UPDATE: Here is the previous post I had of this beauty from Dec 09. Man what a looker!
I'm sure I've posted this bike on here in the past but I don't have time to dig up the link at the moment.

Randy Martin sends in some pics of this very cool Hodaka Restoration.
He Writes:
A good friend of mine ( Boyd Thomure ) introduced me to your website and I think it is great. I have already spent too much time on it and want to see more.
I have spent the last year restoring a 1972 Hodaka Wombat as a replica of the original Prototype Red Wombat. When Hodaka built the Wombat and had it ready for a show they only had Red Paint in stock at the time, so the first bike was done in "Hodaka Red" Paint. All other Wombats after that were finished in Black.
When I was 14 years old my very first bike in 1973 was a Hodaka so this has lots of memories for me and my parents.
Excellent! Thanks!
I haven't done a lot of modern stuff lately. Not sure why. Reading these pages you might get the idea that I'm a bit of a vintage snob which is not true at all. Exhibit "A" below.
