Thank you. I'd been looking for a while just to get an idea of what a Rebel would cost. So when this became available and I saw the condition and what the asking price was I did not hesitate. I paid $1400 for it and the previous owner included a cover and bike chain/lock. Even if I didn't want to keep the bike I could easily flip for a good profit. But I think the riding God's are making it easy for me to continue on my quest. Thanks!

You've been riding two months and are ready to "move up" a.k.a. get a bigger bike? The 360 would be ok IMO, but definitely not the Gold Wing.

The 360 is in pieces. I do have a 2nd engine for it. The GW is an older one, meaning 1100 cc engine. Not too heavy, but I do agree that it is a BIG step. Safety is so important. Better to go up to a 650 at best right now. Later with more experience, a GW or other would be fine.

I will post pics after snow here in Denver 1/5/21
I just bought a 2009 250 with 474 miles. Took me three weeks to break clear the carb, it was put away with gas. I plan to bobber it for mt Grandson. Unless someone thinks ts worth more to keep it as new, make me an offer. Blue bike.

It's your bike, your decision, you can do whatever you want to it.
I dislike bobbers myself, but many here have them. Several here are correcting the changes that the POs did to them & bringing them back into a closer resemblance of their previous beauty.
Please do not scrap any parts that you remove. Put them on the Classifieds for others to refurbish theirs. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
I've never seen a white 1986 Special Edition (let alone an 85?). It looks very nice!

Decided also share what I'm trying to do
I'm a beginner photographer. I like taking pictures of motorcycles. Last year, I discovered a new world of drone photography. I bought a miniature drone. Just for kicks. I am satisfied with the outcomes after the initial shock. I took a few practice shots. This one is the most successful. I'd want to know what you think of this.
Now I'm thinking about getting a full-size drone to take better photos.

cool effect with the sun dissolving the horizon

That is a nice shot with the sun coming up! Or maybe you're riding off into the sunset. Looks like something you'd see in an advertisement.

How do you ride and handle the controls? I know motorcycling takes 100% attention all the time. Or did you just have it in Hover mode taking pictures? I've never used one so I don't understand them yet.

Some drones can be set to follow you. You pick a spot, like the back of your head, and the drone will fly itself, avoid obstacles, and film all at the same time.
