     My feelings too guys, that's why I had to share it with you all. ;)
I remember back in the day, when the CB160 was more than a slightly smaller CB77 Super Hawk looking bike, it was a pretty good runner in stock form. Then, I see this one done up in such a fine fashion and said to be FAST too! :o ;)  Member over on hondatwins.com has it for sale.

My first bike was seized up 160. once we got it rebuilt, it was an amazing little speedster. A little iffy on the highway, though...

 I never had a 160, but that takes me back 40+ years to when I had a 150. AHHHHHH the good old days. ;D ;D ;D

That bike used to be owned by the actor/ex-professional skateboarder Jason Lee (from my name is earl fame). From what I head he is big into vintage bikes..

           Yeah, it WAS owned by Jason Lee, but it was build by a guy named Jay (calls himself "sportruck') and he SOLD it to Jason Lee. After a while, Jason wanted a larger bike and traded it back to Jay for a 550 that Jay also built. Matter of fact, Jay has it listed in the "For Sale" forum @ hondatwins.com. For the complete details on the bike, check in over at the Twins forum. ;)

          How about a CL77 305 (Streetable) Flat Tracker?

Uhh.  -What was the question?  Sorry, cool bike overload.  Thanks for sharing Bill. 

I think I remember a bike he built and had for sale a couple times.  Similar story that the guy he sold it to wanted to trade up or something.  Hopefully he's making money each time one of these deep pocketed individuals "rents" his motorcycles.

          Yeah, he should be making a considerable amount of money off of these bikes.

          Here's a photo of Jay with Jason Lee, the CB160 and maybe the bike he traded up to. I'm waiting to see what he'll tell me about the bike he traded for.
