New RX3 Owner In SO CAL!

Good afternoon friends!

I'm new here and I'd like to take some time to introduce myself if you'll have me. I'm a US Navy Seabee currently in Southern California who just got home from my latest deployment a few moths ago. I've never been much of a motorcycle guy. Had a nasty spill about a decade ago that taught me how to touch my left thumb to my left elbow. That took the wind out of my sails for a long time. However when I got back State side a friend of mine offered me his motorcycle out of the blue, and his offer was so good I couldn't pass it up. It was a 2000 Kawasaki Vulcan with very few miles on it. After getting my feet wet with that, taking the basic and intermediate riders courses, and finally getting my M1 licence, I discovered that a cruiser was not the kind of bike I wanted to use as my daily driver.

Oddly enough, and I'm not here to spark any anger, Everide's review of the RX3 is what made me want one so bad. I saw his review on January 1st, and after reading and watching ever piece of information I could find online I ordered one on January 3rd. I simply could not be happier with my purchase or the awesome help I've gotten over at CSC. (I'm on a military base and their delivery driver was not able to get on base, so we worked together and got, uhh, creative...) I think the biggest thing is going into any purchase like this with a grounded sense of what you're buying. I know what the RX3 is, and thanks to Everide, what it is NOT capable of, and all of that together helped me make an informed decision. I'm coming up on my first oil change and I'm looking for every excuse to get out on the road. I'm also looking at selling the Vulcan that I've had for a total of 2 months!

I'm really looking forward to becoming an active part of this community you all have built here, as well as meeting some of you who may live in my area! If any of you are near the greater LA area, send me a message and lets get some riding in!
