Zong Ride to a Local Mountain

After his recent visit, The Zong missed FastDoc. Therefore, I took Zong for a ride this evening to a favorite, local mountain.



















I must say, I think the Zong has never looked better. Also, the Zong has never run better than now, with over 40,000 miles on the odometer!

P.S. Do you recognize any of the scenery, Brother Bill?

Thanks for giving the Zong some much-needed attention. Excellent pics as always.

Great pics, Brother Spud!

I hope your area is enjoying the marvelous heat wave we are. If FINALLY feels like summer!

The Zong is a fine riding motorcycle! :P

Beautiful pics as usual Spud . I'm betting your Zong was happy to get out and stretch it's legs. Sure looks good, you did a great job with all the mods to it.

Thank you, Pliskin. October is the last decent month for riding. When the temperatures are above freezing, and the roads are clear, I try to ride at least once every month during the winter. However, nothing beats hot summer weather for riding!

Wow, that looks AMAZING. Where is this local mountain? I have a tracker app on my iPhone (GPS tracker) and have started tracking any trips I make and adding them to my google account - would be cool if we started to share gps tracks of A+ great rides.

Really nice photos, great view!

Thank you, NDad. I don't have any GPS coordinates, but the mountain is located near my home in East Idaho.
