and well illustrated, sprinkled throughout with the marketing cartoons that made Hodaka so unique. I knew this book was going to be something special when opening the cover revealed an illustration from a Pabatco mailing envelope showing the view of North America from Athena. Move over, Texas.I bought a new Ace 90 in high school. Rode it everywhere. Later I bought a new Wom. The book is fun as the brand. Just a fun and entertaining book to read. If only they had books on other brands as rich as this one. The graphics and design is engaging and fun. The book captures the spirit of the brand. By the end of the book, you feel as if the hero of the story has died. If you're a moto enthusiast of any age, this is a keeper.. Benjamin Bissett IV said This is a must have for any vintage bike fan!. What a book! Bought this for my dad who is a big vintage off road bike buff after seeing Jay Leno feature this book/author on his show. With a unique captivating layout and subject matter surrounding equally unique bikes makes this a must have!
