Ride up Mt Rainier on the RX-3

I bet the RX3 was a great way to handle the bumpy roads. How does it pull at altitude?

Great pics indeed. Never get sick of seeing those. RX3 at altitude did really well didnt notice much of a difference really. Went from 0-6500+ so wasnt as extreme as some guys on here are doing. Plus mine is still breaking in only 400 on the odo so far and still getting better with every mile and then I'll be able to more accurately judge how it does in all conditions.

I know members 3Banger and Detours both live & ride in the Colorado Rocky mountains and are pleased with the bike. Maybe you can check their posts.

Having visited here several times, you are well familiar with the elevations in East Idaho.

The U.S. Delphi EFI does an excellent job at all altitudes. This bike makes good power for a 250cc engine.

Another displaced washingtonian checking in. Grew up in Kent, Everett, Lynnwood area. Went to the great UW as well. Have property up in Concrete, where the North Cascade HWY goes right through. Sadly, never rode that area as I started motrocycling much later in life.

Can't complain though, it's high 70's here in So Cal.

That's where the amazing Rasar State Park is. Mrs. Weldangrind and I love that area.

If you ever get up here with your RX-3 kumatae definitely let us know. I suspect a ride/meet up with Weldangrind wouldnt be out of the realm of possibility, and between the RX-3 owners I've talked to locally I think an 8 man RX-3 ride sometime this spring or summer wouldnt be impossible either.

As long as you fine people would accept me on a non-RX3.
