And then point out the many China made parts on the vehicle. His theory is if he does know it is from China it's okay. He will not shop at Walmart because of this yet sends his wife there to buy stuff.

I am a realist it is a world market, we will keep fighting the government restrictions that keep us from being competitive with many of these countries. The only way for a small mfg. to compete is to adapt, improvise, and overcome.

sorry

Your Ural is not manufactured in the United States, either.

I was in the shop this morning and saw a silver bike there. It looked good! If I could have waited for mine, I would probably get silver.

Thanks Spud,
I have been lurking for quite awhile... Was almost going to get a hold of you to check out your bike before we moved from Moscow a few months ago. Now, I live in Reno and am contemplating heading to Sacramento this weekend to check out the RX3 at the bike show. Two years ago, the wife gave me OFFICIAL permission to get an Africa Twin IF it made it to the states. Now that it is coming here, I am thinking she's a bit big for what I want to do...that's why I am looking seriously at the RX3.

Jim

It's not far from Reno to Sacramento, Jim. If you can find the time, I think you would enjoy going over there to meet Ryan and Matt, and see the RX3 in person. Incidentally, it appears CSC is currently offering free shipping for the RX3.

You're TW is Japanese, but I suspect your work partner is ok with that.

Yes Japan is okay because right now we compete with China, Taiwan, and Malaysia on job quotes. And his beloved Duramax is half Jap

No problem he'll get over it

I would like to see it my bike has not yet been finalized, but that maybe a bike not available yet anyways.
