Zongshen 200GY-2: 65,000 Milestone!
 
On July 23, 2014, I took my trusty Zong for a ride to the Blackfoot Reservoir in East Idaho.

Along the way my Zong recorded 65,000 miles (104,607 kms) on the odometer. :)

The Zong reached this milestone at the following location.

As I approached the Blackfoot Reservoir, I stopped to capture the following photographs. :)

Riding along the east side of the reservoir, I stopped to admire the view several more times.

Taking a different route home, I stopped for a rest in the restored town of historic Chesterfield. :)

The 'newer' gasoline pump has the price set for 39 cents per gallon. Indeed, those were the 'good old days.' :tup:

Jealous over here! :grr:

Excellent pics, as usual.

I'm glad to see that you're giving the mighty Zong some love.

SpudRider 08-02-2014 02:54 PM

Thank you, gentlemen. :)

I wonder if I can get even half of your mileage out of the TMEC? I am up to over 1300 miles on the '13 since new in two months, so quite alot to go!

SpudRider 08-02-2014 04:22 PM

I wish you good luck with your TMEC 200, Culcune. :) Start riding; you only have 64,000 miles to go before you catch me. ;)

culcune 08-02-2014 05:25 PM

I am closer than I thought! I just checked the odometer and I have 2716 kms which came out to 1629 miles when I multiplied it by 0.6...

Spud that's beautiful area for riding and fantastic pictures, Thank you. Impressive mileage for sure, nobody is going to catch you, well at least not for a while. ;)

SpudRider 08-08-2014 12:01 AM

Thank you, Pliskin. :)

I am waiting on the 100K report. Spud, I keep my eye out for a Zong. It never shows up in SE Kansas.

You may have to settle for a TW200.

Keep looking; they show up occasionally. However, used Zongs are pretty much as scarce as hen's teeth. ;)
