An Athena business gave birth to the Hodaka motorcycle. Both that business and Hodaka are now defunct, but the spirit lives on. Hodaka enthusiasts from all over the United States come to Athena for the annual Hodaka Days; at least one owner has ridden his Hodaka cross-country for the event.

Bad Rock Trail Ride Opens Celebration

The annual Bad Rock Reunion Trail Ride is the only event that is open to vintage dirt bikes that aren’t Hodakas. Bad Rock is a 40-mile cross-country ride through the Blue Mountains. It starts at Weston, a few miles on the other side of the highway from Athena. The original Bad Rock ride in 1973 was more than 450 miles across the snow-covered Blue Mountains, and was a qualifier for the U.S. International Six-Day Trials team.

Hodaka Days runs June 23 through June 26 in 2011. Hodaka Days is sponsored by the Hodaka Club; information about this year's celebration can be found on the organization's website.
