Help Me Identify My Dad's Honda In This Image

Post by Lightyear68 » Sat Oct 12, 2013 1:09 pm

I'm new to the Honda forum and even newer to the Dream bikes, but I'm thinking the members here are the most qualified to help me identify my Dad's bike model and year in this photo. The photo is dated October 1969, but similar bikes on Google images look like this is maybe a 1965 Dream?

Yeah...that's me on the tank in 1969...

Ignore the Tiger stickers. My Dad was a subcontractor for Exxon and we had those Tiger stickers everywhere.

I don't know as much as other on this forum but I think it is a 160cc dream, known as a Baby Dream". As best I know the 106's had the chain guard on the left side.

It would have been "ESSO" back in 1969. You know... "Put a Tiger in your tank"!

I don't suppose you are lucky enough to still have this bike?

Now working/riding on my 1965 CA77 Dream...

Sadly, no. I've ridden all sorts of minibikes, dirtbikes, and streetbikes over the years, and a Harley now, but am beginning to understand the attraction to these Dream bikes. I might buy one to fix up if I'm lucky enough to find one.
