Post 'em at your local bike shop or decorate your garage, She Shed, or Man Cave.

And, congratulations to Rogenia Long and Ken Booker for their Road Toad picture submissions.  They were our poster photo contest winners.  They'll receive a 24 x 36 printed version of their poster for their efforts.

When you pre-register for the Bad Rock Reunion Trail ride taking place June 27th, don't forget to order your optional commemorative Bad Rock ball cap.

This cap features the Bad Rock 2025 logon embroidered on a quality "vintage mustard" colored cap.

You can order one (or as many as you'd like), when you pre-register, and then pick it up when you check in at Weston. These are only available to order when you fill out your pre-registration form.

You must pre-register for this ride. Sign up is now open for Hodaka Club members only and their guests at: https://hodakaclub.org/event-6138264

And... for the first time we're offering commemorative 2025 Bad Rock ball caps when you pre-register.  Specify the quantity when you sign up and pick them up at the ride.  These are only available to order when you
pre-register and will not be for sale at the swap meet.

Saturday night at Hodaka Days is auction night.  And unfortunately, our "regular" auctioneers won't be able to attend this year.

Are you an experienced auctioneer? Maybe professional? Maybe just for your church, school, or club. If you are, we could use your help.

We usually have about 12 – 15 items for the event and you’ll have an experienced, hardworking, and knowledgeable staff to display the items, watch for bidders, and keep track of the prices and the winners.

It’s fun and this may be your chance for your 15 minutes of fame. And, as an added bonus, you get to go straight to the front of the dinner banquet line, so you don’t have to rush through your dinner.

You'll have fun it and be rewarded with the sincere gratitude of your fellow Hodaka Club members.

If you can help, please contact Gregg Floren - gfloren@easystreet.net

Once again, we have procured a limited number of rooms at the Red Lion Hotel in Pendleton for Hodaka Days attendees. By using our sponsor hotel, you are adding to our collective bargaining power and allow us to negotiate for lower rates.

Not everything is going up! Rates for this year are less than last year- $99 for a single king or for a double queen + $10 for each additional person, excluding taxes. Reservations must be made by June 12th^st.

The hotel is located at 304 SE Nye Ave, Pendleton, OR 97801 and their phone number is (541) 276-6111 .

There is a restaurant on site, but it has been closed since the pandemic and may not be open by June. They do have a pool.

There are a limited number of rooms and the last weekend in June is a busy one in the area with the Jackalope Jamboree country music festival taking place on the same weekend 

Don’t wait. Book now and be sure to ask for the "Special Hodaka Days" rate. These rates are not available through the Red Lion national booking desk, but must be made directly through the front desk in Pendleton.

Representatives of the Hodaka Club met with the city councils of Athena and Weston this month and got a "thumbs up" to go forward with Hodaka Days and the Bad Rock trail Ride for 2025.

Make your plans for the annual pilgrimage to Athena and Weston this June 25 - 29.

And monitor the Hodaka Days News blog for official Hodaka Days updates.

See you there!

Two additional found items from the poker run.  A toad/squirt/03 Wombat spark arrestor and a mirror.

If you are the owner of either of these, please send an email to gfloren at easystreet.net.

Adding another item to the list...

A $100 bill was lost in the front (west) half of the city park near the creek.

I know Hodaka people are some of the most honest there are, so I have high hopes this will be returned to the owner.

If you found the bill, please send an email to gfloren at easystreet.net.

Also, we're happy to report the owners of the previously posted items that were found have been identified and the items returned to the owner or have been donated to the club by he owner.

Lost and found items from Hodaka Days this year:

1. Olive Green Jacket.  Size 2XL Long:

2. Modified (shortened) adjustable wrench:

3: Toolkit:

If you recognize any of these, send an email to gfloren at easystreet.net and we'll try to get them back to their owner.
