Took a couple of minutes to add my RX-3 to my American Family policy.

Sara at CSC sent me a tracking number. My fastest, orange RX3 has shipped from Azusa and is heading for Idaho. I will probably be assembling, and riding the bike on either Tuesday, or Wednesday of next week. Needless to say, I will certainly post photographs and my initial impressions of the motorcycle.
Until then, here are some photos I took yesterday. We received some snow the day before. My Zongshen ZS200GY-2 is rapidly approaching 69,000 miles on the odometer; it's a great little motorcycle. I'm sure it's successor, the RX3 will be another excellent bike. You need tires with an aggressive tread if you wish to ride off road in Idaho.

Yeah, I was not sure about removing them but now I have I'm glad I did.
If anyone lives where there's shed loads of sun I would suggest, if they're going to remove them, to do it pretty quickly .Just in case there are paint fade issues. |

I agree; the safety decal on the fuel tank should be removed immediately. However, the other decals are probably located on ABS plastic, which will need to be repainted in a year or two. Therefore, one could choose to remove the decals that time, just before he repainted the parts.
P.S. I like your new avatar, Kat.

The trip was a success.
I left at 0400 and hit my TOT within 5 minutes. Not bad considering the traffic on the 210. I don't think I could do that every day.
RX-3 transport device, 94 Ford F-150. Target for today. I would have been in and out, but I decided to get some lights. Rich installed them for me. Loaded and ready to depart. While I was waiting, I had the opportunity to meet and talk to Steve, Ryan, Rich, Lupe and Sarah. Nice people, every one. Steve took a couple photos of me and the bike. I may make the cut on the blog! The drive back was fine, just the usual hyperagressive Californians heading to Vegas for the weekend. I went straight to the DMV and got the VIN check out of the way. We have to do that when we buy a bike from out of state. I'll go back in the morning and get it registered and go for a ride after. Thanks to everyone at CSC for a pleasant experience.
