Thanks for the link Joe,
I had been there before, but somehow I missed the magic button "for advanced specs" which lists the actual tire dimensions. |

Hey Joe,
Sorry to see you go, as you've been one of the best guys out there representing CSC and the RX3. Lord know....you get around! ;-) I do get the need for more power though. Fortunately, for the Mrs. and I always riding within 100 miles of our house, on twisties that keep the speeds below freeway speed, the RX3 is perfect for that. We have our little dual sports for trail riding so our RX3's never see anything beyond gravel roads. If our needs were more than this on a regular basis, like your adventures, I'd probably be shopping too. Good luck with the F8 and keep in touch!

Congrats on the new ride
my house has an RX3 (mine) and an F800GS (non Adventure version - His) I'm still learning on my RX3 and haven't put nearly enough miles on it - but foresee buying a larger cc bike at some point simply because to go anywhere out here where I am requires getting on the freeway for long stretches where the average speed of traffic is often 75mph. |

So it's fine that there are no defects! Apparently I'm just a little bit unlucky

After I got rid of the RX3 and said goodbye in this forum I keep lurking and have answered questions and some asked me to let them know what I’ve been up to...we’ll, I am sitting in Deadhorse Alaska at the end of the Dalton. I’ve posted some daily Ride notes and pictures on ADVrider. Check it out if interested: https://advrider.com/index.php?threa...nada-trip-2018
