Zongs are good machines, I look forward to maybe getting mine back. :( ...
Thank you, Doc. Indeed, the Zong is a great little motorcycle! I am very pleased to know you have joined the Cult of the Zong! I hope you get your Zong back with only minor damage!

So, as I see it, after 6,000 more miles you'd have gotten as much use as I did, out of an XR, which is universally recognized as one of the most reliable bikes ever made!
My Zong has proven to be a very reliable, highly enjoyable motorcycle; I am very glad I bought it! I will continue to change the oil, adjust the valve clearances, and keep my fingers crossed.
