Pics! Pics!

FJ, conrats on your new RX3.

Feel free to disreguard my comments....;)

Those seem like high dollar tie down straps.

I've used these successfully for several years with different bikes and trailers.

They have integrated soft ties, and clips on the hooks so they won't come off when hitting a bump.

yes, but you still need to figure out a way to swing it...you'd be known as that teacher with the cool bike.

the red one is nice

It's HERE!
 

So fantastic news for me. Bike showed up today around 11am and the crate was in perfect condition. The driver was cool and asked me to open it up and make sure everything was in good shape before I signed for the package. It was. I got it unpacked, inspected more closely, put on the mirrors, wind screen, top box and upgraded front brake pad. Scared myself as I rolled it off the pallet as at the mid-point my feet didn't reach the ground...steady!!! It fired right up, did a couple of laps around my neighborhood to kick start my 25 year old neurons about moto's. I then rolled up to the gas station, filled it up and then rolled back home to put in some injector cleaner/lube and then headed out for a nice day of 100 miles at sub-5000RPMs. Man, the bike is easy to ride. Front brakes are breaking in nicely. Currently having a hard time finding neutral unless I give it a bit of gas and then it will drop in fine. I'm going to do another hundy tomorrow so I can spend the rainy weekend changing the oil and doing all the other farkle adds.

Sounds like a great adventure - but, no pictures; it didn't happen.
Just kidding, but your link does not bring up any photos.

Try now! First time trying to post photo's....I'm a noob!

Fantastic looking bike! I need to start rolling pennies so I can get one.

Copy and paste the IMG link in your post.

Awesome! Congrats! Yup...we're already getting rain this weekend south of you also...

Never get tired of seeing those box trucks giving birth :yay:

Photo b pics were spectacular.

Thanks

200 miles
 

Got out yesterday and put in another 100. Now I can do the oil change and since the weather is getting wet I'll spend some time adding farkles.

Farkles
 

So I did the 200 miles oil change and cleaned the screens and changed the filter. Along with this process I removed the factory skid plate, cut off the mounts and then put on the freshly painted upgraded skid plate. I also put on the quick change oil kit. I added the handguards, Genssi LED headlight, center stand, plug for trickle charger, USB ports with cig adapter, voltage & thermostat cig plug, phone mount, phone stylus, spotlights, SpeedoDRD, Hyperlite brake lights, and ran the wire for the sidestand cutoff mod that will get done when the switch arrives. I've got a few things left and I'll post photo's of those also.

Get some saddle time in after all those farkles. The next 3 legs of the Washington Back Road Discovery Route will be next summer. And if it turns out to half as fun as the first 3 were you won't stop smiling for weeks. Myself along with 3 others took our Zong's on some gnarly stuff and the RX3 excelled. But most of all enjoy your new bike I love mine every time I ride it.

That's awesome. I will and I am planning to do some off-road training and doing the WABDR next year!

Neutral is always hard to find. Main sentiment amoung us Zong owners. It's just a quirk with the RX3 I guess. I have 3000 miles on mine and it's no better than when new. But the bike has so many other outstanding features it doesn't bother me.
