Hi ... I'm Christy. I have a Rebel 250 that I feel so sorry for b/c I've had it for 2 years now and have barely ridden it since I got it. I'm getting back into riding it though ... slowly but surely. It was so sad b/c when I went to go start it up recently to take it for an inspection, after a while of letting it sit in the garage, it wouldn't start, and I had to get it all cleaned out b/c the gas went bad. Anyway, I'm happy to report that it is doing well now, and I'm looking forward to riding it more and more. :o) I've taken the safety rider course and I still have to get my endorsement on my license, so I'll be out and about soon in the general Clear Lake area ... so watch out for me! :o)
