I haven’t felt like posting for several days, but since I feel semi human today I guess I should post something new so people wont think I shot myself with my handgun.

I’ve been looking for a used Rebel, but every time we thought we found one it was already sold. We did find a used Suzuki 125 that was used in a safety course and has a lot of dings and nicks, but Bill now has it running great so all I need is an inspection.

I really don’t care if it’s pretty yet because that will come in time after I learn to ride a real motorcycle and change gears. I’m quite sure I may drop it a few times myself before I get the hang of things.

It was missing mirrors and front and back turn signals because that’s the first things they remove at the safety course. We bought second hand ones for now and even at second hand prices that was 80 dollars.

The bike cost 700 dollars so at that price I can still keep my scooter and if I want to upgrade to a sportster I guess we will just trade in both at that time because the garage space is getting a lot smaller now.

Bill is going to make it a bobber even though I will still keep my mirrors and blinkers almost everything else will be stripped. I want a trike seat that’s on springs instead of the original seat it has now.

I was worried about the weight of a motorcycle, but this one is only a 125 and it doesn’t intimidate me so I think it should do nicely to learn on. After Bill gets it prettied up I may not want to trade it in, but it is a 91 so who knows?

Below is the before photo and after I learn how to ride and he paints it and all the other cool personal stuff to make it mine I’ll post the after.
