Hodaka Days 2005: Saturday June 25 At The Park

Later Saturday night, Bob Canfield described
his experiences at Bad Rock.
According to Ed Chesnut, Bob was originally slated to be the pivotal character
in the movie, but broke his leg, so things got switched around.
And Stu Osborn puts it this way: "Bob was on gold medal
time at Bad Rock when he broke his leg on the rough
course, had to splint it himself and then rode
5 miles back to the nearest check for medical attention."

Reunion of former PABATCO employees
Connie Pine, Marv Foster, Doris (Coats) Thompson.

Roger Lippiatt and Ed Chesnut.

Presentation on Marketing and Promotions at PABATCO
(by Marv Foster and Scott Mayberry) drew lots of interest.

This year's Hodaka Days T-shirts honored 5 PABATCO-Hodaka
celebrities with photo graphics of yesteryear. Here, Ed
Chesnut needs help re-creating his "bike press lift" that appeared on one T-shirt.

Eventually he can SOLO!
