For some reason that Rebel makes me sad.
In its own way, it's a beautiful machine. Three years and eleven miles...oh, that hurts.
I see this so often. Time to time at various garages, there'll be an 80s small-displacement bike there, traded in or whatever...with a hundred or so miles on it Often times rusted out mufflers and whatnot...not from weather so much as incorrect storage.
Precision machine...made and then sold and then left to decompose, not even broken in. Even on my TW, I have 2000 miles on it, and the first season isn't even over. There's a lot to be said about the joys of a small bike...
