My good buddy Bob rode up from San Diego yesterday to help us with the first CSC Tech Day, and early this morning I found these cool photos from him in my email…
I used my iPhone for the Periscope app…whatever it sees is what gets broadcast to the world. Cool stuff.
Thanks very much, Bob! It was a good day and a lot of fun.
I had a great ride on the TT Special yesterday afternoon, and I’m going to hop on my RX3 in an hour for the 20-mile ride to the CSC plant. My deprimed, resized, and trimmed 30 06 brass is kicking up a ruckus in the tumbler out in the garage (I’ll finish reloading it tonight and send some 173-grain full metal jacket Garand rounds downrange tomorrow). I’m going through the TT Special photos I grabbed yesterday. The aroma of a fresh pot of Colombian coffee is permeating my kitchen and I’ve got a tasty cup in front of me. The ride next month in Colombia and the Periscope broadcast later this morning are on my mind…
Life is good, my friends. See you on Periscope later this morning…
Hey, good stuff here, folks. We’re now set up to broadcast on Periscope, and we’re going to do our first Periscope broadcast (on changing your chain) this Saturday. It will be available worldwide. If you want to watch it, allow me to walk you through what you have to do.
Go to your app store (on your iPhone or whatever device you’re using) and download the Periscope app. I think you can do that on your computer, too. Guys (and gals), I’m no expert on Periscope, and by tomorrow you’ll probably know more about this program than I do.
If you want to follow us, our Periscope name is CSC Motorcycles. You can type that into the Periscope app to find us, and then tell the program you want to follow us. You should do this today before I start the broadcast tomorrow. I understand that if you miss the broadcast tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. (ant that’s Pacific Standard Time, folks), you have up to 24 hours to catch it as a replay (and then it’s gone forever). We’re not going to put this stuff on as a permanent video, although we may opt to post a maintenance tutorial on this topic later (photos only; no videos on the maintenance tutorial).
Your other option, of course, is to come on over to the CSC plant tomorrow and watch the chain change in person, and maybe even throw a new chain on your RX3 in the process. Either way, we’re good to go!
Folks, meet our good buddy Richard and his new RX3, a So Cal rider who is one happy camper…
Richard just picked up his beautiful white RX3 this afternoon. Richard, ride safe and enjoy your new motorcycle!
We’re going to be at the Sacramento International Motorcycle Show this weekend, folks, so if you want to see the RX3 up close and personal, be sure to stop by!
Ryan and Matt are going to be manning the CSC booth. They’ll have several RX3s on display (including one of the Special Edition bikes), and they’ll have copies of 5000 Miles At 8000 RPM, too!
Yep, we are at capacity, but shoot, maybe we’ll go a bit over. Wanna go on a ride you’ll be bragging about for the rest of your life? Baja, baby! Wouldn’t you like to be in the video we on our March 2016 Baja Run?
Our first Tech Day, focused on chain replacement, is this Saturday at 9:00 a.m. We’ll have coffee and donuts, and as soon as I figure out how to work this Periscope program, I’ll post directions on how to observe what we’re doing if you’re not able to make it to Azusa Saturday morning. Stay tuned!
And you’re seeing it here for the first time…literally seconds after we added a spot of fuel and connected the battery…
More to follow, but to answer your question: Yes, we are importing this amazing new sportsbike!
A cool read, my friends….hot off the press!

Arches is a great destination…one of most beautiful National Parks I’ve ever visited.
Our good buddy Dan alerted us to an article on small-bore ADV bikes over on Bike Bandit.com…
It’s interesting to read what passes for journalism these days. While generally favorable, the article lifted one of my photos without permission (if you BB guys read this, I hereby give you permission to use the photo) and they got one of the magazines that road tested the RX3 wrong. They also panned us for lack of power (they misquoted the magazines that tested the RX3 in making that claim). You good blog readers might want to weigh in and offer your impressions of the RX3 (just to set the record straight).
