Some more pics to share. These are off my camera.



An amazing sunset after a thunderstorm outside of Town X, Idaho.





There was hail in this storm as well. If we look happy, it's because we were. Wet, but happy. Later on I got a little hypothermic, but the Zong's electric grips helped a lot.





Spud and the Mighty XR650.



Especially in Utah, the wildflowers were abundant.



Mud.



More mud.



Spud preparing to cross Cow Poop Creek.







Spud assessing his kingdom ;-)



A weird formation I flew past in the desert north of Spudland. I can only assume this is a caldera??

That's my favorite photo. It shows my best side.

Happy Doc!


It's interesting to see the Zong and the BRP in the same shot for perspective. I'm amazed at how similar they are in size.

The main difference is in their ergonomics. The seat of the Zong is much lower.

The BRP weights about 45 pounds more than the Zong, and the saddle is much higher. The BRP also has a lot more power, and almost twice the suspension travel of the Zong.
