We are now accepting $500 deposits on the new City Slicker electric motorcycle. We’ve ordered the 2019 City Slickers, and they’ll be here the end of September (just in time for Christmas).

The first shipment of bikes will be sold at our “Don’t Miss the Boat” price of just $1995.00 (bikes after the shipment will sell for the regular price of $2495).   There’s also our low $345.00 assembly/inspection/ocean transport and $55.00 doc fees.   Shipping is free. You will save $500 if you place your order from the first shipment. If you want to get your new City Slicker, please give us a call at 800-884-4173, or you can order online.

California buyers will pay sales tax and license.  Out-of-state buyers will pay state sales tax and license fee when registering the bike.

Had a little spare time on Monday and took a cool short ride up GMR (Glendora Mountain Road) on the TT250. The weather was great and the traffic is light up there on Monday’s, which made for a fun ride. GMR is close to my house so it only takes about 5 minutes to get on the road that leads up the hill.

 GMR

Here is a  picture of my TT250. This picture was taken close to the top of GMR at one of the turn out’s in the road.  At this time of year you have to watch out for rattle snakes and other wild life, so I didn’t stay around in the dirt too long!!

On my way down the hill I noticed this in the road on one of the hair pin turns, Not good !! You can see the skid marks and tire marks in the dirt where some Ricky racer went over the side of the mountain in a car. Bummer…

SAN GABRIEL

We get a lot of tourist in the shop all the time. Most retired people go on trips like Hawaii, Europe, Asia, but this guy tours motorcycles shops. Actually, this is our good buddy Joe Berk working with Carlos to put together the shop manual and service tutorials for the new SG250 San Gabriel. The San Gabriel bikes are coming in next week and we are getting everything ready to start shipping them out to all the folks who put there deposits down on the first shipment.

This is one of the CSC service technicians Carlos. He know’s the SG250 like the back of his hand. He has taken them apart and put them back together many times over and I would say he is an San Gabriel expert tech.

Have a great 4th of July

We want to wish everyone a happy 4th! We will be closed on the 4th for the Holiday but will return on Thursday to our normal business hours. As you all know we have been working on our new website and it’s coming along great. We should have all the factory replacement part pages and accessory pages up by the end of the week. In the meantime if there is something you need please give us a call and we will be happy to take your order over the phone. Enjoy the day off, be with family, and eat lots of BBQ. Don’t forget to go for a ride on your CSC ZONG.

We loaded up the truck with two of the new SG 250’s and headed over to the Irwindale speedway drag strip for a night of fun. It’s only about 10 minutes from the shop and a great time for racers and viewers alike. The flyer that we had for the event said that only a helmet and proper safety gear is required to race. Gerry, Joey, Willie and Duane all rode their bikes over to the drag strip thinking they all had the proper safety gear to find out that they were misinformed.

We were only able to race one bike after going thru tech where we were told rider’s must have a leather jacket, shoes that go above the ankle, and a helmet that is Snell approved. We were able to talk the tech guy into letting us run with a non leather jacket and had to rent a Simpson Snell approved helmet. Gerry was the only one who had boots that were above the ankle and was allowed to race.

Once we got Gerry and the bike thru tech everything smoothed out and we had a great time racing the SG250. Gerry made about 5 or 6 passes through out the night and the bike ran great every pass.

The Toyota truck all loaded up with two SG250’s ready for the races. The two bikes fit perfect in the back.

Gerry in the staging lane getting ready for his first pass of the night.

First pass we got matched up with a bike twice our size.

That guy got a good hole shot off the line.

Photo by Joe Berk: capturing Gerry at about 200 feet out.

The track was a 1/8th mile which is only 660 feet. Gerry got the SG up to 54.03 MPH

It was a lot of fun talking in the Pitt’s after each pass.

Our good buddy Kirk challenged Gerry to a drag race with his SV650

I think Gerry got the hole shot on this one, I think Kirk ended up catching Gerry at the end.

There were a few nice vintage bikes there, here is a nice old Indian, didn’t get the year.

Here is a Pierce motorcycle, it’s over 100 years old. I think it is a 1912.

