I am hoping this means you will stay longer when you come to visit. We are planting a garden. Come on down. I did not get to go see the Rebel for sale in Chugiak, Isaac....maybe I canb make it up there if a grandchild is born. I am pretty well booked up and engaged here and with all; the house projects, not sure I can swing $1800 even for a good deal. I LIKE the Rebel, though, and the one you found is really clean looking.If I do make it up there, I'll check it out.Am pretty sure it is already sold. All for now. Love, Pete Hey Lisa, Isaac, and All:

I don't know why I thought school getting out would make things easier. We have soccer four nights a week. I am also taking a technical writing course that doesn't help summer scheduling. Jon has been off during the week so the kids are covered plus the house stays clean and the lawn mowed. I hope to make it down to Homer before we head to New Hampshire at the end of July.

The Ninja 250 is another good mpg bike, but it doesn't have the sweet cruiser look of the Rebel. I'd imagine a Ninja does 65 or 70 mph no problem though, which is a struggle for the Rebel.

I'm half-looking for a new bike, but they don't all get quite the same gas mileage as the Rebel. I love filling up the Rebel - $4/gal vs. $5/gal isn’t a big deal when you’re only getting one gallon.

NOT the most fun i've had lately. anyhow, your project sounds WAY more fun...and satisfying. looking forward to news from ER, too...keep us "posted"...the org is so GREAT for that kinda news! more soon. been a loooooong day here, too. l,j pete…funny coincidence…just saw the wildberry tv ad, and jake and i were right next door there at the transfer station this morning with a pick-up load of flotsam and jetsam from the backyard. i currently have our master bath shower torn up…had a leak which ended up damaging the guest room ceiling. typical deal…thought it was the drain/trap, but it’s a pan/caulking issue…SO, took the door surround out and am regrouting and recaulking everything. ugh.
