My mother made the Death Valley run back in the early 1960s.

I used to live near Wash DC and every memorial day rolling thunder would ride through on their way into D.C. This brought back memories.

Biker tip. Add one of those black, metal paper clips that holds about thirty pages to the bike Perhaps on one of the cables. It works great to hold that pieces of paper you need to leave attached to your machine.

I have learned so much about my new rebel watching videos, i love that people make these videos ,it realy does help. Thank you!

Have mine next week thanks for calming my nerves 👍

Try riding a 650cc bike next. Going from a 300cc to an 800 is a big jump. Then if you really want an 800, try a Suzuki Boulevard C50, it's 805cc. I went from my 1st, which was a Honda Shadow 650, to the Suzuki. SWEET RIDE 😁, i still miss it. That "shakey/windblown/not enough power, on interstates feeling", will be long gone. It has awesome balance & foot pedestals, not pegs. I cried all day, the day I had to sell it. I don't know how tall you are, but I'm 5'6" and my feet rested securely on the ground 😉. I recommend this book to everyone wanting to learn to ride 👉 Proficient Motorcycling - the ultimate guide to riding well. I bought it, after dropping my 650 on my right leg, pulling in to fast at a gravel parking lot 🤣. It helped me so much!! I used to go to huge mall parking lots, early in the mornings, when it was empty, and practice, practice, practice. You gain skill and self confidence really well, the more you practice controlling your bike 😉.

My parents are still in blissful ignorance, and I'll leave it like that. I don't want them worrying about it all the time, nobody needs this level of anxiety for something that can't be changed.

But can you listen to music at the same time?

"This is the moment I wish I had the Harley." And so it begins.... 🤣

Will you do a video about turns? From a stop, a light, moving??

Highway to the friction zone!

Good job on the ride. You definitely need a bike with bigger displacement if you’re going on the freeway. We got the slowest speed limit in the nation and that motor sounded like it was gonna blow up at 55mph. Good job at not panicking with trash bag. I once had a couch pillow hit me on Kahekili Highway 😅 and like someone commented earlier… there’s nothing like getting smack in the head by a bird.

I’m 61 years old just got my license and a 883. I’m wondering if anyone has a hard time pulling in the clutch? I don’t know if it’s just a strength that I need to build up to or I’ll get used to it? I took a class and the bike they had us practice on was a rebel and that clutch was so easy. I love the bike never thought at 61 I’d get a motorcycle license ha ha. But here I am!

That’s a lot of bikes 🏍️ 😂

That's another achievement ticked off your list. Remember, you have just as much right to be on that tarmac as anyone else ! Maybe next year you will take part on the Distinguished Gentlemen's charity ride global event ? 🤔

Installed this on my Rebel 300, left baffle in, wear a full helmet. Pretty sure I have permanent hearing loss.... sounds horrible above anything but idle. It might be better on a 500 where the catalytic converter isn't removed.... but not for me. The stock 300 muffler with the baffle removed honestly idles about the same, sounds better through the revs, sounds better on downshifts and won't blow your hearing out.

You seemed to enjoy the ride more once you relaxed ❤

I have suggestions... You seem to be stretching to reach the bars.. try moving them back slightly (info the bolts that secure them to move then re-tighten) . Also, your great lever looks a little high in relation to your foot.. might be set a little high? Just my thoughts.. 😊

Well coordinated group ride.

Very demure.

I was going to go but I didn’t feel like dealing with a ton of people. You should try and attend gelato Mondays smaller group and gelato.

Nicely done, but I'm going to say it, you need a bigger bike. I once had 10 feet of shrinkwrap come off a tractor trailer I was passing on the freeway, there was no way to avoid it. It came right up over my windshield and wrapped around my neck. I looked like superman with a transparent cape until I could find a safe place to pull off. Oh and wait til a bird hits your helmet. 😉

Awesome video and great looking ride. Gotta work myself up to big group rides as my hubby is part of a Riding Club that do these frequently. Maybe not my first year but working up to it for next year!

