This is what I have been up to.

Just restored this CB 160.

And a peek at something else I am working on.

Tools, the CB160 is stunning! Just my thing, as a VJMC member. They may be small but they sure put a grin on your face. You've done a great job on that one. Are you still hunting for original shocks? I know they're as rare as rocking horse sh*t in the UK.

Nice, very nice. That bike looks immaculate. I don't know if you do bike shows, but that should be a shoe-in for top place.

The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

Sharp job, and very nicely done! I'm going to have to find a small bike like that...maybe a CB200 or something. Shoot, a little TwinStar might be fun too.

A while back, I found an original owner's manual for the CB160. It sold on EBay for about $10. I wish I knew you were working on it. I would have sent it to you.
