I hope there is no real damage to the bike. What a stroke of luck for that nice man to show up when he did. The world needs more people like him. Looking forward to the next installment of this story.

Awww. God bless the good samaritan for helping you out! You're so lucky that he happened to drive by just in time. I'm glad it all worked out!

I just bought my first 250 and you give me inspiration! It’s not even road worthy yet but I’m so excited

The Suzuki GN125 and CM250 Honda Rebel are two special bikes for me. Coming son a will to buy a one 2014 Honda Rebel

At least you wear protective gear well done unlike the male rider

Awww man, so sorry about your bike problems. Hope the cost of towing it 5 hours away was not too much.

My guess is oil drain plug. If that's it you were lucky it didn't fall completely out. A little oil spreads a long way. Edit -Old bike? I have 11 motorcycles, 10 Hondas, 1 that has a Chinese Honda 50cc clone engine. None of them ran when I got them, all have run since I bought them. My latest is a 2000 Honda 250 Rebel, oldest is a 1963 Honda Cub. The Rebel is going to donate its engine to a 1970 Honda CL175 frame. The bike I ride most is a 1994 Honda 250 Nighthawk (same engine as the Rebel), didn't expect that when I bought it but, it's so easy to ride. I want something that is more handy to carry stuff and I want 18 inch tires front and back so, CL175 frame. Be lucky out there.

The beach you're on is called False Harbour beach. On the Yarmouth side there's another beach called John's Cove that gets quite busy. The area is where all the boats area is called Yarmouth Bar, or "the bar". The fog is real over here, judging by the timing of your videos you were here right smack in the middle of the most annoyingly long string of foggy days I've seen in a while.

The nice thing is there are a ton of companies making parts for the Rebel 250. The basic engine hasn’t really changed much in 20 years. I’m sure a seal blew out. I bet the tow costs more than the repair. Tow it to a shop near where you are.

You sure do have some beautiful places to ride. I live in the middle of the Arizona desert. 450 miles from the nearest coast, and it is in California, a state I have no desire to go to. Also, five months out of the year, temperatures are in the 110 degree F range, too hot for me to ride. Sad to hear about that oil leak, especially so far from home. By far the most common place for a Rebel 250 to spring an oil leak is the left side crankshaft seal. It is a pressed in seal, and requires removing the flywheel under the left side cover to replace. The 2 most common reasons for it to fail is overfilling with oil. or a plugged crankcase vent, allowing pressure to build up inside the crankcase. The countershaft seal, behind the front sprocket can also leak, though it is not likely for it to leak that bad. I am on my fourth Rebel 250 since 1985, a 2016 model I bought new. I have over 30,000 miles on Rebel 250s, and have never had that seal fail. But it is not that uncommon. Because the Rebel and one other bike I own have tube type tires, and flats with tube type tires are common in my area, I have both AAA and AMA road service plans with towing. I've had bikes with tube type tires come home on a tow truck three times in the last 5 years because of flat tires. Best of luck getting it back home. I once spent over $1200 because of a flat tire, only 200 miles from home. I did not have roadside assistance at that time. It happened on a Sunday morning ride. Dealers here are closed on Sunday and Monday. So I had towing charges, 3 day motel bill, and almost $300 to have a dealer pick up the bike from a motel a couple miles away, replace the rear tire and tube, and missed two days work. Check out the hondarebelforum.com forum. There is a ton of information on there about the Rebel 250. There are also a lot of Rebel 250 channels and videos on TH-cam. Here is a video about replacing the crankshaft oil seal th-cam.com/video/oFRjI18aHmU/w-d-xo.html Hopefully your Rebel did not run low enough on oil to cause engine damage. Rebel 250s don't hold much oil, and they don't have a low oil pressure warning light. Did you check the oil level after discovering the leak?

Is it the crankshaft seal? They are prone to blowing out if too much oil.

I ride a 2015 Honda Rebel! When on the roadway, don't drive in the middle of the lane! Civic engineers design each lane with an apex, in the middle; that means the oil from cars will settle there. If you ride in the far left of your lane; you can be subject to traffic, that crosses their lane. Always drive in the far right area of the lane, between the white line and away from the middle, where the most motor oil is; also get your stock Honda tires changed, they always sell these lower priced bikes with crappy tires. I have Kendal performance tires, the rubber is great, the stock Rebel tires are as slick as plastic, check them out your self.

Your letting the bike drive you. You Have to Drive the Bike. Buckle your fists forward, get ready for anything to Happen! You may have to shift your weight to manuver, that means sliding your body foward or back, at an instant. Your upper arm strength has to be ready for instant manuvering, weather it's an animal in the road, a suuden front tire blow -out or some driver that cuts you off. Thanks for this video, your voice is great.

Thanks

Ciao!

Inspiring

Great video. I can't wait for the next installment. The camper looks big enough to be comfortable except for the low ceiling. Watch your head, lol.

LOL. Cute video. WOW, That washroom is super tiny...don't how you guys made it work. Overall, it seemed like y'all had fun exploring the small town, playing cards, and a little bonfire - good times!

videos are getting better and better, nice cuts and great environment to experience around, looking forward for second part :) gj

Hooly moly, seems like it took forever to get there. Hope you had a good night's rest.

Back roads rule!!

