Came across the site from bolty.net. Just so you know where the traffic is coming from.
Nice bike, don't let the poor Rebel sit too long, it might get jealous. I just pointed my wife to your blog and she responded with "yeah, I know her from rebel250.com". My wife has an '86 CMX450 that is now purple and for some reason has a desire for a custom gel seat thanks to a forum member posting pictures... you don't know anything about that do you? :D
No matter what you ride, enjoy the ride. And remember, always keep the rubber side down.

I sat on the Rebel the other day after my hubby changed the shocks. It felt weird and I felt guilty. :-( Poor neglected Rebel. I'll have to take it out for a ride this weekend while the Beemer is being serviced.
That gel seat sure is comfy!! :-)
