Springtime Ride in Idaho: Zongshen RX3

SpudRider · 04-12-2016, 11:47 PM

The springtime weather in Idaho is very nice this year. I took my Zongshen RX3 for a nice ride, and captured a few photos of the bike with its new, custom paint job.

You live in some sweet country, spud!

Thank you, amigo.

That's a very nice compliment from someone who lives in beautiful Colorado.

Gorgeous scenery and bike, Spud! Well done on the great looking paint job!

SpudRider · 04-13-2016, 01:43 AM

Thank you, amigo.

As always great photos. What kind of wildlife do you run across in the more rural areas? And I am not talking about naked hippies!

Thank you.

I frequently see moose, elk, pronghorn antelope, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, whitetail deer, and mule deer. In fact, I was charged three times by a cow moose several years ago, while riding single track on my Honda CRF250X.

You have beautiful mountains there Spud. Excellent job in painting your Zong blue. Painting can be therapeutic.

Thank you, Pliskin.

Indeed, painting can be therapeutic.

If you have time, please post a ride report from Oz. I always enjoy seeing your black and yellow Zong.

Mars is so beautiful this time of year, Spud! ;-)

Once again, thank you for the pics. It's nice to know that Spring is hitting there. Here in Nor Cal, we have another one coming through but it'll be warm by the weekend. I'll end up on Q, for sure....

Here in Idaho, we love our 'elbow room,' 2LZ.

How do you cope with living in densely populated California?

Aroud here, if the nearest neighbor is less than hour's drive away, we start to feel cramped and crowded.

LOL! Well, depends on where you are here. I have a few neighbors but at least it's a brisk walk!....but I must admit, your part of Idaho brings a whole new meaning to elbow room! :-)

I always love riding in Idaho, beautiful country.

Aww, c'mon. Most of us are in our sixties and seventies now and don't even want to see ourselves naked.
