Title: Honda cmx250c (250 Rebel) for my son
Post by: Clark Kent on May 22, 2014, 06:53:31 PM
Anyone know of a good forum for the cmx 250c (Honda Rebel 250)?

I just got a 2004 Cmx 250 with 1700 miles of it for my son. 

Any of you guys have any history with the Rebel??

I know that you abhor posting in any other boards but you really get a limited amount of views there.  I'm moving it to where you might get some more input.  Horribly sorry about this..

Why should I complain?  Your the guy with the Sword!

The move was a very good idea.  Your insight will allow me to get more insight!  Wow!  A double entendre!

Thanks,  "Big guy with a sword" 

Are you really a nurse?

Then why do you wear a RED CROSS??  Are you a Knight Templar  (http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f134/ck409/templar_zpsa5625f5b.jpg)?

You do know the old saying:  "Once a King always a King, but once a night is enough for anyone!"  :doh:

Well, I will say one thing for you.  You really know how to get to my heart strings!   Land of Hope and Glory is one of my all time favorite songs!

In the US every time I hear at a graduation event I yell "Land of Hope and Glory" and everyone thinks I'm nuts.  I shed a tear when I watched your video.

You do know that part of my email handle is   "AethelredII"   I am English to the bone!!!  My wife's forefather was in the English Navy.  He jumped ship and fought with George Washington and stayed in America.   

I go to England every chance I get!   WOW!  What a video.  Thanks,  "Big guy with a sword"   (http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f134/ck409/flag-1.gif)

My brother in law was born there too, so he applied for, and got, Duel Citizenship!  You can be a citizen of England and the USA  and -wait for it----
carry two passports!  English and American!

If you don't have both, you might want to apply for the English one.  That allows your kids to get an English Passport alone with their USA passport!
