Grin Today is my son's 19th birthday but I got the present!

After some telephone legwork on the part of Ryan and my friendly banker the ink is dried and the deal is done. My order is placed for a white 2016 RX3 slice of heaven. I've a feeling that was the easy part. As Tom Petty sang . . . The waiting is the hardest part! On a side note ... This journey for me began during the initial Don't Miss the Boat promotion. Unfortunately at that time it wasn't meant to be but with patience and assistance from Ryan at CSC it's now completed. So - - - If you're lurking here and just can't decide what to do or if you can make it happen don't hesitate to email or call Ryan. I'm telling you straight up - the guy is first class as I suspect the entire organization is as well. You'll get top shelf service no matter the outcome! Don't put it off any longer... Get that RX3, TT250 or RC3 ordered . . . You'll feel great

Congrats dpl096! And very happy birthday to your son! So... is the RX3 for you, or for your son? Why not get two? (Yeah, I know... I'm such an instigator.)

Ryan is awesome, as is the whole team at CSC. Just genuinely good folk... all of them. Glad that you were able to put the deal together and a bike has your name against it! Looking forward to the delivery/uncrating pics and ride reports!

Thanx RT - I can honestly say I'm more excited about this bike than I was when I ordered my FXDX - to be a part of this RX3 China Riders brotherhood is very appealing to say the least. Actually the poor bike will get ridden by all 3 of us, me him and momma. Honestly I think the boy would be more inclined to go the Hawk route ... I'm trying to talk him into a TT250 .... excuse of the old man to spin it around too!

I've got my Harley H.O.G. card ... do I get a Zongshen Z.O.G. card as well ! LMAO

Thanx Ron .... Honestly I didnt ask. I'm trying desperately not to be too much of a pest after all the emails and phone calls he and I have had over the past few weeks and last fall. I recall him mentioning it being a matter of a few weeks. I was going to go through your posts to get an idea of your time frame ... do you remember? Seems to my you posted you have ordered early in the month of April but that might not be right.

Congrats dpl096! Awesome choice! LOL! Maybe Spud, being the "Grand Poo-Bah" of the Cult of the Zong, should make some Z.O.G. cards! Do I hear an "AYE!"!? ;-)

Dpl... great to hear you did it! I know you were back and forth on different bikes. You definitely did your research. It's been over a month that you have been asking questions and dealing out your wisdom (). I have beenoff line a bit doing my Mc training (100% on written today). Once I get the endorsement will get a few years enjoyment with my bashan ,then will probably stick with the long range plan and keep my sights on that zong450.



Happy 4 U !
