There was a motorcycle called the Combat Wombat. Behind it was Shell Oil. Hodaka bikes were imported into America by a small trading company in Athena, Oregon — population under a thousand — whose corporate parent was an oil giant. Simple two-strokes with absurd names that kids could ride, drop and fix. And it didn’t end because they stopped Selling: Shell offered to buy the Japanese factory, the factory said no, and that was that. #OneLungRacing #2Stroke #Hodaka #CombatWombat #SuperRat #DirtSquirt #PABATCO #TwoStroke #VintageDirtBike #TrailBike #MotorcycleHistory #VintageMotorcycle #Oregon #70sMotorcycle #ClassicDirtBike #MotoHistory #BikeLife #MotorcycleLovers #LostBrands #RareBikes #Enduro
