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.'

Excellent pics, as usual.
I'm glad to see that you're giving the mighty Zong some love.

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!

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

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...

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