I’m off to Chongqing tonight, boys and girls, for a couple of days of meetings with the engineers and others at Zongshen. There’s a lot happening and I’ll post an update or two from China. Suffice it to say, we’re not sitting still.
On that front, we’ve got more than a few events coming up this summer:
- Another quick run or two into Baja
- The Three Flags Highway run I told you about up to Mammoth
- I’m riding a coast-to-coast RX3 trip to New Jersey and back
- A ride or two in Arizona
- A ride through the eastern Mojave Desert
- The event in Oregon I mentioned a few blogs back
In addition to the above, we have another couple of irons in the fire. One is a big run I’ll have more info on when I return from Chongqing. This one is going to be an epic ride, so you’ll want to keep an eye on the blog for more details.
And there’s another event we’re going to do this summer…we’ve noticed a lot of you are shooting enthusiasts. We’re going to sponsor a barbeque at the West End Gun Club one day this summer and hold our first annual “Scoot and Shoot.” It will be an informal match, and the only entry requirement is that you show up on an RX3. Watch the blog for more details.
Another bit of good news…the August issue of Motorcyclist is about to hit the stands (if you have an online subscription you’ll have read it already), and in it Ari Henning gave the RX3 a great review.
Our phones are already ringing off the hook, the bikes are selling quickly, and if you want to get an RX3 now without waiting for the next increment to arrive, don’t sit around thinking about whether or not you should go for the motorcycle Ari called a “remarkably good bike” and “a totally competent machine.” I’m guessing we’ll be sold out within the next week or so, and then we’ll all have to wait until the next shipment arrives.
That’s it for now, folks. More to follow from Chongqing.
