More dual sports, more donuts…

Lots of good stuff happening here, folks.   For starters, our Dual Sports and Donuts Days on Saturdays will run from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. from now on.  Yep, it was so busy last weekend we’re starting an hour earlier.  If you need work done any motorcycle, swing on by and please remember our $19.95 oil change special (not including parts and fluids) on any motorcycle.  I’ll be here next Saturday.   We’re hoping to see you.

I mentioned in the last blog that Eric Hall of the XLADV and ThumperTalk sites stopped by on Saturday for an oil change on his KTM. Eric did a real nice writeup on us on the XLADV site, and you can get to it here. Eric included a photo of himself on the RX3, too…

Eric is involved with two sites…one is the XLADV.com site and the other is the ThumperTalk.com site.   Both are cool forums.

Another cool development…on the Facebook Cyclone RX3 owners page, a guy named Robert Cooper asked for rider inputs on the RX3.   Take a look at what others posted…

We are becoming something of an unofficial KLR center.   Gerry is very knowledgeable on the Kawasaki KLR 650.  He just finished a thorough service on mine, and it’s never run as well as it does now.   The guys even washed it for me (that bike was still carrying bits of Baja from trips I did down there years ago).  If you ride a KLR and need it serviced, we’re your guys…

Our latest bike, the TT Special, is now officially in for CARB and EPA testing.  The process takes about 3 months.  I’m excited.   I’m getting the first one when they are approved.  I’m thinking either the black one with lime green letters, or maybe I’ll have mine custom painted in RX3 orange.  Or maybe we’ll specify that as a standard color.

5000 Miles at 8000 RPM is coming along nicely.   I stopped at the California Grill for dinner on the way home from the plant last night and I worked on the book while I was waiting for my breakfast burrito.   Folks, this is not your typical McDonald’s burrito…

Oh, and more good stuff…our new custom RX3 seats are here.   I grabbed a few photos showing some of the things we can do.  We have a carbon-fiber-pattern material and a gripper material, and we can have these stitched to match your RX3…

Here’s a close up shot of the carbon-fiber-pattern material…

Here’s one showing the gripper material and the carbon fiber material with yellow stitching…

And here’s the same thing, but with red stitching…

There are lots of possibilities and combinations available.  We can do tall seats and short seats, and we can do matching rear seats.  It’s all good stuff.  One with the yellow stitching is going on my RX3 in the near future, and I’ll post a report on it as soon as I’ve ridden it.

That’s all for now, folks.   Back to work on 5000 Miles at 8000 RPM as I sit here watching Lupe detail the KLR.    That bike didn’t look as good as it does now even when it was brand new 10 years ago.  I may own the cleanest KLR in California.  Maybe the world.  Time to get it dirty.  But the book comes first.
