AlpineK Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I don't have a picture of it, but the coolest thing I ever road in was a 60s era Range Rover from the Tibet border to Kathmandu. The thing only had 2nd gear low range and high. I told the driver to shift up, and he said something like, "no good...only 2nd gear."

Couloir Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I didn't know they still made the Rebel. I had a 1984, which I think was the first, maybe second year they made them. I was young and I liked it. I liked it even more when the muffler developed a hole in it and started sounding like a Harley (to my ears). Which has always, up until recently, been my dream bike. A Fatboy preferably. And a bit older if possible, but I would have taken this in a heartbeat. Â Â But alas. I ride this on the trails: Â Â And this, for cross, which is RIGHT around the corner!

tvashtarkatena Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Nah, I've already got one of these: Â Â Shooting for 800+ mph. At almost 60 feet long, parking's a bitch.
