June Weekend Rides in Idaho

[zingshoen]

great views and a seriously modified bike with the "i m up to it look", the envy of one s youth

Breathtaking photos, Idaho riding must be some of the best in the world . I'm very happy to see you trail riding on the Zong again this year, I was worried that after you bought the XL you wouldn't use the Zong much anymore. The XL is a beautiful bike and I'm sure you appreciate the extra power, but for some reason your Zong just looks "right" in the mountains . Thank you kindly for sharing your rides with us, I wish I had scenic terrain like that to ride on here! 8)

Thank you, Stew.

I've developed a renewed, sincere appreciation for the nimble handling of my lightweight Zong. I was briefly addicted to the powerful torque of the XR650L, but I now prefer to ride my Zong on the mountain trails of Idaho.

Wow, that last pic really grabs me!

Stew, you do have riding areas like that. The unforunate part is that it's a four hour drive to reach it.

True, it's just far enough away that I don't get there often... Heck, think I've only been to Jasper and Banff a half a dozen times in my whole life. I ride vicariously through Spud

Thank you, Weld. Here are a few more photographs taken at that same spot on the trail.

Thanks for the fantasic photos, Spud!

I must say, your photos crack me up. It almost seems like your bike is doing these rides on its own. The photos are like what you might see someone take of a hiker posing at the great picturesque opportunities that arise while hiking.

Before you think I am insulting you :x , it's like your bike has its own personality and is in its late teen years--"dad, I'm taking myself on a long ride for the weekend...don't worry, I'll be okay...."

[SpudRider]

You're welcome, Culcune. Indeed, the Zong "gets around." Are you riding anything these days? :?:

And he also says "I need a new Trakmaster..."

Of course not! :? Darn personal finances At least I have a stable decently paying job, but not one that lets me "splurge"

However, I have a short term plan to fund one of the SSR 250cc enduros provided the price is right. Otherwise, one of the SSR/Skyteam 125cc CT-70 replicas (the smaller 125cc monkey bike replicas kind of scare me--read why in the video/photo forum with a video I found on youtube)

Kids these days don't know the value of money and earning and saving to buy what they want...
