1976 Desert Racing Magazine by the publishers of Dirt Bike

Cover: Andy Kirker, showing the form that has brought him to several overll desert wins. He doesn't seem to know a downhill from level ground; he landed 60 feet down this hill. Desert racers are a mystery. Even more so than any other motorcycle rider. The fastest among them cannot make a living at it. Yet all desert racers are, as are all athletes in every sport, called upon to take their sport seriously. They thinks and dream motorcycles, seven days a week, every hour of the day. Yet their dedication must be exactly and only that: Dedication. Even winning the biggest events only covers expenses for maybe a few races. And no one wins them all...

1974 Baja 1000 - a 20th century hare and tortoise story

God is Alive and Living in a Rock Pile North of El Arco...to put this year's Baja 1000 into perspective, consider this: Parnelli Jones drove a 370-horsepower full-race Bronco, prepared and navigated by Bill Stroppe ("King of the Road"), with Stroppe pit crews at each of the ten checkpoints along the peninsula, and got ten miles from the start at Ensenada before the rear end of his $30,000 Bronco broke and he retired rom the race...This year only 20 motorcycles accepted the challenge, 11 succeeded, and there were few bonuses. The first place Husqvarna 400 of Mitch Mayes and A.C. Bakken was the only contender in the motorcycle class to reach La Paz without breaking down at least once...(Pictured left) - Bruce Bornhurst hauls his Champion-framed Honda XL-350 over a crest. He teamed with his father Larry and Bill Isherwood to take fourth bike. (Pictured Right) The Honda 125 of Dick Miller and Preston Petty won their class, despite being "down" for almost six hours. (Other picture) - Wally Dempsey fire-roads the second-place 750 Triumph, with San Lorenzo Island and the Gulf of California in the background.

Malleable, adjustable, quick-change levers. 5-speed gearbox. 11.7 inch clearance. Steel rims. Knobby tires; 21-inch front, 18-inch rear. and stamina. Enough to make a mountain goat blush. Baja. One of the new breed of outperformers. From Harley-Davidson. Number one where it counts...off the road and in the records.

1966 Hodaka Ace 90 Conquers Baja - pictures, Vintage ad





1966 Hodaka Conquers Baja Vintage Motorcycle Ad available at www.DadsVintageAds.com

Another first! Hodaka conquers the Baja (un-assisted!) Hodaka was winner of its class in the 500 mile Greenhorn Enduro, the National Trail Bike Championship, the Pike's Peak Hill Climb, and now two Hodaka Ace 90's have become the first current model lightweight motorcycles to travel the 3700 miles of this tortuous peninsula, Baja, California and come out victorious. These durable Hodakas finished, running strong, without having received any outside assistance enroute...no parts dumps, no 'copter drops or nurse-maiding by 4-wheel drive vehicles... just two nervy young riders (Frank Wheeler of Lancaster, Calif. and Marv Foster of Yakima, Wash.) with "the shirts on their backs), a few cans of oil, and some spare engine parts in their backpacks (which were never touched). Wheeler had five flats from cactus needles. You get some idea of what we mean by Hodakability from the fact that Wheeler's Ace 90 carried over 315 pounds... Over twice its own weight, as he weighs 230 pounds (stands 6 ft. 5 in.) and his pack, extra oil and gas, etc., made 85 additional pounds. These were stock, standard Hodakas....There's one for you at you local Hodaka Ace 90 dealer.
