So, now that Rex is all broken in, I thought it might be nice it he got out and saw a little more of New England. Hopped on him bright and early last weekend. Pointed him North and didn't stop until I got to mid-Vermont (Castleton) to visit friends from my riding group. He made the 350 mile round trip day ride just fine as well as did his rider. Extremely smooth at 7500 rpms+ and I must say it was a pleasant ride. My friends up north were anxious to get a look at him. My friend Jack even hardwired my Garmin mount so I could have my Garmin charging while riding. He was impressed with the fit and finish and overall value to the bike. While I had a bit of a challenge keeping up with my friends on their litre bikes, Rex did ok considering he's a quarter of their displacement. So, another box checked for the RX3 - capable machine for a long day in the saddle on tar. Probably start getting him in the dirt next Spring to see how he does there but thumps up so far.
