This is my bike

It’s a 2009 Honda Rebel 250. Some consider a 250 to be just a learner’s bike, and

not big enough for “serious” riding. If I were to ride coast to coast or some such, I

would probably want a larger bike for the smoother ride, and more luggage

capacity. For my purposes, this bike does just fine. It’ll go faster than I ever need it

to, and it’s easy on gas. Riding on the highway at 70 or so is exhilarating. I’ve

done some customizing: saddlebags, sissy bar, luggage rack, and windshield. I

also customized an old seat. It turned out to be more of a project than I had

originally anticipated, and the results were mixed. The modifications I made work

fine, but after riding on it for awhile I’ve decided that the original padding I built up

from is too hard. Seat Mod Round II should be happening soon. I had to buy a

sewing machine and learn how to use it in order to make the cover. Pictures of the

process can be found
