I'm surprised to hear you say the RX3 "exceeded all of my expectations for fit and finish." It's a Zong, 2LZ. Of course the fit and finish are excellent.



Are you ready to join The Cult of The Zong? Of course, you realize, resistance is futile.
Some day Spud! Some day..... I'd say my only concern with the RX3 is the power that they churn out only being a 250. I'd like to get a ride on one someday.

Slide on to one of those Victory's and cruise on out this way one weekend and I'll make it happen. Power wise I'd say the RX3 is somewhere between your Husky and your 200, more towards the Husky.

Spring???? phffffftttt. Oh wait, You're in Volcano which is sort of West Nevada. Here in the Bay Area we don't really have Spring. We do have Winter, which is normally about the second & third week of January. The rest of the year is called Riding. The only exception is Might Ride which is when the high temps make it uncomfortable to suit up. That's usually one of the weeks in mid September.

You're close. Volcano is just outside of Jackson. A mere 1.5 hours from the Bay Area. We ride almost all year here as well. Actually, it's not because of the weather, I just had some health issues and I've been benched from driving or riding for six months. Not my choice, trust me. Sneaking a quick trip in the car to the store in Pine Grove is a wee bit different than mounting the Vics and heading to the Bay Area.

Wishing you a good, solid recovery.
