I’m 56 and just got my M1, your videos are so inspiring to me..what a woman!! Thank you and please keep making videos. I’m a truck driver and looking to put some fun into my life. I love your videos and personality 👍

It was a joy listening to you and watching your video. Very fine woman rider.

¿Se puede poner la cupula con el carenado negro de serie o es obligatorio quitarlo?

I have installed the puig 9462 but the cowl I had to remove it because it didn't fit. What changes did you make? Didn't you put the spacers on the fork?thankyou

Would have been nice to mention the size of the Hex used for the top bolt

Just installed the 9462F variant of this windscreen, perfect fit with the cowl on the 2024 Rebel. Left the cowl on during install, no need to remove it. Just the 2 bolts on the top side of the forks. Super easy install. Thank you.

Im 67 and going on lol just purchased the CF Moto 450cc MT. Im so bloody excited! Havent riden a 2 wheeler since 1978! I lost my husband/best freind less than 12 months ago, this change in direction is to keep family at a distance because they have seriously distorted views on healthy aging and what I should do! If I can still live and work on my isolated property in the outback without their help. Riding aventures with old and new friends seems like the best rewards for a lifetime of hardwork. Thank you for confirming age is but a number, your health is everything and gives you many choices, ride on! ❤

Legend. My main concern with installing a windshield was finding one that fits with the headlight shroud. Problem solved i guess. Thank you.

I was 60 and so scared. I didnt get out of the parking lot for a month. Now my husband and I go on rides together and are planning a 3 week trip for next year.

I’m 48 and you literally inspired me to buy a motorcycle! Now I need to learn to ride it.. keep the content coming

The engine brake is going to hurt u...hold the clutch and brake softly

Well you've inspired me to start 2 wheeling again after 35 years. Just bought a Honda Rebel 500. Will be delivered on Thursday!!!

This video is amazing, exactly what I feel and need as I am going through exactly the same stage of my riding learning curve on exactly the same bike with exactly the same thoughts! ❤

Liked the video. Was wondering if the dent on the gas tank was made before or after the engine guard was installed

Heeey, Anita, girl!! 💛 I'm so happy to see that you're still on two wheels and motovlogging!!!!!!! You've got yourself an Insta 360, and you are DOING IT, honey. 🤗 Receiving this alert made my morning today.

👍

Hi Anita, Im watching your video cause I just got a Honda Rebel 250 and am installing new bags too. I havent taken my class yet but found this sweet bike and had to have it! Im 65 so in the senior class too!

You have a beautiful voice, Miss. God bless you.

Excellent job

Hi there, I'm from the Bay Area the Mission and 24th street as well.....I'm a 58 year old female always wanted to ride a motorcycle...hopefully soon.

You go pretty lady ride on

Hi just came across your channel. Just wanted to know whether you have purchased louder pipes so ppl can hear you 😊 Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺

Thanks for the video! Do you feel like this windshield really helps deflect the wind? I don’t really like the look of a windshield on a rebel. I can’t decide if it’s worth adding it or not.

I watched a video of yours when I was shopping Marketplace for a Rebel 250 and thoroughly enjoyed it! I am also starting out as an older lady rider at 57. Anyway, this video came across my feed and I have now bought a Rebel and we are twins! Love the red ones! Nice job on your ride and feedback on all your gear. 😁

I collect my Honda Rebel next week and I am 67. Well done Anita🥳

I think you got this.The sportster is just a bit faster and a bit heavier.Give it some more time you will get used to it.Go to an empty parking lot and practice so you can get used to the weight and torque also the friction zone.

Listening to you upshift made me giddy. 😄😄😄 Ride, Anita!! Ride!! I see that your uploads have slowed. How can we encourage you to get back out here? Tell me... how can we support you? 💛

I thoroughly, thoroughly, throughly enjoyed watching this!! What a pleasure!! 💛 PAH-LEEZE, keep vlogging. ALL of us girls need to see you out here. Imagine how excited I was to learn that Killswitch Queen is YOUR baby girl!! 🩷🩷🩷 Keep rolling!!

Do you remember which windscreen you got that fits over to cowl?

