Overland Expo…

It’s next week, folks…and it’s in Flagstaff, Arizona.   Here’s a link to this great event…

Want to ride there with us?    I’ll be leaving the CSC plant in Azusa at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday with a few other RX3 riders and an editor from one of the best moto mags on the planet!   We’ll take a couple of relaxed, mostly non-freeway days to get there, and I’ll be riding back on Sunday.   If you’re on an RX3, you’re invited to ride with us!

While we’re at the Overland Expo, I’ll be leading rides to some of the more interesting spots in Arizona, and I’m giving a presentation on the RX3 Friday morning…

The CSC RX3 Motorcycle: A 250cc real world adventure tourer

This presentation will cover the RX3’s development history, features, and highlights completed long distance rides–including Chongqing-to-Istanbul and the grand loop through China and Tibet–as well as the Three Flags, Baja, and other rides CSC is planning for its riders. CSC will address why it believes a 250cc motorcycle is the ideal size for real world adventure touring. With online service tutorials, CSC outlines the ease with which the RX3 can be maintained. Finally, perceptions of Chinese motorcycle quality will be addressed directly; CSC’s Joe Berk (who teaches in Cal Poly’s Manufacturing Engineering department and consults with manufacturers internationally on quality and manufacturing issues) will outline Zongshen’s production operations and quality management approach.   

I hope you can join us.   I’m eager to get back in the saddle after the Baja run and put more miles on my RX3!
