Your Motorcycle Is Meant To Be RIDDEN!
Not going to disagree. Midrange bikes are perfect for the street and love my CB as you know. This said, riding something a bit larger, definitely you do not need to use it to its full potential but if you're not fanging it on the street, the bigger engine can also make the riding more relaxed - at least that's how I feel on the odd chance I ride them.
owning them long term will definitely tempt you to thrash it though hahaha
I remember when China Bar used to be Harry Ramsden's overpriced fish 'n' grease, and Fort Knox was Winkel van Sinkel
Lmao
Is there a way how to connect it to a ps5?
No sorry
Looking to move to Melbourne my bro. Is motorcycle parking on the pavement is legal bro. Love ur rebel 500 btw 🔥
Oh hell yeah dude, come join for some rides when you get here!
Hoodies or stickers would be good
Noted
speaking of mech, I'dlove a sgt wombat keyring for my bike or maybe some stickers
Noted!
Ima eat him

I live down the street where that building collapsed on High St. The wind was so bad it kept me up all night. I'm glad I didn't go out riding the last week or so.
Oh jesus
Hello mate, im riding mt07 and its vrry good in city, but styling and looks of rebel is really going for me. But does it feel slow after mt07? Rebel 1100 is too bulky for my city with horrible hooorible traffic.
The 1100 really aint to bad tbh, if you have a full powered mt07 its gonna feel like less powerful vut seriously the 1100 is a fine commuter bike, it aint that much bigger lol
@@sergeantwombat thanks for the reply mate
Damn, Sarge, you nees to drop list of mods (exhaust especially!) in channel info :D too many vids to look for it lol
Two bros comp s for exhaust and a ebay mirror flip kit lol Oh amd vans grips :)
How comw you stalled around 3 minutes in at the stop light? Is your idle too low?
Nah i turned my bike off waiting for the green light 😀
😂 chasing the sun. Well you are in Melbourne 😊
Ofc
the bike is more Safer T_T
Id like to think so
Bike
Correct
Hands of the brake
Si
I hate street car tracks
Aren't they wonderful?
Motorcycles have ABS
Not all of them
@@sergeantwombat not all humans are morons either but here you are.
I dont really get your hostility but if your name suggests your from California then theres no point talking to you with your room temp iq
@@sergeantwombat Num num num your soul is delicious.
Goodluck finding it :D
Actually bewer motorcycles do have abs installed so in the rain or in bad weather the bike doesnt slide out from under you but it might cost extra to get abs installed in s9me locations...
We get it by law in aus
Bikes are arguably safer because everything is manual and you don't have as many "safety" features. All the safety features car manufacturers pack into these things desensitizes people from the dangerous 4000 pound 80 mph death machine they're driving like it's nothing. If I were one of those engineers, I'd be stripping all that shit out of there as soon as I could.
Yeah true
Wdym by safer? Cars literally protect you from losing a limb.
@@DavinSanota Not trying to be rude but did you read the rest of the comment?
@@blackburngaming8345 yes and it is so bad💀
@@DavinSanota How?
On a bike just try your best not to die
You try your best not to die while challenging death frequently
Absolutely lol
So basically bikes are more efficient
Yes
I would only do it if the traffic is still and only at 10-15 mph... Btw is that bike you have a honda rebel??
Yes sir
Well,its a cruiser,its suppose to look pretty,if you want a speed demon go get a naked or sporty bike 😂
I wasnt claiming to be fast lol. She may be a cruiser, but shes a tiny one at that haha
Slow Rider
Laws exist, aus doesnt like a man goes 3 ks over the limit lol
What if you sanded the new tire a little wouldn't that help with traction?
Extra smooth to make sure the water glides over it freely
What are your thoughts on ABS. Some people find the stopping power mushy.
Id rather have it then not have it but the rebels brakes are pretty eh at best anyway... cant buy new bikes in aus without abs anymore unfortunately
It’s a cruiser bike. Meant for people in the city “experience” real riding. It is what it is.
Cruisers are meant for them long distance experiences. The rebel is definitely a commuter over a real cruiser lol
I brought a brand new bike. and yes I found a patch of road where ABS was actually the worst possible thing to have. I took it off the road & into the ditch and stopped there as there was no slowing down on the road while it was covered in wet Moss, but as it came to a stop it slipped over, & scratched up the mirror and Factory Hand guard... So as you can guess, I couldn't have scratches on a bike with only 3000kms on it. so, I now have Barkbusters with the "Storm" covers & Africa Twin Mirrors. And looking into manufacturer supplied crash bars to make sure nothing happens to the plastics.
Well, shes been christened now at least haha
I got a V-strom 250SX, and to start with, It seemed pretty quick around town, It still leaves most cars behind. but now... I really wish I had gone for the CB500X instead. It would have scared me to start with. but what scares me more is how the light as hell engine allows the bike to get blown around in the wind more than a bike with larger engine. on the open road the 250 really struggles, but that's probably a good thing as it stops people from trying to go too fast for too long. the cruising speed is about 95km/h (105 on the speedo) and above that it gets real buzzy real fast, so not pleasant above the speed limit. and that's probably a well-executed plan to keep inexperienced people safe! while I agree now that the 471cc engine would be better. it because of the experience I have gained that I would be OK on it, but if I started on it? nah, that's crazy! The weight difference... It's down low, and not a problem if it weighs more down low, it makes it safer in the wind without being any harder to manoeuvre. with the centre of mas being higher due to the lighter engine... that's a problem. but the power difference... the less is much safer for an absolute beginner. while I often open the throttle and wish it would accelerate harder. it took me a few weeks to get close to being comfortable with the 26hp... 47hp would not have been enjoyable in those first few weeks!