0:36 For a brief moment I thought it was Vin Diesel.

You did great! You maintained a safe space and communicated very well. I hope you had a great time and partake in more group rides in the future. Should have kept that bag as a souveneir of your first group ride!

Great ride.. what mic are you using?

This group ride seems to be more coordinated than most but I still think they're dangerous for many reasons, some obvious, some not so obvious. I have no desire to participate in one. At least not one this large. I'm already putting myself at great risk by riding my motorcycle, why would I want to add more risk to the activity? I'm very glad your group was well-behaved and worked well together. We don't want anything happening to you! :)

Looks like everybody is well behave, no quads ,dirtbikes , everyone seems to have a plate on , no wheelies , stoppies or stupid stuff . They're still dangerous and you have to be extra aware of your surroundings. You did excellent , ride safe .

Your buddy in the front is scared shitless worried they might get hit from behind :0

Great 👍 video Rea, I could feel your anxiety lol 😂. Group rides can be dangerous. What was wrong on the front brake of your friend’s bike? 😎Dave H

A big group ride should definitely be experienced, but after doing a few of them, I learned that I prefer to ride with no more than 3 other riders, so 4 in total. I am glad it went well for you, and I hope your spouse was able to find what was wrong with his bike... Question: How did you guys get your bike to Hawaï? By boat, I imagine... how long did it take? Ride safely!

Im lovin' this video.

What mic did you get?

If all your worried about is keeping up then you don’t belong. Group rides are mostly a disaster. Some jerk always forgets to gas up. There’s always showboating that put everyone at risk. And breakdowns. Good luck 👍

Rather than a total change of bike, why not look to upgrade to the Rebel 500, you get the extra power and a little extra weight to the bike, whilst having the familiarity of a bike you love...then you could even upgrade again to the Rebel 1100.

Girly. This is a weird question but what pants are those? ❤ Excellent, super informative 💯 the most no bullshit video I've seen on this 😅 thank you

Just found your channel, fun video and you did awesome!

I’m getting my first bike and it’s over 1500cc 😩

i am 61 i started riding when i got a 1969 honda z50. i was 6 and have had some sort of bike ever since. i came across your vids when i was looking at some rebel 500 ones. Sometimes i like to watch and see what draws the younger generations into motorcycles

Tantalus is difficult, I'm surprised you didn't dump your bike. I recommend you check out Old Kalanianaole Rd by Waimanalo.

Thank you. I rode years ago. We didn’t need a course. I’ve been practicing on my 05 VTX 1300.

Hi , how did you manage to get your bike to your location , i imagine its away from home ... Ps loving your blog , am also getting ready to recieve my AJS Cadwell , i've only ridden autos so your blogs are of an immense help

This is great content .. I'm just hitting 700 miles on my bike about 2 months of riding haha..

I have a course coming up in a month. I'm halfway through the virtual online training (required before attending)... What got me interested in motorcycles was riding ebikes for two years straight. I do that literally everyday and feel that doing that is gonna help at least a little, however I'm not pretentious to assume I know how to motorcycle. I am well aware it is a different animal. I guess the two things that I'm anxious about are the clutch and gear shifting, as someone who doesn't drive a manual (and never has) I have zero experience with that. However a lot of people have said online or in person, "yeah I had zero experience and I passed, just relax, pay attention and focus." And in case anyone sees this comment, I paid $398 even for my two day course in Arizona.

Good vid, thanks a lot 🙏🏼

wow thats a hideous system. in the UK when you pass your test you leave your given a certificate to shop you have passed and legal to ride and you examiner takes your card licence and does all the necessary paperwork or online stuff and you get you updated licence back within 6 weeks. mine came back in 4 days

You have great taste in music

Thank you! I’m about to pull the trigger on this model. But just thinking of getting on the bike gives me anxiety but this vid made it look so much simpler therefore less anxiety and def pulling the trigger! Thanks so much Rea! Safe travels!

How tall are you? The honda is not a big bike but you make it look big so I'm curious.

Harley = trash
