I just posted a ride report of our trip up to Rollinsville and the Moffat Tunnel. Bonus pics of some spooky cabins we found up there!

"The CSC Blog reports a fellow rode his Zongshen RX3 a distance of 30,000 kilometers from China, to England. He will complete his ride in Barcelona, Spain, after traveling a distance of 20,000 miles."

That should answer any questions about the RX3 being a real "Adventure Bike".

The rear sprocket is too small to take advantage of the one pumpkin-power engine.

It's a small power plant, but I bet it can peel out of the parking lot. Makes me want to do some canyon carving!

Looks like it's up on blocks. I hope the engine didn't seeds. Maybe it's just out of juice.

Who makes the center stand? I want a Cool-Whip center stand, even if it doesn't lift the rear gourd...er, wheel, off the ground.

Since we are having a Halloween motif, I thought you might enjoy the following video.
