Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight.

No matter what marque you ride, it's all the same wind.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Pictures of your Rebel are required.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

:welcome2: Erin to the community!! Glad you took the time to join us and spend a bit of your day here too!!

That is a great looking bike and your smile says it all about riding! :D How was your first ride? (you are feel to start a blog here as well in the Blog Forum if you want to share your experiences).

About the avatar: I think the small one is just a little too wide, try re-sizing it to 117 pixels wide and uploading it again. :D

Welcome!!

Thanks Mike! I'll try that, but not right now, because the sun is shining, and my bike is calling. :) Just checkin' here before I head out.

Now...I'm on a Triumph Bonneville. I also have a Suzuki Gladius in the garage but I need to sell that one. After the Rebel I moved to an SV650, then got a Piaggio MP3 scooter... the Bonneville is most like riding the Rebel, and I think this might be *the bike.*

I hope.

I have Fickle Bike Syndrome ;)
