After sticking with the first motorbike of my life for four years (to the day almost) and 21,000 miles, I finally got a new bike. Had a great experience with the Honda CTX 700 but this time went with a little more power in the Honda Rebel 1100. The feel of the ride and the sitting position are different and will certainly need some getting used to.

In the meanwhile, I need to find a name for this successor of Phoenix.

Thank you John Moore for pushing me to upgrade and finding this specific bike in the next state.

No, this was no company going public in Wall Street. This was just me going public with the purchase of my new motorbike!!
