RX3's in Volcano!
Well what do you know? There I was coming back from Pine Grove on a little back country road that connects Pine Grove and Volcano....and I came up behind two bikes. They were going along kind of slowly, taking in the sights. I saw the rider on the bike in front pointing to the left toward Indian Grinding Rock State Park. Obviously they were from out of town and enjoying the beauty of what Amador County has to offer.
At first I thought they were on a Kawasaki, or Suzuki or some other adventure bike, then I thought. "No way those could be RX3's...", but the panniers looked familiar from pictures. I followed them into the park as they parked off to the side, I pulled up next to them and asked if they were on the new RX3. They said yes and then were kind enough to offer for me to check them out....which I gladly accepted! Needless to say the RX3 exceeded all of my expectations for fit and finish and one of the gentlemen was nice enough to allow me to mount the saddle and at 6' and 190....I was comfortable. The ergonomics were surprisingly well set-up also! I apologize that I can't remember their names but it was very nice to run across some of our fellow China Riders way out in Volcano. Also, they were nice enough to allow me to take a pic of this VERY rare sighting so I could share it here on our site! Ride safe guys! |
Thanks for posting the sighting, 2LZ. :)
I'm surprised to hear you say the RX3 "exceeded all of my expectations for fit and finish." It's a Zong, 2LZ. :wtf: Of course the fit and finish are excellent. ;) :hehe: Are you ready to join The Cult of The Zong? Of course, you realize, resistance is futile. :lol: |

So cool that you ran across a couple of RX3's! Did the guys confirm that they're members here? |

Nice to meet you 2LZ. Wade (blue) and I, Carl (orange) are indeed members here, but don't post to often.
Had a great time exploring the twisties around Volcano and ended up staying the night at the historic St. George Hotel in Volcano. Got lots of cool pictures that we will have to share when we make it back home. As of now we are down in Murphy's Ca. Drinking a cold one. |

By the way....not a half hour after we met, my neighbor walked over and I was telling him about seeing your bikes and he asked, "Was it a blue one and an orange one? They just now turned around in my driveway and headed back toward Daffodil Hill." Our place is right across the street from that driveway you turned around at and apparently, he said I just missed you. I bet Rams Horn Grade was a HOOT on those RX3's! Next time you and Wade are in town, give me a heads up and the next cold one is on Mrs 2LZ and I at the Whiskey Flat (St George).... |

Carl and I are both from discovery Bay California. Been exploring the Sierra foothills lately, getting better with every ride.
Jay we actually did a ride to MT HAMILTON a month ago which is pretty close to Milpitas. If you get a chance and you can ride it all the way to a restaurant called the junction. It's on mines Road. I would recommend the Wildboar burger! |

Here is some pics from this weekend. I was too tired last night by the time we got home to post them.
