Another RX3 on the Road

It took longer than I thought to have the RX3 delivered. But I suppose with the CSC guys at the Long Beach show, and the Thanksgiving holiday, two+ weeks isn't bad.







First discovery is that the kickstand needs a larger "foot". It sinks onto the FL sand pretty quickly.

Finally getting around to uploading my photos of the delivery of my RX3 in October. I had the trucker deliver to the company that I used to own and they loaded it into my trailer.

Taking the cardboard off










Decided that the trailer was too high to try to roll it off that pallet, so I decided to slide the pallet out of the trailer.


Wasn't easy by myself, but I did it.

Mission accomplished.
I got about 330 miles on it before winter set in. Snow on the roads, high temps in the 30s.
I did ride it to the Saturday morning breakfast m/c gathering and got a lot of positive comments and interest.

Thanks for posting the great photos. You ordered a lot of nice accessories. How do you like the tall saddle,and the auxiliary lights?

Wow Spud and Wily Dog, you both have really sharp eyes!

How does one identify the tall saddle versus the shorter saddle? The width of the seat?

Nice pics!

Those are the Tourfella mounts, right? Where is the cast grab handle ... is it replaced by the Tourfella top case mount?

Yes, the Tourfella luggage rack replaces the stock grab handle.
