Norcal gold country ride
My Buddy and I just made it back from a long weekend of riding through the gold country in Northern California.
I guess we should have watched the weather report before we left. This was the first real test of riding in the rain and no issues with the bikes what so ever, except us needing waterproof gear...LOL

Egads! It was certainly raining hard in NorCal.
 Thanks for posting the ride report.  Do you have any more photos?

That was a serious tease of a rainfall, even had some over here.
If you guys ever plan a ride that brings you through the South Bay, try to remember to give me a heads up. |

That's pretty cool! Was the station completely abandoned, or is it used as an antique shop, or something similar?
Do you guys often ride together? I think it would be great to have a riding buddy.

Here's another pict from last weekend. We ended up meeting up with two vstrom riders on Sunday that were out for a day ride. The RX3's kept up with the 650s, just had to pin it! ✊...

Did the Stromtroopers have any comments about the RX3's?

After looking them over, the other two riders seem to be impressed with the amount of standard features on the bikes. Also everyone that I have ran into seems to think they are a great deal for the $$. We do have the optional accessory outlets and LED lights which definitely help.
