I live in the greater SF Bay area. My husband just bought me this 2001 Rebel in November. I started taking the MSF motorcycle course. It thought it was very hard for beginners and the first day it was a grueling 5 hour class in 55 degree weather. I opted to continue the second part (swerving) when it is a little warmer and I have a bit more experience. Hopefully that will be in the next few months.  So far I have mastered Niles Canyon (Hwy 84 East). That was quite a challenge for my second time on a bike.  We had a HD Sportster Custom 883 on order for me, but being 5'2" and 135 pounds, it was like a big ole' monster to me-- the Rebel is just right!
It's all in the CONTROL!!!
