Greetings from St. Louis, MO...

Hello all...

I'm from St. Louis MO.

I picked up a sweet black '04 Rebel 250 for my wife. It has just 96 miles on it.

The lady that bought it new rode it for about half a tank gas and then parked it in her heated garage.

My wife is signed up for Harley's Basic Rider's Edge course over Memorial weekend. This should be a great learner bike for her, she's 5'4" and she fits it very well.

I have a couple issues with it that I'll list under another forum heading.

Nice to be here.

Dan

PS: If anyone is interested in my hobbies or interests, please take a look at my Picture Trail albums in the link below.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a nice ride and a good bike for your wife, the riding course is a must for new riders.

Ride safe

Welcome. The Rebel should be a perfect fit for someone your wife's size. I'm 6' and had to move the pegs and controls forward to fit on it properly. It is a very fun bike to ride, and is not only freeway legal, but freeway capable, for when your wife gets some experience. Jerry.