All in all, we had a great time at the races, and had a lot of fun with the crew. The drag strip is just a few miles from our shop and with summer here I think we will be visiting the track a little more often. I am looking forward to our SG250 shipment coming in and I am sure we will see some of our customers out at the track with their new SG250’s. Maybe we will have a CSC drag day with prizes for the fastest bike!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are setting up a new website, We have been getting a lot of e-mails asking what happened to all the parts and accessories. No worries, we still have everything and we will have all the replacement parts books and all the accessories back up on the new site hopefully by this weekend.

The IT people are working hard at it right now , in the mean time if there is something you need just give us a call and we can take your order over the phone. 800-884-4173

This Thursday night at our local drag strip there is antique motorcycle drag races. You can bet we will be there with a couple San Gabriel Cafe Racers. This is exciting, That’s right you read it right here, we are going to run the San Gabriel down the drag strip. We will take a lot of pictures and post it right here on the blog this weekend. If your local come on out to the track, its $10.00 to watch and only $20.00 to race.

Come on out and see who will be riding the San Gabriel down the drag strip, will it be Joey, Gerry or Wade and Willie? It might even be Joe Berk!

See you there.

Thanks to the gang over at Rumble-on, And thank you Cam for writing such a great piece on our new San Gabriel.

The first shipment of the San Gabriel are due in at the beginning of July, So if you are interested in reserving one go to our website and get your deposit in.

All our bikes are on sale until the end of the month and bikes are moving out fast everyday. This is one of our newest TT250 owners, meet Jerry.

Jerry is a long time bike owner and has owned just about everything there is to own in the bike world. Jerry is going to use his new TT250 for all around town, he had the 47 tooth sprocket installed for mostly highway riding. Jerry has a big motor home and plans to hang the TT250 off the front of his motor home and use it when the motor home is parked in the camp grounds.

Thank you Jerry for choosing the CSC TT250, enjoy your new bike and Happy Trails.

We have had a lot of questions about how you charge the City Slicker, Such as, is the battery removable, and what kind of plug do you use to charge it.

Here are some answers to most of the questions and some photos to show what we are talking about.

The battery is removable, it takes about 5 seconds to take it out. Disconnect the red main cable, unscrew the pigtail and twist the key in the side lock and it slides right out.

The battery has two handles attached to make it easy to carry. The battery weighs 35.2 LBS. If you are close to a power outlet when you need to charge the battery you can just plug it in, you do not have to remove the battery to charge it.

The City Slicker comes with its own charger and cables, it plugs into a standard household plug, the other end plugs into the receptacle on the right side of the bike.

This is a shot of the charger plugged into the bike with the battery still in the compartment.

The charger and cables fit nicely into the gas tank with plenty of room for other things.

We are riding the City Slickers every day and are continuing to find out more details everyday, this is a cool little bike and a blast to ride. If you have any questions please let us know and we will do our best to get answers to you as we can.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and congratulations to all the grads from the gang over at CSC Motorcycles. Now is a great time to purchase one of our motorcycles. Save $300 on an RX3 or $200 on a TT250 from now until the end of the month.

The CSC San Gabriel is due to arrive at the end of this month and they’re selling out fast. Hurry and get your $500 deposit in so you don’t miss the first shipment.

It is with mixed emotions that I announce the retirement of Joe Berk from CSC Motorcycles. Joe has been a dear friend, riding partner, and with his dedication, helped build CSC Motorcycles to what it has become today.

For 9 years Joe has been instrumental in his role as our Business Development Consultant.  From sourcing new models, building relationships with vendors, friendships with our valued customers to being the primary point of contact for new model introductions with the press, industry and our riders.  His contribution has been invaluable to CSC Motorcycles.  From his overseas relationships to heading up our amazing CSC adventure rides, that were so well planned and loved by all, Joe Berk turned business relationships into friendships for the betterment of CSC.

While we say “Good Bye” to Joe as a vital component at CSC, we also “Welcome” him to a well-deserved retirement.   We will continue to share the road ahead on our Blog and do our best to maintain the quality of his posts.  Me, Maureen and the CSC crew will miss his insight, knowledge, passion and more importantly his smile and great personality around the office.

Joe, there are truly no words I can use to express my gratitude.  We are indebted to your years of vision and commitment, for propelling CSC from a start up to a nationally recognized motorcycle brand; your efforts have helped assure our success into the coming years and for that we’ll always be grateful.

Enjoy your newfound freedom, I hope we can work together on future projects when your time permits. Whenever you’re riding near Foothill Blvd, please turn in and visit us as often as possible.  Ride on…..!

Steve