My first ever bike was the rebel so believe me the 471 aint too bad to start on lol
MT-10... you know you want to! maybe an MT-09. but nobody would be upset if a Tenere 700 appeared, The ergo of an ADV is why I went for a V-strom 250SX... the lack of power, switchable ABS and Hazard lights are all reasons why I probably should have gone for a Honda CB500X. I prefer the look of a sports tourer more than ADV's. But the Subaru of the bike world can be a heap more fun in a lot more places than a Mercedes! Oh... the wind. My bike is very susceptible to being blown around. Thats another thing to add to the list of why to get a bike that has more weight low down and very little fairing. good gear stops the wind bothering you, so who needs fairing to act as a sail??
decisions decisions
I got caught in a freak rainstorm in the weekend. I had my Motodry jacket on (chosen for the fit... not the price. don't judge) but that was the only rain resistant gear. otherwise it was summer gloves, and Denim pants. and full-length touring boots, but that's normal. The rain was quite light when it started, and I thought, at the open road speed, I'll dry out fast enough. so I didn't stop and put my wet weather gear on, even though I had it on board. And then... it pelted down so hard it felt like Hail, I saw a deep patch of water on the road, had time to think "I'm maintaining my line" then I got a huge Aquaplane sending the rear wheel into a crazy spin and the revs went to the limiter (in 6th) for a second before regripping... but the worst part, I was two hours from home and my crotch was still soaked when I got home!
Yeah sounds close to what happened to me last wednesday haha
@@sergeantwombat Considering I'm in new Zealand... with the time it takes to get across the ditch, it may have been the same storm!
@@3GingerCats maybe!
Talk about the golden hour.
Was a lushly timed ride hey
You're restricted for 3 years? Damn! Can you het past that if ypure older or something? Luckily, still being able to ride a 500cc is still pretty good. How the hell did you get from Australia to a Mexicam movie? Its completely orange! I also didn't think smoked meats would be a thing people get into.
Were restricted to 660cc but all full power 600+ get limited and 600cc sporties are just banned... and no 2 strokes.. Cant get past the 3 year restriction unfortunately... Smoked meats go hard 😅
@@sergeantwombat 600cc sporties are banned but the R1 is available? 🤔
@@Dexx1s as in when restricted license" you cant ride an r1 legally lol
@@sergeantwombat ...Ooohh, now I get it.
That thumbnail goes HARD!
Yeah timing was perfect
I have 9 months till my big license so amped , the bike are so much more better priced compared to lams .
Yeah lams prices are fucked lol
There are plenty of videos on you tube mate 😊 You might took at American BBQ programs, when it comes to smoking meat, thry are great. There are many on flavours and the best ways to prepare the meat. Some great videos on making jerky as well. Might be a good idea for a Chocky Milk Squadron run? Bring your own meat and milk 😊
My smoker is small hahaha id be smoking for half the week to provide meat haha
@@sergeantwombat we are talking g of the future....look at it like going from p plates to unrestricted liscence. Start small.... think big. 🤔
@@lesgillard985 can only get better
Damn, the sky looked amazing !! What a great ride that made!!!! Smokers are great! I just bought one, 2 days ago, but, have not yet used it. This weekend will be first attempt!
Lemme see some pics in the discord and keep me updated!
Also hell yeah sky was lush
🤩
😁
After 1400km had to replace rear tire and chain!
I replaced my chain at 24,000kms lol, my rear tyre needs to be changed again tho
Pop it into neutral lmao gonna wear out that throw out bearing
Im sorry what
@@sergeantwombat he was holding in the clutch in gear, putting pressure on the throw out bearing. I personally shift into neutral before I even stop makes your hand a lot less tired 👌
@@Soeks77 defo not the end of the world but staying in gear is a pain some force on themselves lol
Yea, in the 14 seconds it sits there. Keyboard biker.
@@WolfinWolvesClothing713 if this rider does that at every light it will damage the bearing lmao as pressure it applied to it for very long intervals of time.
hey wombat, may i ask whats the name of the upside down mirrors? i think they look rlly cool but i cant find them anywhere that sells it.
Thats cuz theyre stock ones lol, just go on amazon or ebay and search a rebel 500 mirror flip kit
I haven’t had the opportunity to yet…lol. I hope I never get pulled over on the bike.
Depending on cc you might never have the opportunity to
@@sergeantwombat we have the same bike. I almost got clocked going 100 mph in a 65, but either the cop didn’t see me, or he felt like being nice… 😅 Haven’t gone that fast since.
@@stephen2wheels cops dont tend to chase bikes sending it lol
What about 1100
The 1100 is fantastic if you can afford it
Bro what McDonald's doing

4 grand nice one man, keep going. 🎉🎉🎉
Cheers mate, we aint stoppin 🫡
The tiny p*nis part sold me the bike lol, I have yet to pass the license here in France but I always wanted to ride a cruiser since I was a kid. that’s the only kind of bike that I want, I want it to chill, to enjoy the road. I was wavering between this one and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 but I think the rebel 500 will be my first bike once I get the licence ^^
The eliminator is kawasakis cheap copy of the og 😅
would be the perfect bike for me but it sounds horrible and good slip ons are illegal in europe, the ones that are legal barely change the sound
slip on's are barely legal anywhere haha, a good baffle makes a difference and can make a sewing machine sound good!
@@sergeantwombat this is only the case with the rebel for some reason, other bikes have a wide variety of legal slip ons that comepltely change the sound for the better, seems like the honda 500cc is hard to make its sound good, its literally the only thing that keeps me from buying it, the stock one make it sound like a moped
@@sharkpyro93 im sure theres a few out there, remember the 180° crank is very bland anyway for sound