Great video. Nice looking bike. I really like what you have done to it

being over cautious will keep you alive. if your too hot, take off your gloves. crack your visor 1/2 inch, you can take your jacket off, if you dont have a place to store it, you can fold it a bit, lay it over the seat behind you and sit on it with the back part of your butt. carry bungie cords for times like this. a hi vis vest is a great idea. you can buy them from home improvement stores for around $10. well worth the investment. ive been riding for over 50 years. allways wear your helmet. i enjoyed the video.

Thank you so much for posting this video. Did you have to remove the cowl to install the windshield? You did in the video, but I'm not sure how you got it back on

I am a 71 yr old 57 yr rider. I am not a hater. Glad to see a rider. First...either pray for God's help or curse. Doing both doesn't work. Riding isn't a soap opera. I have seen only 3 of your videos. You are making the same mistakes over and over. That doesn't translate into becoming proficient. Your situational awareness is terrible for a two or three year rider. NEVER pass a van on the side in an intersection. People try to beat vehicles by turning across in a left turn. They can't see you so you die. You seem to depend way too much on others. Ride like you are invisible and naked. I wish we could talk on the phone. You would like me. Women like me. Ask my wife of 47 yrs. I live in Northeast Mississippi. If you can, contact me. Otherwise watch Moto Jitsu, MC Rider, Jerry Palladino. Hire someone tough to teach you how to ride. Not your daughter. You are manipulating you controls, so that is a start. Spend some money on a REAL mc teacher. I am not angry. I don't want you to die. Not everyone can ride. There is no shame in quitting if it's not for you. You need a teacher to get you out of your head. You are your own worst enemy. I wish you the best.

I'm glad that you were able to start riding. I hope that you still are. Don't turn the engine off, with the key. Use the button. You turn the battery off, with the key.

It is so exciting to see women getting into ridding. Here some suggestion from a 73 year old guy. When you come to a stop only put your left foot and keep your right foot on the rear brake so you don't roll back words. If that is a little scary find a open parking lot and practice doing it there. I don't know how many other women you might follow on RUclips but here is some that might be helpful. Check out Doodle on a bike or As The Magpie Fly's or Jerry Paladino or MCrider or Moto Jitsu these last three are instructors that have books you can buy with exercises to practice. One more good one is Dan Dan The Fireman. For the heat you can buy mesh Jackets and wear a cooling vest that you soak in water and put on under the jacket. Keep ridding and enjoy!

“Conquering things I didn’t think I could conquer. “ That’s how I feel every time I get out on the road. I’ve been riding for a few months now.

YOU DID GREAT ANITA I JUST BOUGTH A HONDA REBEL A FEW WEEKS BACK AFTER TRADING IT FOR MY HARLEY DAVIDSON STREET GLIDE FOR MY AGE IT WAS GETTING TOO HEAVY IAM JUST LIKE YOU OVER 60 AND IAM GETTING USE TO THE HONDA REBEL WHICH I RIDE MOSLY EVERY DA FOR PRACTICE, IT GIVES ME A LITTLE BIT OF NERVES BUT I DON'T HESITATE AND THE MORE I TAKE A SPIN WITH IT I LOVE IT. KEEP UP THE GOOD SKILLS. MANY BLESSINGS FOR YOU.

Do you have the number for the screen that fits with the cowl in place. TIA

Tnx for sharing this. Been wanting to keep my cowl as well

My wife started riding street bikes two years ago at 58 and is doing great. To anyone going through this phase in riding. Don't be discouraged. Take the course again if you feel like you might benefit from it. Then, stay in that parking lot until everything is automatic, requiring no thought to make the bike go wherever you want it to go, no thought to leaning into a turn, and learn hard braking in a parking lot first! This will take most of the fear away. Then, get out in the street only after mastering the bike and listening to good information like Jerry Palladino and McRider on RUclips. These guys could save your life. I have about 80,000 miles on street bikes. I thought I was a decent rider, but I learned so much from them! It's always good to have one, and only one experienced rider with communication at first, so situations can be talked about while riding. I did this with my wife when she started. Now we both call traffic out, reminding each other of the danger points the other may not think about... so she talks a lot LOL. My wife and I have never had so much fun together. Funny thing, when she got her endorsement, of all the GUYS there, she did the best on the riding test and most of them were on smaller bikes than she was LOL!

