Hi folks.
First time poster long time lurker. I got the call from Ryan today. My bike is number 42. He said it should be built sometime next week. I ordered Orange. So it sounds like they got the container with the orange bikes. I can hardly wait.

when I called yesterday for a price delivered and availability, he told me he should have all his preorders done in a couple of weeks.

I think 7,000 rpms is fine for the first 500 miles. The NC250 engine doesn't begin to make any power until you get to 4,500-5,000 rpms.

Spud, you and Gerry seem to be in line with what I have always found to be a good break-in for a 4 stroke engine. I want to go through a bunch of heat cycles, load the rings so they seat well, avoid over heating, and do an early oil change. Basically, what I have always done. Thanks!

Thumbs Down

Sara emailed me from CSC to advise that the shipping company picked up my bike today and gave me my shipping number
I was so happy
But then the hammer dropped
When I went to check the tracking of my bike on the shipping website
I found out the bike was being shipped to the wrong location
Someone at CSC dropped the ball BIG TIME
I tried calling the shipping company, but they said the bike had already left the terminal
I will need contact the shipping company tommorow to make sure they can reroute delivery of my bike to the correct location, which will delay delivery at least 1 day if I am lucky
So disappointing after I was requested to email CSC a confirmation of the shipping address

That's terrible! I'm glad you found it right away. Hopefully they can reroute it without too much trouble.

I will need to call the shipping company in the morning to confirm the correction of address and I also emailed Sara and Ryan at CSC to look into it too

Andrew has about $4000 of farkles, doo dads, and goodies that he's been accumulating in anticipation of his RX3's arrival.

If he's riding today, they may collect dust until November when our weather cools down.

If he's farkling right out of the box, he may not be ready to ride until September.
