I know what you’re thinking, and no, I didn’t put another thousand miles on my RX3. This was a Subie trip with Susie and my youngest daughter Erica. We pointed Il Tangerino north along the coast, and headed up to San Francisco. Good times and good scenery, although the traffic on the PCH was grindingly grueling. Still, we had fun, and spending time with the girls on the road is always a hoot.
Here are a few quick scenes along the PCH, Cambria, Hearst Castle, San Francisco, and more…
On the way back, we didn’t want to slug it out with the LA traffic and Susie wanted to stop for Mexican food at the Barstow Del Taco. We steered east along Highway 58 about halfway down the state from San Francisco and headed toward the original Del Taco restaurant. Their tacos are awesome and we had a fine dinner!
Along the way during our road trip and for the last few days, my good buddy Paul has been sending me photos of a black powder rifle he’s been building. It’s just about finished now, and it’s looking good. Really good.
I’m a sucker for a niece piece of lumber on a rifle, and this one has a nice fiddleback pattern that is a show stopper! But it’s not just the stock that makes this rifle…its overall proportions and looks are stunning. Paul literally made the entire rifle…as they say, lock, stock, and barrel!
Beautiful work, Paul!
That’s about it for now…I’ve got a bunch of stuff to catch up on here at the ranch, not the least of which is working on 5000 Miles at 8000 RPM. It’s coming along nicely and I am having a lot of fun writing it (in fact, it doesn’t feel like work at all, but truth be told nothing I have ever done with CSC has ever felt like work to me).
I want to get out on my RX3, too. I’ve been following your posts on Facebook and elsewhere about your RX3 adventures, and I’m going to put more miles on mine tomorrow.
One last thing…several of you want to know if I know of anybody you can hook up with to take advantage of our Good Buddy free shipping offer. I do not, but I want to suggest four sites where you can post a request and I’ll bet you get responses.
- The first is our Facebook page. We have a post on there about the Good Buddy program and people are asking the same question. The link for that is https://www.facebook.com/pages/CSC-Motorcycles/114098438079.
- The next is the Cyclone RX3 Facebook page. The link for it is https://www.facebook.com/groups/412630818887109/.
- There’s a long-running thread on ADVRider about the RX3; that link is at http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/csc-250cc-rx-3-cyclone.1007040/page-45.
- Finally, you can also find us on Chinariders.net at http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=13440.
My advice if you want to find somebody to hook up with for the Good Buddy program is to post your interest on any or all of these sites. Somebody (or several somebodies) will respond.
Later, my friends.
