thanks, when i bought my tag they looked at me kinda funny, the girl that worked there wasn't familiar with paper work. anyone else had that problem?

FastDoc · 02-27-2010, 08:40 PM

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!

That deal seemed almost too good to be true.

Very nice Chevys too, BTW!

How long did it take to put the Zong together?

Thanks for posting the photos, Alan! I didn't have any problems registering my Zong in Idaho; I walked out with my license plate ten minutes after I arrived at the DMV.

probably bout 8 hours, but i has several problems. i had misplaced a lot of the tools i needed and had to round them up. I also had a fuel leak, the o ring was ripped up and had to be replaced, i went on and changed the oil and it took a while to figure out how i wanted to extend the positive wire to the battery. i also used mediam strengh loctite on about all the bolts i put back on. getting on the internet to try to figure out the best way to fix those problems took an hour or two also.

There you go! It would take my convertible Vette, that's for sure! 8O

Where do you live, looks like some nice desert scenery.

He lives in Georgia, Doc! However, I thought the same thing for a moment when I saw his truck parked in front of that mining operation!

Wow. I'm usually never that far off! :P

alan566 · 02-27-2010, 10:51 PM

yep i work at a mine site. to bad they won't let me do any riding around there. i like vettes too i just couldn't afford one and beable to do the things i wanted to do to it.

Not much desert in North GA. Just mold and humidity.

alan566 · 02-28-2010, 10:49 PM

you got that right katoranger.
can you do much trail ridding with the stock tires? i know they won't do much good in the mud but im thinking the stock tires won't much past a dirt road? i like the look of the stock tires on this bike and i will be on the road 95% of the time so im not sure if i want to put some knobby tires on it or not. i was thinking about going to some ORV trials but not sure if the tires would let me. What do ya'll think?

FastDoc · 02-28-2010, 10:52 PM

If they are the same as they were on my Zong te tires would not be good for more than a gravel or dirt road. But, it you wanted to try an OHV park, and you were careful you would not hurt anything. The real money though is on a SpudWheel in 18 inches.
