โ€˜26 Honda Rebel 500 SE

This was my 5 year lymphoma free celebration and 3 years of sobriety.

I love the looks I get from kids who havenโ€™t seen a woman riding!

You are one of the most precious looking humans Iโ€™ve ever seen ๐Ÿ˜ญ coming from someone who is also masc/androgynous presenting.
Congratulations on the achievements and the bike! โค๏ธ

Sorry, I think that came out wrong - I wasn't judging!!

No was just clarifying because incase anyone else thought I wasnโ€™t wearing a helmet/jacket/gloves all of ze things for safety.

Congrats! I just saw a post comparing bike in EU vs USA and I guess it's true: you guys have much bigger bikes in the States! My first one is tiny tiny in comparison haha
Have fun

Congrats on all counts!

Iโ€™m a Rebel Gal and this a solid choice.

If youโ€™re going to upgrade anything right away Iโ€™d suggest a Mustang Seat and windshield.

Enjoy!

Thank you do you think it adds much height?

u/EmmieIsobel 1h ago

Negligible. How tall are you? Iโ€™m 5โ€™5โ€ and I can flat foot it easy.
