Rebel rouser!

I really shouldn’t be enjoying this motorcycle as much as I am… but I am. These sorts of flashy cruiser trinkets aren’t normally my cup of Siam, but this one is.

I mean, I’ve really enjoyed cruisers of a certain type. I’ve even been surprised by how good they can ride, handle and perform. Sometimes they’ve had real character, too (even if they weren’t air-cooled or from Milwaukee), but I wasn’t expecting too much from Honda’s ‘big’ Rebel – and that was wrong of me. My smile is matching my post-middle-aged spread. And that’s really something… and that’s really wide!
