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

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.

Modding is half the fun! Looks great!
Neutral - Yep...it's not getting much easier to find when hot. Cold, no problem. At a dead stop, I noticed that it's easier to find from second gear. I've just created a habit of clicking into neutral in the last 10 feet rolling up to a stop.

Break-in is complete
Did a ride with a buddy of mine yesterday who has owned tons of bikes, raced MX and track and he was super impressed with the RX3. He's going to be tracking it and has a few friends who he will recommend it to if I find it holds up well. Today I did a LONG ride to get me to the 500 miles mark on the bikes so that tomorrow I can do the chain adjustment and the dreaded valve check/adjust. Here are some photo's from the two days rides. Today was very scenic. I took the Mukilteo-Clinton Ferry out to Whidbey Island and drove the length of it coming out a Deception Pass. I then worked my way home on a back road highway. Great day on the bike.

Thanks for sharing the photos, Joe. I always enjoyed that part of the country in warm weather. Brought back good memories.
