Thank you, Spud. That was near my guesstimate for the RX3s as well.

And I'm thinking maybe the same number, or even hundred more for the second Rx3 shipment.

As the owner of several small businesses in the past, I was pondering if perhaps CSC might be expanding too fast with the addition of two more models.

No reflection at all on the products they are selling and supporting.

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, feel free to move it, or delete it.

This thought had crossed my mind, but I quickly erased it as CSC has obviously brought us a quality machine in the RX-3. With their strong relationship with Zongshen, I can only see their products improving over time, as evidenced by their second to none customer service and incorporating improvements that customers have requested. If a company is not up to its arse in problems, it can focus on building a better organization.

They have also attracted top notch personnel in sales, service and the back office. I have had the pleasure of interacting with most of them both in person and on the phone and they're not only professional, but really nice people who truly want to help.

My point is that this is a well run organization from the top down, who I'm sure will be very successful.

#2785 here and I ordered November 30th

its most likely that the sales numbers are for any sale, even replacement parts, not just the preorders.

with the lower numbers later its also possible that that reach a certain number like 3000 then start back over in the low numbers again, or probably they start back at a low number for each new year so the sale tracking is actually a combination of the year and the SO.no.

White, the slowest

An order placed around the 10th of January was just a few ticks over #3k.
I don't know if that helps the quantity mystery.

I chose white, the slowest color, because of my fear of heights and spiders.

You can go to Airborne School at Fort Benning to conquer a fear of heights. It worked for me.



A fear of spiders can take a bit more time and effort. This is one I saw on one of the recent Baja adventures. His name is Quentin (last name was Taranti...something or other...I forget). We may see him on this year's Baja ride. He lives just south of Camalu.



You didn't mention snakes. Lots of folks are uneasy around them. This is Rodney the Rattler, with a bit of the rabbit he had for lunch still hanging from his jaw. We saw him on the way to the cave paintings in Baja last year. It's the right time of year for the rattlers to be out and about; we might see him next week, too....



Now, on to this numbering thing, folks. I wouldn't read too much into that. Your number has little to do with anything, other than the pad the person taking the order happened to have open at the time.

The photo you showed of the jump school at Fort Benning wouldn't help me with my fear of heights. I am scared to climb too many stairs out in the open, and with no elevator, I wouldn't pass that test

Snakes and spiders like that are nothing. They are crawling all over my workplace here in So. AZ--the inmates are the ones to keep an eye on...

I've jumped off of enough things in the past and landed in the hosiptal. It just depends on who's chasing you. At least there they give you parachutes.

The TT250 bikes have been built, and are traveling down the Yangtze River to Shanghai.

I really like the tires. They look like a good compromise of street an trail.

I'm hoping so! Mrs. 2LZ and myself will be riding about 90% pavement doing our canyon twisties. I was wondering if the tires may be too aggresive regarding being more of a dirt-style tire for this. I've already got some Shinko's in my Amazon list for future purchase. Id like her to be able to wear out the stockers first though. We'll see!

Well at least the TT's are on the boat!...but it's good to see some pics, regardless. Which one is yours!?
