Well, I just had my 2nd accident in 20yrs. Coming home from work, pissing down rain & didn't see the water on the road.
Hit the water at approx 40klm/hr. It was about a foot deep. Almost made it through & then the front went sideways. Luckily the deep water protected the bike a bit. It didn't cop too much damage.
Scratched the RH side & the front edge of the RH side can. She was still running laying on it's side in the water. Shut it off, stood it up. All good. Started her up & rode home.
No damage to me other than a bruised leg.
