Right then. At the beginning of the year I got a Honda CA160 Baby Dream.
[IMG][/IMG]

She is nothing like as good as this picture. We are starting to spend quality time together on the workshop floor (ow err missus). So what do I call her, I cannot call her baby or dream as Mrs LOM would not be happy.

Spent far to long today drilling out the clutch casing screws that had not moved for many a year.

If it's a "CA" it usually denotes the American market, so the US version of mine was the CA95. I hadn't seen a CA160 before, is it an import? The CB160 was more common.

Here's a link to a brief history of the small Honda twins:

Yep the yanks had CA, CB and CL 160's we didn't get the CA. The main differences are the tin instead of chrome and a single leading shoe front brake. I bought it from the guy who bought it from the importer. It (she) came with the required paperwork. If you aren't wearing rose tints you can see there's a lot of work to be done.

Good evening. Was going to do all sorts today, then the youngest dropped off the youngest Grandson (8 months), so that went out of the window, had a good day.
