The book is getting good reviews. I'm sure you will enjoy it, George.

I have pinned two new threads to the top of this forum. One thread is a tutorial for the disassembly of the top end of the NC250 engine.

The other thread is a tutorial for the assembly of the top end of the NC250 engine.

http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=15546

Both threads are open so you can add your helpful tips.

It would be nice for the smaller towns and cities to realize that they do not need 1600cc+ motorcycles to write traffic tickets.

The RX-3 has one huge hurdle to be accepted as a police bike. Harley, Kawasaki (When they did the KZ1000) and BMW all lease their bikes to the various departments and all the services are done at the local dealership under contract.

I doubt any medium to large sized department is going to change this paradigm, and a small operation would have to have someone on staff or a local dealer willing to do the work.

That's an uphill battle.

Cheers,

Dan K.

I just noticed that the CSC bike in the photo has the Chinese Public Security Bureau (JingCha) logo on the trunk.

Cheers,

You ought to check out the CSC Blog, if for no other reason than to see the beautiful models at the Long Beach motorcycle show. These ladies could certainly sell me an Indian motorcycle.

I'm with you. I wish someone would manufacture a bike in the United States that wasn't a cruiser.
