I think I'd see a car with water halfway up the doors and think 'Ooh, could be deep'...

What a plonker! Water too deep. Going too fast. Then tried to re-start it- a good way to terminally damage the engine.

Begs a question actually. Will the Wee/Vee electronics let you pump out a bike that's flooded (as in river water not petrol)? Last time I had to do that was a carbed F650. Lifted the front wheel to clear the exhaust, removed air filter and plugs, cranked it over, WD40'd, rebuild and fired it up. Took a full day and two fill ups before it was 100% although the oddly  :shrug:  it did turn in over 100 mpg for that tank  :shy:

It's obvious really, like all Wee / Vee riders we just expect them to go anywhere & everywhere!!!

There's "expecting them to go anywhere & everywhere" and there's taking the p!
What on earth was he thinking?
I baulked at water only halfway up my wheel.
What a numpty.
