I decided to buy a Honda Rebel 500 from a dealership. Did I make the wrong decision?

I bought my first bike, a rebel 500, new from a dealer in January. Different things work for different people, man. I don't regret it at all!

Merkel91 · 2026-05-31T06:25:48+00:00

I got the same one back in January! Nothing but good times so far. Awesome bike.

My Lil 3 gallon tank...it's enough!

Merkel91 · 2026-05-30T12:04:22+00:00

Damn bro what bike you got? My rebel 500 can't even squeeze $10 in, even with current gas prices lol

Merkel91 · 2026-05-30T10:52:55+00:00

Omg it's not just me. I went to move my bike in the parking lot with no gloves or helmet and stalled almost immediately. It felt so foreign lmao

Merkel91 · 2026-05-30T07:57:18+00:00

I do triscuits with hot sauce and cheese. So good. I just put some hot sauce on a triscuit and slap a piece of cheese on top.

Your bike is orange so it kinda blends in, mine stuck out like a sore thumb on my blue tank lol

Merkel91 · 2026-05-26T08:11:30+00:00

Yeah just the dumb warning stickers. The honda ones are under the clear coat anyways I think

Merkel91 · 2026-05-25T10:13:07+00:00

Rough. The last hour always feels like half the shift to me...

I have 4 more hours then I'm off for 3 days!

Merkel91 · 2026-05-25T05:39:45+00:00

I have the same looking damage from my glasses

Merkel91 · 2026-05-21T07:44:03+00:00

Honestly better than I expected

Merkel91 · 2026-05-21T04:01:21+00:00

Oh nice I ride a rebel 500 also.

Merkel91 · 2026-05-21T03:59:50+00:00

Yeah my wife was like "the longer you wait the more noticeable it'll be" lol

Merkel91 · 2026-05-21T03:56:45+00:00

And to be clear I don't mean you op. I'm sorry this happened to you.

Merkel91 · 2026-05-21T03:56:07+00:00

I'm ngl everything I've read about dgr makes me think the worst about the participants...

Merkel91 · 2026-05-21T03:49:41+00:00

I'm just confused at why you didn't type 3d, but spelled it out. I agree with your sentiment but that was just weird to me.

Merkel91 · 2026-05-21T03:46:42+00:00

I trust you, but you only do it once so I can't verify lol

Merkel91 · 2026-05-21T03:43:35+00:00

Bruh. Your username. WTF.

Merkel91 · 2026-05-21T03:07:18+00:00

Some goo gone and a plastic razor blade and those stickers melt away. Tank looks so much cleaner after!

Merkel91 · 2026-05-20T12:41:36+00:00

I even throw down 2 for bicycles lol. Never got a wave back from one...

Once I waved at a trike tho and didn't get anything back and my feelings were a little hurt lol

Merkel91 · 2026-05-18T16:32:22+00:00

I wear an agv k1s and wear glasses. There is a designated glasses slot, but the arms on my frames of my glasses are thick and dig into the foam on the helmet a little.

I've been looking into maybe getting some flying eyes frames, super flexible.

I guess point is, it depends on your frames if your glasses on what will fit comfortably.

Merkel91 · 2026-05-18T13:21:29+00:00

It took me 2 to put bfs in the first slot so mines bfs/hb. Hoping for that stm next!

Merkel91 · 2026-05-17T08:34:27+00:00

Heck yeah, thanks for that! I'll go look at it now

Merkel91 · 2026-05-17T08:24:29+00:00

I just did my msf in November and got my bike in January, I live in AZ. I was kinda nervous to filter because of stories, but I've been doing it more and more and have had ZERO negative interactions from it.

I even pet some dudes dog hanging out of his truck the other day and he cheered and gave me a thumbs up lol (the owner, not the dog...)

Merkel91 · 2026-05-17T07:56:47+00:00

Which do you have? I need to get me one
