A New Toy

It's not mine but I get to play with it...



2005 Honda Rebel my daughter just purchased.  Actually I found it for her, called the guy, checked it out, negotiated the price, and did everything except pay for it...;-)   
I don't know much about these bikes but I will learn.   I know it's a good starter bike for someone who is just learning to ride.  It weighs 300 lbs,  and packs a whopping 14 hp!   

It seems to be in reasonably good shape but has been sitting for a while and needs to be cleaned up.  oil change, clean the carb, oil the chain... basic maintenance.  It also has some surface rust which I tried cleaning in some spots and it looks like it will clean up nicely.  But it runs, everything works more or less as it should, has a new battery, good tires, seems like its never been dropped.  It also has engine guards which seem like a good idea if my daughter ever drops it.
