CSC Motorcycles Promotes 2019 Group Riding Opportunities

CSC Motorcycles operates with the core principle: CREATING MOTORCYCLING FUN YOU CAN AFFORD!

We believe it is equally important to BOTH supply great motorcycles that are great values AND to provide opportunities to experience the best of adventure motorcycling. Over the past few years, CSC Motorcycle owners have combined for memorable rides across the U.S. and into Mexico.

CSC TT250 Owners in Baja, Mexico 2016

For 2019, CSC encourages motorcycle owners to participate in group rides, meet and learn from other CSC Motorcycle owners, and experience some of the best riding routes and scenery in the U.S. Randy Reek, an experienced dual-sport rider and long-time CSC Motorcycle owner is coordinating these riding opportunities.

Note: due to popular demand, CSC is planning several riding opportunities in the western states and Midwest. This means that CSC will not be planning a ride to Baja, Mexico in 2019. Following is a brief summary of the planned rides and dates. More details on each of these riding opportunities will follow.

Overlooking Canyonlands National Park, Moab, Utah

CSC Motorcycles Group Ride Number 1: For the first time in 2019, CSC will sponsor an “Owners’ Rally” in Moab, Utah on May 22, 23, and 24. The Moab area has scenery that cannot be matched anywhere in the U.S. There are unlimited routes and trails for EVERY type of motorcycle. Each day will include an easy and harder dual-sport route option. Randy will be leading one ride each day. Other riders will pair up for the additional routes.

CSC RX3 on the White Rim Trail, Canyonlands National Park

The easier dual-sport routes will be appropriate for CSC RX4, RX3, and TT250 riders, including less experienced dirt riders. The tougher routes (White Rim Trail, for example) will be reserved for the most experienced riders with motorcycles outfitted with heavy knobby tires, skid plates, along with tools, food and water. But much of the best scenery around Moab (Arches National Park, for example) can also be viewed riding street bikes, so even SG250 San Gabriel owners and any others who want to stick to the pavement will enjoy the great riding opportunities.

Broken Arch, Arches National Park

CSC Motorcycles Group Ride Number 2: Randy will be leading a dual-sport tour on the Trans-Wisconsin Adventure Trail in late summer 2019. The “T.W.A.T.” extends the length of Randy’s home state of Wisconsin for 600-miles. This is a three-day route (June 25 to 27) on mostly sand and dirt forest roads from Galena, Illinois to Cornucopia on the shore of Lake Superior. Plan for an additional two or three days by highway to complete a full circle. Group size will be limited to 10 to 12 riders.

The T.W.A.T. is perfect for CSC RX4, RX3 and TT250 riders – with knobby tires. This will be a self-supported camping trip (riders must carry camping gear) – although motels and diners aren’t far off the route.

Iconic scenery in Monument Valley

CSC Motorcycles Group Ride Number 3: To showcase the new 2020 CSC RX4, a longer road trip is also planned for early Fall 2019. CSC RX4 owners will be invited to join a 1300-mile highway loop through the Southwest. This “National Park Tour” will include sections of Route 66, the Grand Canyon (South and North Rims), Monument Valley, Moab, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. The route will consist of seven days of spectacular riding in epic destinations across Arizona and Utah. Group size will be limited to 10 to 12 riders.

Breathtaking Zion National Park

CSC RX4 owners can also elect to start from CSC Motorcycles in Azusa, CA (which will add another four days and 850-miles to the seven-day loop.) Or riders – including also CSC RX3 owners – can join anywhere along the circular route. The seven-day loop will start in Williams, AZ on September 5th and conclude on September 11th. (Riders leaving CSC in California will start on September 3 and return to Azusa on September 13.) National Park Tour riders will carry their gear and tools but stay in motels each night.

Indescribable Bryce Canyon National Park

Finally, while not officially “sponsored” by CSC, we will also help match riders who are riding other tours this summer. Are you planning to ride part or all of the Trans-America Trail or any of the Backcountry Discovery Routes? Will you be touring your home state or a different cross-country route? Planning to cross over and ride in Canada or Mexico? We will also try to help CSC Motorcycle owners pair up to ride other routes. Stay tuned for details on each of the rides mentioned above.
