Ha ha fuck you cagers guess who's just gone through the flood no probs Very Happy

Came across a flooded section of road today at least a foot deep.So there was a nice que of cars stuck in front of it and not going through.Pulled up behind them and had a Idea moment.Got bike on the pavement water was only about 6"on it and rode past the lot of them past the main flood and on to work Very Happy

Edit: the pavement was out of town so no pedestrians etc using it Thumbs Up

Every time this has happened to me I've gone through the flood water Smile

It's brilliant, just keep the revs up and don't forget to close your visor as I did once Laughing

I turned up for work in the middle of the heavy snow a few years ago.

Pissed off some coworkers as they could no longer claim it was unsafe in their cars. The manager would curtly state"well, he turned up on time from further away on a motorbike!"

Today I found it's entirely possible to wheelie a bike while fording water. Not on purpose admittedly, hit a submerged kerb or speedhump or something and didn't want to put my feet down and get them wet so gave it the beans and did the next five metre or so on one wheel.

Why do I only ever do boss stuff when nobody's around to see it? I need to start vlogging or something.

But yeah, some cars have intakes higher than on my bike but they still wuss out of driving through water. Wimps. Twisted Evil

Not a car driver myself so wouldn't know really, but would doing the 4x4 thing of following the wake not work? Razz