Hell, I’ve ridden a 150 on the freeways in California. 55 mph. You wanna pass, I don’t care.

Hello, do you know if the sprocket you replaced was the same size as the original? Did you go up a size? That could give a bit more zip.

Hello Ali, to get the bike in neutral easier, give the throttle a gentle twist. The engine rev will push oil and “wet” the transmission and neutral is much easier to slip into on a Rebel 250. I’m amazed at the rides you do on that bike. Very impressive.

You guys have such cool places to ride. I live in Arizona, U.S. and it's all desert. And it's 110 degrees F all summer. I have never ridden my Rebel 250 on dirt roads. I weigh 240, and it probably wouldn't hold up well on rough roads with that much weight on it. It's a 2016 model I bought brand new. I got a whopper of a deal on it because it was the last year for the 250, and the dealer was overstocked with them. I am not a fan of the tube type tires. It has just a little over 5,000 miles on it, and I have already had 2 flat tires, which required a tow truck to get it home. I have a 2006 Harley Sportster 1200 and a Kawasaki Vulcan 750, both have tubeless tires and I have never had a flat on either one. The Kawasaki is about worn out. It is a 1997 model. I bought it new, and it now has 118,000+ miles on it, all mine. I have to ride a few hundred miles just to find a nice place to ride. The Sportster only has 12,000 miles on it, it should last me to the point where I can no longer ride larger bikes, then I will have the Rebel 250. I have ridden dirt and dual sport bikes most of my life, but I am no longer able to get on the tall seats, and I can no longer repair a flat tube type tire by myself out in the middle of the desert. Anyway, ride safe and have fun.

Always love watching your vlogs when I can. I own a Rebel 250 too in the city so it’s great to watch one out in the wild so free! Love the calm commentary, hope to see more ❤️

You do you.having fun?that’s what it’s about.😊

Looked like an eventful trip. Gravel and motorcycles are a recipe for disaster. Glad you made it unscathed.......So Far. Can't wait for part 2. As always, great video

How cool is that! Did you drive on a highway? Thanks for sharing your experience 😊

I love my rebel. This thing is a mini tank. The highway is intimidating, but it will be just fine.

Long rides are the best. They take you to unfamiliar places and that puts the mind in a different state. The zen of two wheels.

great trip and those local bio eggs had to be a nice surprise looked good, one thing what I look forward on every trip is moment when I can cook outside it's so relaxing :)

Great video. I know you both enjoyed the trip. It looked fun. I enjoy your channel. Keep the videos coming

Cool beans ❤😊😊😊

Looked like a nice little road trip. That's a super cute tiny home too.

Love the channel

Love the 360 cam

Nice video,educational,enjoy your bike every mile and every day,stay save.

I was driving a few says ago and saw a guy on a Rebel 250 on the highway. It was cool.

Hey Alicat. Nice to see another video from you. Looks like things are going well. Glad to see you still have the Honda Rebel 250. Amazing little bikes.

That looked like a fun trip. I'm glad you are posting again. I always look forward to your videos. Stay safe

What bike does Lance ride? Nice trip btw.

Gotta giggle about the scooter comment, I own a NSS250 Honda Reflex scooter and even with my 240 pounds of fat butt I regularly easily blow the handlebars off of 250 Rebels any time any where. Not slamming Rebels because I loved both of the 250 Rebels that I have owned in the past. They are great and extremely durable machines and will easily go 70 mph all day long but I needed something much more comfy and because of my old age arthritis setting in I needed something where I could step through instead of the painful climb over, and I found it in my Reflex scooter. The thing I did not expext and learned in the first month of ownership was the awesome 85 mpg along with the GPS certified 86 mph top speed on a flat road with no wind. Also I never had to wear a backpack ever again and with the under seat storage and the 31 litre tail box I can bring home 2 weeks worth of groceries in one trip. All that being said, I would hold onto that little Rebel as long as you can afford to because they are great bikes, they were just never ment to be fast or very comfy on the butt for long 5 to 8 hour rides which I now regularly can do on the Reflex. I just got home from a 6 hour ride just before watching this video. Later folks, gotta go for a scooter ride!!😁

I road to Yellow Stone National Park and the interstate runs at 80 mph; my GSA 1250 had no problem with the high speed. Riding a low cc bike at high speed results in higher vibration, and you run close to the redline. My wife wants a small bike, and a 250 would be a challenge for her.

Honda glide or rebel glide? 😂❤🫡👍

Ditch the dealer get someone tjat lnows bikes i had a 1986 honda cmx 250 and it was easy to fix im goingvto get the bioke back and restore it best fun b8ke

In the GTA we have the rash of early riding season fatalities. Causes? 1) Riders are out of shape, and awareness, and motor muscle skills have dropped during winter. 2) Riders don't compensate for this by being extra careful during the first few weeks of spring riding.. 3) Roads and tires are cold, so less grip if you try sharper turns at higher speeds. 4) The GTA has 905 fast "suburban" roads where vehicles approach an intersection at high speeds, making a miscalculation deadly. Conclusion: Drive like a careful woosie for the first weeks of Spring until you are back in the riding groove.

I enjoy your channel and I'm glad you're back. We need more classroom time with Miss Know it Ali

We got no show here in se va

😮you are very welcome
