« on: October 01, 2003, 01:32:41 PM »
I don't know if anyone cares to look at these pic's, But i was going through some old slides and happened on to these.

1970 my first dirt bike when I moved to El Paso! I was just learning how to jump my mighty 100CC Hodaka! :roll:

Alan :D

PS That makes me just about as old as the dirt I am jumping! :lol:

The Hodaka was a brand name, 2 models enduro, duel sport and moto x "Super Rat" both 100cc.

I have lots of old stuff some of it in my album "33 years in the dirt" including a video of my first moto in 1971 on my Montesa 250 capra. :lol:



The thing I find most interesting is the evolution of the 2 stroke.I grew up in Colorado and you could get your license on a scoter or motor cycle up to 150cc when you were 14. The 150cc assumed not more than 6 brake horsepower. That is a far cry from the power the 125cc bikes make today.

Alan :D

PS I just checked E- Bay There is a 74 Hodaka for sale!  :shock:

Not to mention the stock KX500 make more horsepower at much less weight than a VW bettle (not the new one, the one we all had in high school :lol: ) and the old Geo Turbo Sprint :lol:
