Beijing (a bit more)!

Wow, it has been an incredibly intense two days.  It was two nights ago when we ate in Yangyuen, and both Master Sergeant Zuo and yours truly were a bit under the weather after that meal.  It only bothered me for a couple of hours (I was lucky); my good buddy Master Sergeant Zuo has been recuperating for the last two days. It was bound to happen; we have been eating in some pretty unusual places and we’ve enjoyed food that is more than a little out of the ordinary.  But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Back to the ride…it was an easy run out of Yangyuen and it was neither hot nor humid (a much welcome change from the heat and humidity we had been experiencing).   We took a detour on what the Chinese call their Route 66, and because of that, it was overrun with Chinese tourists.  We stopped in one of the hundreds of wind farms I have seen in China and shot a few photos.

160725_4487-650

150726_4471-650

I am seeing the future on this adventure, it is electric, and it already exists in China.   You would not believe the number of electric vehicles we are seeing (including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and scooters).   You’ll have to read Riding China to get the inside details, but let me tell you, it is amazing.   The Chinese are so far ahead of us in this area it is scary.

Here’s a photo of a donkey we saw while we were shooting the above photos. If he looks a bit nervous to you, well, let’s just say he has a good reason for his skittishness.

160725_4492-650

We’re in Hebei Province now, and I didn’t know it when I rolled in, but I know it now.   Hebei Province is famous for, well….read on.

We were stopped at a traffic light in Zhangbei when Furem became excited and pointed to a sign at a tiny place diagonally across a rather busy street.   We all pulled in and my good buddy Kong asked if I would like to have a “donghee burger.”  It almost sounded as if he said “donkey burger,” but that couldn’t be, I thought.  I mean, a donkey burger?   Who would eat such a thing?

Then I saw this menu posted on the wall…check out the illustrations in the lower left…

160725_4494-650

The guys were excited.  I could tell, even though I don’t speak Chinese.   Then lunch arrived…

160725_4497-650

Yep, donkey burgers. It’s a delicacy.   Kong tells me they only use young donkeys (much more tender and tasty, he said).   Donkey burgers, and donkey soup…

160725_4498-650

Kong told me there’s an old Chinese saying that goes something like “people in heaven eat dragon burgers, and people on earth eat donkey burgers.”   I can’t make stuff up this good, my friends.   We are experiencing some amazing things.   Cue in the music from Indiana Jones.

Later yesterday afternoon, we entered the Badaling area in the mountains outside of Beijing and we saw The Great Wall.   Folks, here it is…

150727_4413-650

We got in very late last night, and that really ticked me off.   I had something in my eye that was bothering me a lot (Kong experienced the same problem yesterday), my left shoulder was bugging me (it acts up on long rides), it was super hot and humid again, and there was that God-awful Chinese traffic on the expressways heading into Beijing.  It was probably more the fatigue than anything else, but I don’t like riding after dark and I let the guys running the show know it.   I went to sleep upset about getting in that late and I woke up feeling the same way, and I still felt that way when we rode into the mountains to see the Great Wall again this morning.   It was nice riding up there, though.   Here are a couple of shots I grabbed along the way…

150727_4434-650

150727_4452-650

As we were riding back out, I started riding slower and slower, until I was the last guy in line, and then the guys were so far ahead of me I couldn’t see them.   Something was going on…I suppose a shrink would call it an anxiety attack.   I was driving around every twist in the road expecting to see a truck stopped in my lane, an oncoming truck passing another vehicle in my lane, a person sweeping the street in the middle of the turn in my lane, a guy pulling out right in front of me, a bus making a U-turn in front of me, a car cornering too hard drifting into my lane, someone going the wrong way in my lane, someone just pulling into my lane without looking, an old woman walking directly in front of me, people who stopped and got out of their car just to have a conversation in the middle of the street, or someone squatting down in the middle of the road relieving themselves (in my lane, of course).   I’ve seen it all over here, and the enormity of the insanity that is riding a motorcycle in China caught up with me.

The guys were waiting for me at the next intersection, and from there we went to a Sinopec station to feed the bikes. I was still feeling what I suppose must have been accumulated anxiety when a guy in a black Mercedes starting blasting his horn at me because he didn’t want to drive around me; he wanted me to move.   I don’t know what came over me, but I looked at him, made eye contact, and pushed my bike directly alongside his window (which was open).  I then leaned on my horn and let it rip for a good 20 seconds.   Then one of the other Chinese guys did the same, and yet another yelled a bad word at the Mercedes pilot (which he probably learned from either Gresh or me).  It was pretty funny.  That broke the spell.  I felt a lot better after that.

Okay, enough about me being a butthead…on to Beijing proper.   We stopped at the Beijing Zongshen dealer this afternoon (where they were expecting us) and it was the Dajiu and Arjiu show all over again.   Lots of photos with Gresh and me.  Hey, how often do Dajiu and Arjui show up in your neighborhood?  We were asked to give the keys and Zongshen fluorescent vests to five lucky guys who had just purchased new RX1 motorcycles.   It was pretty cool and it was great fun.

150728_4387-650

150728_4357-650

150728_4407-650

While I was there, I grabbed this photo of a guy who owns a pearlescent white RX3 with a cool hand-painted windshield emblem…

150728_4406-650

150728_4339-650

That “438.000” Harley-looking bar and shield number is the frequency of their walkie-talkies.   They all have walkie-talkies when they ride.  Our guys have them, too.   It’s part of the Chinese riding experience, I guess.

Zongshen and the local dealer treated us to a Peking duck dinner fit for a king tonight, and it was perhaps the best meal we’ve had in China so far.  Kong taught me how to do a proper Chinese toast.   It was grand fun.

And that’s a wrap for now, folks.  It’s on to Tien An Men Square tomorrow.   Watch for the photos….

Oh, but before I go…the Beijing Zongshen dealer had this puppy in his shop, and Gresh posed while I shot….

150728_4389-650

150728_4403-650

You might be wondering (and perhaps guessing) why I found that bike so interesting.  Yep, you guessed right…we’re bringing the RZ3 (Zonghen’s naked bike with the RX3 engine) to America, and you’re hearing it here first!

Great News Coverage!

Matt Wrye’s Daily Bulletin and San Bernardino Sun story on CSC Motorcycles ran last week, as described a few blog posts back.  Today, the same story ran in The Pasadena Star News and The San Gabriel Valley Tribune.  The online versions can be accessed for the next 30 days by clicking on the blue links.

Tom Cordova (a Daily Bulletin photographer who does great work) grabbed this shot of Steve and Maureen in the CSC factory showroom…

20100220_094406_SB21-Scooter[1]a

The CSC motorcycles you see above are the Babydoll (in pink and white), the Classic (in red), and the Greaser (in flat black).  The green bike in the foreground is an original, unrestored 1950s Mustang.

Birds, Planes, and Wild Mustangs

old&newMustangsJust a quick note on the latest CSC Motorcycles news coverage.   Mild-mannered ace business reporter Clark Kent…oops, make that Matt Wrye… of the Daily Planet…oops, make that the Daily Bulletin, visited the California Scooter Company this week to interview Steve Seidner.  The story ran on the front page of the Daily Bulletin’s business section today.   It looks great, and you can see it here under the headline Wild Mustangs.  If you pick up the hard copy, there’s a great photo of Steve and Maureen with a ’53 Mustang and several new CSC motorcycles.  I don’t have access to that photo, but I do have one showing the bikes, including that Kryptonite green ’53 Mustang and the 2010 fire engine red Classic in the background.  It’s a cool shot…the old and the new.

Matt did a fantastic job with this story.  Really super work from a super reporter (thanks, Matt)!

Matt had to dash as soon as the interview was over.  I thought I saw him run into a phone booth on the other side of the runway (we are located at Brackett Field, you know).   This is the part I’m not sure about, but I might have seen him changing into a blue suit with a red cape.  I thought maybe I was imagining all of this, but a few seconds later I heard the air traffic control tower radio crackling…what is that?…up in the sky…it’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s…it’s…

Nah, I probably just needed another cup of coffee…

Shotgun and Big Joe

We are in production, and new CSC motorcycles are coming off the line.    Things are happening, including a steady stream of visitors to the showroom since Matt Wrye’s article in The Daily Bulletin last weekend.  I was at the plant today and it was a hoot watching folks check out the new CSC motorcycles, with that 1950s Mustang over in the corner just kind of keeping an eye on things.  I had my camera with me, and I grabbed a few shots I thought I would share with you.

This first photo is our original, unrestored Mustang.  A cool bike, but definitely not in the same league as the new CSC motorcycles.  These old Mustangs, in unrestored condition (like this one) go for around $6K, and they go north rapidly from there.   A brand new CSC motorcycle goes for $4995 (that’s right…brand new, it’s less than the cost of an unrestored Mustang).

53Mustang

Shotgun and Big Joe were two of many visitors in the showroom this afternoon.  They were having a good time, and they let me grab a couple of photos.

This is Big Joe…

Big Joe

And this is Shotgun…

Shotgun

The bike Shotgun is on is a customized Classic.  It has custom paint, chromed billet wheels, a rack, passing lamps (like the ones you’d see on a Harley Electra Glide), a custom pipe, and a few other custom touches.  Even loaded to the gills like this one, you won’t break the bank.   That’s one of the many cool aspects of these bikes.   You can run them in their stock condition for way less than the cost of an unrestored original Mustang, or you can go absolutely hog wild (don’t tell Milwaukee I used that word) and the whole package will still be way less than you would expect.  When I saw the price list for the accessories, my first thought was that they were underpriced, but I’m going to keep my mouth shut until I’ve bought all the stuff I want.

There are a lot of possibilities for customizing these bikes.  Here’s another CSC moto Steve and his guys went to town on…a radical Greaser.  It’s got very cool apehangers, another exotic paint job, blacked-out billet wheels, and a pipe.

PurpleGreaser

So, that’s it for now.  Well, maybe not.  I forgot to mention…we’re having an unofficial, unannounced open house this Saturday at 11:00, so if you want refreshments, a chance to see these cool bikes in person, and a look at the inside of a brand new motorcycle factory, shoot me an e-mail (info@cscmotorcycles.com) … I’ll send you a map and we’ll make sure we save a spot for you!

My knees in the breeze…

More good stuff going on at the Scooter Factory, boys and girls…we have a couple of new accessories we are wringing out, and Steve needed somebody to put a few hundred miles on one of the test mules this weekend. Hey, I know somebody who can do that! The weather’s perfect and I don’t need much of an excuse to go for a motorcycle ride, so I grabbed Ol’ Yellow and I was in the wind.

I wanted to wring out another new toy, too, and that’s my smart phone. Yep, I joined the legions of people who bought an iPhone. I’m still just learning how to use some of its features, but the two I’m most interested in are the camera and the email feature. So, the jury’s in and as far as I’m concerned, the iPhone is okay but I wouldn’t spend the money again. The email feature is slow to receive and slow to send, and the photo quality is not up to what I consider acceptable. And, the thing is huge compared to my previous phone. Admittedly, my previous phone was a bare-bones model, but this iPhone is a monster. My daughter immediately told me not to drop it because it’s easy to break the screen, so I’m a little leery of the thing.

On the plus side, the iPhone is definitely easier to carry around than my Nikon (it’s a boat anchor, and when I wear it around my neck on long motorcycle rides, it gets heavy). I love that Nikon, though…it’s been all over the world with me, and I love the images I get with it. I have the Nikon D200, which is an obsolete model, but the image quality is so good I just can’t see dropping another two grand for the latest model. A lot of the image quality it provides is due to the lenses, and I’m pretty fussy about those. I mostly use prime lenses (non-zoom lenses, because the image quality is better), and lately I’ve been using a Sigma 50mm macro lens as a good “all around” lens. I shot the Nikon photos on this page with it.

So, back to riding…check out a few of the photos I grabbed this weekend. Let’s look at the iPhone photos first…I grabbed these when I rode around the San Gabriel Mountains yesterday afternoon.

This first photo is on Angeles Crest Highway. It’s one of the premier motorcycle roads in the world, and you may remember that we took a California Scooter ride on it a couple of months ago. It’s a great ride, and after carving the corners for a few miles I stopped to grab an iPhone photo. The cool thing about this self portrait is the iPhone feature that lets you take your own photo. There’s a thingamajig on the screen that lets you see yourself on the screen and then take a photo, just like this one…

A self-portrait on Angeles Crest Highway, courtesy of the iPhone...

This next one is on Angeles Forest Highway, which is another stunning road. It heads up toward Palmdale.  My next turn would be on Mt. Emma Road, which cuts around the northwestern edge of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Another iPhone shot...this one isn't bad, but the image quality is not as good as my Nikon.

And here’s a shot on the long straight just after sweeping through the twisties. This is a cool straight section of Angeles Forest Road, and it’s the first straight section after the road’s terrific twisties.

Another iPhone photo...I had just come around the corner you see in the background.

Here’s a shot at the exact same location, staring down that long straight. I once was riding with my friend David on this road…he had a highly modified BMW K100, and I had my ’97 Suzuki TL1000S. We both shot through that corner shown above, and then we touched an indicated 145 mph before slowing to make the right onto Mt. Emma Road. Yeah, I know. It was pretty stupid.  It seemed like a good idea at the time…

The long straight at the end of Angeles Forest Highway.

Today’s ride took me in the opposite direction, and I took my Nikon with me this time. I got on the freeway by my place and rolled east for about 60 miles out to Yucaipa, and then I left the freeway and rode surface streets back. It was pretty cool. My route took me by my friend Art’s dealership (he sells Triumphs and Royal Enfields). I parked my Scooter next to a big Triumph Rocket, and it made for an interesting shot…

2300cc and three cylinders versus 150cc and one cylinder...shot with the Nikon and a Sigma lens.

Art has a bunch of Royal Enfields in stock. They have a retro look like our bikes do, and they are kind of cool. Royal Enfield has an interesting story. They were originally a British bike, and the Brits opened a factory in India to make their single-cylinder model. When the original company in the UK went belly up around 1970, the folks in India watched it happen, shrugged their shoulders, and kept on making bikes. I grabbed this shot in Art’s showroom…

Royal Enfields at Douglas Motorcycles...shot indoors with the Nikon and no flash.

After leaving Art’s place, I rolled through downtown San Bernardino and found myself on old Route 66. There’s lots of interesting places on Route 66, but a lot of it is fake stuff trying to cash in on the Route 66 vibe. One place that is still the original, though, is the WigWam Motel. Check out Ol’ Yellow in the WigWam parking lot…

The WigWam on old Route 66 just west of San Bernardino (another Nikon shot).

That’s it for now, folks. Tomorrow’s another day and another ride…

Some Great Photos & Kind Words From Our Friend Trever @ TRERACKSCITY MOTO!

  Howdy!! My name is Trever Remaly and I’m the creator of YouTube channel TRERACKSCITY MOTO! I live in northern Nevada near the beautiful Lamoille Canyon! One of my favorite things to do is to go explore because there are so much out there, and many different perspectives to share. My YouTube Channel consists of motorcycles (CSC TT250) / camping/ drone, videography, photography and I want to take you with me because these places are too amazing to keep them to myself!

   I was on the search for an off-road motorcycle that was affordable/ reliable and of course looked cool! I stumbled onto CSC motorcycles and saw the new 2021 TT250 and instantly fell in love with the look and price so I pulled the trigger and ordered it! It showed up on a pallet ready to go start my new adventure journey and WOW! I am very impressed with it so far; I’m at 1000 miles now and I would definitely recommend it!

    To begin my journey, I needed a setup to where I could bring my new TT250 and camp, so I went with a rooftop tent set up with a hitch motorcycle rack. I have everything I need to hit the road and do what I love! I have been able to bring my TT250 to many unexpected places!  I got to ride it through a huge redwood tree in CA, ride over the Salmon Dam in Idaho, and cruise to Metropolis Ghost town near Wells NV. These are just to name a few, if you are interested in these places go check them out on my YouTube channel because I had a blast!

Redwood Tree

Drive Over Salmon Dam

Metropolis Ghost Town Adventure

   I have done some modifications to the TT250 including a jet kit, Risk handle grips, and the lowering seat. All of these can be purchased on CSC’s website. I would say the lowering seat made the biggest difference for me because I’m such a short guy, it was completely worth the money! I also made this custom bracket to mount an extra 5L gas tank. It’s nice having a peace of mind when you’re out in the hills far from home! That custom gas tank build is on my channel if you’re interested. I’m extremely grateful for all the help I got from CSC and being able to share my story with you.

Thanks for the great write up and photos Trever! Everyone at CSC Motorcycles are huge fans of your YouTube Channel, especially T.K.!

CSC Motorcycles is always looking for great stories from our customers. If you want to share your experience with one of our motorcycles or electric bicycles on our blog then write a couple paragraphs and send some photos to info@cscmotorcycles.com!

Full Steam Ahead!

People on the beach with a cargo ship in the water. Captioned "People getting in line for black friday."

Nothing has changed, people still want low prices and want their things now.
CSC is continuing to meet that challenge and is advancing full steam ahead.
Thank you for understanding that we have been extremely busy shipping out motorcycles and e-bikes and have not had the opportunity to update our blog in some time.

Blue 2022 RX3 TT250 2022 White

To get you up to speed, there is currently no wait to get the popular RX3 250cc Adventure and TT250 Enduro motorcycle, along with the new SG400 café racer and Haylon naked sportbike. All color options are available.

SG400 Gray Haylon Gray

 

You can also take immediate delivery of The WIZ electric scooter, Vista Cruiser cargo e-bike and 20” FT750XP fat tire e-bike.

The Wiz Red Vista Cruiser Black FT750XP-20 Black

Lithium batteries have special container shipment requirements and are not shipped with our bikes, but the wait is almost over.

XP750 Gen-3 White XP750 Gen-3 Black

We are very excited that the newly redesigned 20” and 26” XP750 Gen-3 fat tire e-bike is here and will be available very soon. The larger capacity 48V/16Ah Panasonic lithium batteries have been unloaded and are expected any day now.

FT750ST Blue

The FT750ST step through e-bike is also here and now comes in gloss white and satin blue. Their fully integrated Panasonic 48V/14Ah lithium battery is also on the way and will be ready to ship very soon.

Monterey Black

Keeping with the subject of lithium batteries, for those who have deposits on the stylish Monterey electric moped, their 60V/26Ah batteries are on the way and probably stuck in traffic on the 405 freeway.

SG250 Grey

For those who have their deposits in for a SG250 San Gabriel café racer, they are in the port of Long Beach and waiting to be unloaded. We hope to have them in our warehouse by early November. The SG250 see no changes for 2022, but why mess with a good thing.

RX4 2022

The RX4 450cc Adventure’s are in the que off the coast Long Beach. Good news is that steps have been taken to speed up the process of getting cargo unloaded and they expected to be unloaded and at our warehouse in early November.

Rumors of a mid-drive e-bike are true. Using a powerful 1000-watt Bafang Ultra motor, we are hoping it will win the race with Santa across the Pacific. Stay tuned!

FT1000MD

We hope everyone has a very fun and safe Halloween!
