A nice note from Fred…

I received this nice note from our good buddy Texas Fred this morning, and I thought I would share it with you…

Hi Joe,

I am really enjoying my new red RX3!  Five years ago in 2010, I ran across Steve’s small ad in either Popular Mechanics or Popular Science, which I read while camping on vacation.  When I returned I started reading your blog.  Several months later I ordered my red 150cc Classic and it was delivered the day before Thanksgiving in 2010.  I have been enjoying it ever since until this year when our roads have become potholed and bumpy in our housing area.  Finally the potholes got to me and I began looking for a dirt bike that was light weight with shocks on both corners. 

All dirt bikes of at least 250cc’s had a seat height of 34”….and at 5’ 10” I needed a 31” seat max.  It was then I started thinking of the RX3 adventure bike.  I called Steve to talk about it and to order a new back tire for the 150 Classic.  You had done an outstanding job selling the RX3 and Steve told me that he was about my height and could easily touch the ground and it felt comfortable.  I decided the next day, about Thanksgiving of 2014, to go ahead and order it. 

When it came in, I got it put together and then took my first ride, even before I had it licensed.   I could not believe how solid it felt, held a good line in the gravel and had a lot more power than I ever expected.  It shifts well, has instant acceleration and is comfortable on the road with a sheepskin seat cover.  While I haven’t finished putting on the crash bars or the panniers, I will as I need them…..the bike looks great by itself.  The only improvement I will make eventually is a larger windshield to make it more relaxing on long days at highway speed. 

I just can’t thank you enough for your great sales efforts and Steve’s savvy to bring this great bike to North America.  And, I just can’t believe I have bought two bikes from CSC without riding either of them before buying.  That is a first for me!!!!

Thanks again, Joe, for your blog and I’ll keep reading it daily for a long, long time.

Fred in Texas

Fred, thanks for your email and your kind words.   We’ve had quite a few folks who own the CSC Mustangs also buy an RX3 (I’m one of them, and like you, I have a red CSC 150).   We appreciate your taking the time to write to us and sending a photo of your new RX3.

I’m glad you enjoy the blog.  I have a lot of fun writing it and we especially enjoy posting notes from our riders.

Ride safe, enjoy your new motorcycle, and think about joining us on our next adventure ride!
