New Zongshen RX3 (ZS250GY-3) Dual Sport

[SpudRider]

CSC posted a tutorial for fixing a flat tire by the trailside. I have added a link to this tutorial under the Maintenance subheading in the Zongshen RX3 Sticky thread.

I hope CSC got some measurements from the rear sprocket while they had the wheel removed.

Wolfman is pretty tough to beat, durable, functional, and made in the USA.

The highlighted cells show what I consider an advantage for overlanding south of the border, it's a subjective opinion.

Thanks for posting the side-by-side comparison of features, Mark. I agree with all of your subjective opinions.

I have heard nothing but good things about the Wolfman products.

Just got my shipping quote from CSC, approx $300.00 to Georgia. My break even on a fly and ride was $476. Looks like I'm going to have a shipping crate as well as a new bike in my front yard

I was also looking at the Wolfman Beta. Not sure whether the mini or the regular would fit best. Once you get your RX3, I'd like to hear how your mini fits.

I've built lots of stuff using motorcycle crate steel, including a trailer. Time for a welder.

Mark,

Did you request the shipping quote, or was it sent to you unsolicited? Are you getting tailgate residential delivery?

P.S. I have only received a 'quesstimate' shipping quote.

I got an email from Sara at CSC requesting my driver lic. # and delivery address. I live way back in the sticks, so I normally go to the carrers terminal
to pick up my frieght. I was planning on a fly and ride and asked Sara for a shipping quote and she fired right back with $300.

I have several freight terminals in my town. I also got an email from Sara asking for my delivery address, but I stipulated a residential delivery. I could probably get a much lower shipping 'guesstimate' if I said I would pick up the bike at one of the local freight terminals.

When you pick up your freight, do they load the crate into your pickup/trailer with a forklift for you?

Are there any of you picking up your bike in L.A.? I will be there on March 27, 28, and 29 attending Monsterpalooza. I have actually contemplated riding my TMEC to L.A. from Yuma, but then thought rental car might be best. Would like to meet up with anyone and can show you around, or tell you where to go. Let me know!

About 2 hours ago the Hanjin Germany had sailed about three-quarters of the way up the Kuril Island chain stretching from Hokkaido to the Kamchatka Peninsula. Still sailing along the Kurile Trench, the island of Shiashkotan was off the port side of the vessel. The last recorded position of the ship was:

48° 07' N LONG: 155° 37' E

Here are some photographs of the island and its wildlife.

About one hour ago the Hanjin Germany sailed abreast of Onekotan Island, home of Krenitsyn Volcano, which resembles the volcanic caldera of Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.











The vessel was sailing northeast toward the Kamchatka Peninsula at 13.1 knots from its last reported position:

LAT: 48° 51' N LONG: 156° 08' E

Here is a video taken by several Russians who climbed the summit of Krenitsyn Volcano.

It depends on the dock attendent, some dont have a problem helping you get it in the trailer and others just drop it on the dock and it's a struggle to get it on the trailer.

Found handlebar mittens on sale. Already ordered a set for myself.
