AlpineK Posted September 12, 2007 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." Quote
Couloir Posted September 12, 2007 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. But alas. I ride this on the trails: And this, for cross, which is RIGHT around the corner! Quote
Sherri Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Coulier, A good friend of mine has that exact bike(the Harley). It is a beaut. When it idles, it says, "potato, potato, potato..." I ride a 1990 Harley Sportster. Edited September 12, 2007 by Sherri Quote

Fairweather Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 NOT safer than climbing. That rear caliper doesn't look well braced. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted September 12, 2007 Author Posted September 12, 2007 Well, if it's safety you're after.... Quote
Fairweather Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Well, if it's safety you're after.... Chain? Belt? Shaft? No...Newton's 3rd law. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted September 12, 2007 Author Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) And if that doesn't quite get you to work on time.... Edited September 12, 2007 by tvashtarkatena Quote
Fairweather Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Thinking about buying this as my personal FS closure unlimited access gate-buster pass: Just roll it off the back of the Toyota pickup and up the Middle Fork I go! Quote
Fairweather Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Car/Motorcycle hybrid: I hope no one was hurt! Quote
Fairweather Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 how much are those things 2K new...cheaper on Craigslist or EBay. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted September 12, 2007 Author Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Nah, I've already got one of these: Shooting for 800+ mph. At almost 60 feet long, parking's a bitch. We'll see. This thing only puts out 52,000 hp, less than half of the 130,000 hp of the twin engine monster above that broke the sound barrier. Edited September 12, 2007 by tvashtarkatena Quote

Dechristo Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I haven't found a downside to riding/owning this thing yet. Quote
