Crazy idea

What if this site took all the tech goodies on here and published a book? Just an idea.

We have often thought Spud should publish The Book Of Zong :-)

I'm actually suprised that books still sell, with the availability of e-readers. The problem with developing a book is that it is static, whereas a site like this is quite dynamic. As long as the search function is working properly, this forum is better than any book on the subject.

That said, I'm from the old days, and I'd buy such a book if it existed.

The Path of Zong requires years of study, but the effort is worthwhile.

I have ridden approximately 61,100 miles on my Zong. When I reach 62,137.1 miles (100,000 kms), I will post a milestone thread. The riding season has arrived in Idaho, so I should reach this coveted goal fairly soon.

The book should be titled "Hits from the Zong".

The book should be called "The Song of Zong", given its epic mechanical life! But it just goes to show how good care keeps you going!
