Here is a "Motorcyclist" magazine article about the Rebel printed in 1986. Talking about the CLASSIC model.

Nice article, but too small for me to read. I bought a brand new '85 Rebel back in '85 for $1290 something. Remembering that Rebel is why I wound Up with another one. Jerry.


Well I finally read it with IE8, at 200% size.(I usually use Netscape Navigator 9.0.) Way to go Marcie. I wonder why they quit making the Rebel in '87. I don't figure it had anything to do with Harley, as it was only a 250. BTW, those are some nice bikes on the cover. If they made bikes like that today, it might even drag me back into a stealership.

If you have a wheel mouse, and a ctrl key, you can adjust the screen magnification on the fly in windows. At least with IE and firefox.

"If you have a wheel mouse, and a ctrl key, you can adjust the screen magnification on the fly in windows. At least with IE and firefox." Yes, you can. But even though I have a ton of freeware virus protection, crap still gets through IE and Firefox quite often. I don't think anything has ever gotten through Netscape. Being an outdated browser, people don't write viruses, spyware, and malware for it. My sister has a MAC, and hardly ever has problems, while my brother in law is running windows XP Pro with IE8, and has nothing but problems. These scumbags target the most popular operating systems and browsers, and seem to get through no matter how much security you have. I simply refuse to pay for Norton or Mcaffee, and their yearly updates. My employer uses these, and their IT department still spends about half their time eliminating viruses. Jerry.

Jerry, Fridg was suggesting a way you could read the motorcycle article. Don't think a rundown on the perils of using IE and FF was called for.

only way I can read these, was to download the JPG.s and view them from explorer, then I could blow them up enough to make out the print. Even then they are too fuzzy for me to read. makes my eyes hurt after reading a few words. I have Firefox and IE6 both at work and at home, cant read these pics in either one. both work well, no problems with spyware, malware, viruses etc. I tried IE8 last year at home, it was giant pile of dung, never worked properly, crashed, hung up opening up Google.
