You looked understandably happy and relieved when she fired up. wink

Welsh Wales looks to have been wet - must be all the leeks they have. biggrin

Nice little well edited vid. Will show people the downside to riding through fords/deep bomb holes!

Was the angle of picture in the rocks did make tyre look flat. Had not noticed my mate in the back drop doing a leak.

How ever it did not end there but 45mins later after full carb strip down on the lane, cleaning blocked pilot jet, and float bowl full of sandy water!! After it coughed spluttered and stopped.

Once completed it did go on to complete a 90 mile trip that day, as this was in the first 9 miles...

Was a great trip and would recommend to all that have not been there.

Like the video but not the drowning. Did the same in Wales in a very similar looking puddle about 4 years ago disbelief

Engine was dead when it went over but the water was deeper than the TTR on its side so it sort of filled up disbelief

I did this on my OE on my first outing! Me (full body and even my head) and the bike completely underwater for a decent period of time. Side panel and airbox cover off, up on its back wheel and it started first time. Ran for the rest of the day with no problems as well!