Hey, praying is always good! I like it! You are an inspiration to my wife who started riding almost two years ago on a Vulcan S, Another fantastic bike to learn on and stay on after the learning. She has now had a Vulcan S, Honda VTX 1300, KLR 650, and her favorite, Suzuki V-Strom 800DE. We're getting into Adventure riding. All her riding, about 8,000 miles in two years. She has really found motorcycling a release, and mental exercise and enjoys it so much! She has done a lot of parking lot practice and has had a lot of fun doing it. You can't do too much parking lot practice. She's to the point she can scrape the pegs whenever she wants, yankin' and bankin', practicing hard braking... LOL. I'm so proud of her! Not many better teachers out there than Jerry Palladino and McRider. Watch their videos for great pointers and training we all need to do if we're going to keep the greasy side down. You won't hate turns anymore and it makes those parking lot maneuvers easy. Your videos are good! I hope you start again. There may not be a lot of subscribers, but the people that are, really appreciate it!

Thank you for sharing your experience and your honesty, I have only been riding for 3 months and always get butterflies in my stomach every time I ride! I picked my Rebel 500 up from the dealership yesterday and boy was I nervous on that first ride home 😅

I love the video. I think it feels more relatable than a lot of the other motorvlogs. But the countersteering part took me awhile to get. Push right go right, push left go left. It's like that cause while you're moving and have power to the engine, when you push left itll turn the bars slightly right but the axis of the motorcycle when given power, wants to keep itself up and balance itself so it like goes left even though it turned your bars the opposite way at first.

The cart narc is coming for ya lmao.

I need storage for my rebel 500

This is one of the most inspiring videos. I needed to see this, it gives me hope. Thank YOU <3

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing! I’m in my late 50’s so understand the nerves 😬 New to this myself, so here is my top 10, so hope it helps others: Bike Practice: Top 10 Tips 1. Clutch control: release slowly to find engine grip starting to apply drive to rear tire. Practice slow driving and balancing of bike by letting out clutch just enough for maintaining motion; Learn balance point of your bike (handy if ever in slow moving traffic); 2. Figure of eight turns: practice slow figure of eights using only light breaking; Alternate clock wise then anti clock wise; Learn U- Turns this way by being able to handle the bike in small turns; 3. Emergency stops: do slow speed fast stops; practice practice practice with increasing speed and try to shorten stopping distance; Learn to use front break (squeeze) and back break (light pump) as not to lock breaks. Learn you break capacity and control; 4. Counter steer: practice to avoid obstacles; slower speeds to increased speeds till comfortable with how much pressure to apply (Push right/Go left). 5. Intersection short and long turns: practise to steer bike where you look (want to go); Short turns in Oz is into left lane; Long turns could be across say two lanes to turn right; REMEMBER: Look where you want to go; 6. Curvy roads: build up confidence to lean the bike; approach corners slowly, off throttle, squeezing front break early before corner if you need to slow down; then only start to apply throttle when you can see the clear exit; watch out for bikes/cars wanting to pass; 7. Stop in 1st gear: practice to stop in 1st gear and left foot down (REMEMBER: keep eyes out for rear enders, so plan escape path when approaching intersection); Stop to left or right of car in front of you (NEVER directly behind); 8. Scanning ahead: Learn to scan ahead and tell yourself the obstacles you see out loud; repeat till you know you can see issues/obstacles/idiot drivers; Scan where you are going and back (could be squirrel in road!); 9. Parking: Rear end in! In our neighbourhood most cars park rear in (law in town); Practice walking bike in towards pavement; Have bike in 1st and clutch in; Use kill-switch and or Kick stand to park bike (in 1st gear); 10. Gears and downshift: This will come with time how smooth you do this, but practice in an empty car park shifting up and down; It can become muscle memory if you do it enough.

What a lovely video. I enjoyed every minute . I am an 84 year old guy in the UK . I have the same bike in black . Super little bikes and so comfortable. I have owned many bikes but the Rebel is my favourite . Wonder if you still own it . Harleys are great bikes but now at my age , too much of a handfull . The Rebel suits me fine . Best wishes from Thomas .

Wow!! You really rode that honda shadow 250cc fantastic 👌👏

Love your heart ❤ have a lot of gutts.
