    RJ's just listed a Rebel 500.

    I have a cousin sitting on an 06? Triumph Bonneville he dropped and can't seem to get started. It'd be a good little project if he'd let it go, but I'm not sure if he's quite there yet. I know his dad wants it out of the garage.

    What's the difference between a bolt and a screw?
    First you screw, then you bolt.

    Lol. I never could find one in the end. Plus all the fees they would have tacked on left a bad taste in my mouth. What started as a $4000 bike ends up being $6000, no thank you.

    I see your tig skillz match mine. I can also see why you haven't replaced the tank, they aren't easy to find anymore. All rotted just like yours.

    How about a Honda 919? Considering selling mine, as something else has caught my eye

    Friend of mine is selling an 04 shadow 750. Can send you the deets if it meets "close enough" criteria.

    MT03 seems to be the only 300 class that is a twin? But the Honda has a countershaft. Suzuki doesn’t seem to have an entry.

    My daughter is 5’7 so these may be good choices for her.

    Re: WANTED: Bike For 1st Timer

    My wife has a 2022 Honda Rebel 500 SE ABS, mint condition, if I had to guess under 2k miles. Has a luggage rack on the rear fender with one of those high sissy bars for bags, a Viking swingarm bag, and crash bars. A couple more rides on the Iron 883 to know for sure she’s ready to move on and I think she’ll be looking to part with it.
