This entry should be posted several weeks ago, but due to my busy skeds, this is the only time I got to post it.

Happy Hodaka Days? What’s that? First of all Hodaka is a vintage motorcross bike (Kit has one – Hodaka Super Combat). Hodaka days is the event that Kit and I attended on July 28-30, 2006, it was coincided with the Vintage Motorcycle Days, held in Mid Ohio Race track.

We had a great time camping, even though I forgot to bring the camping stove! Yeah, I forgot to bring one of the most important gadgets that we need…I even forgot the pot to heat water! Thanks to our camping neighbors who were always there to give us a helping hand.

 

 

It was a trip from hell! on our way there we were bombarded by a storm, by a ridiculous traffic in Columbus (and I thought that Louisville has the craziest drivers) that almost ended in a collision accident. But after that, Murphy’s law never failed us…Kit’s bike won’t start! It’s like it has a gremlin or something…it just won’t start!

Kit has been waiting for this for a long time. He thought that he could race again, but his Hodaka Super Combat failed him :-(

But aside from all the mess we were in, we still managed to have a great time.

We took tons of photos and document the events with our trusty handycam.

Those three camping days were an advance gift for me, I was itching to go camping! (even thought Kit won’t believe me,hehe). I was also extra happy because Siege was there, he’s a motorcycle enthusiast and at the same time an artist, he makes real cool vintage shirts design. Kit got me 2 shirts, something that I really wanted for a long time…at last a Hodaka vintage shirt!…Really, awesome birthday gifts!

And then on our way home, Murhpy’s law striked back! There’s a a big gap on the interstate highway because of road construction, that we had to make a ridiculous detour. That detour almost got us lost! It’s like we just went on a circle…what a waste of gas! But i’m glad we got home safe. We were exhausted! took a shower then went straight to bed.
