Fun today when faced with an inland sea between Frinton-in-Sea and Clacton-in-Sea or a 15 mile detour - A shipping lane of traffic stalled in the road/river so put it in 1st gear and went for it. Gradually it gets deeper and deeper almost up to my knees and feeling some pressure as it covered the exhaust - increase the revs with a corresponding increase in speed causes a bow wave to wash over the fairing and screen like a crash diving sub conning tower. Blinded in the wash cascading into my visor all I can do is steer in a steady straight line hoping I can avoid veering & crashing. Amazingly like the James Bond car emerging up the beach I receive a round of applause from the waiting oncoming car drivers watching agape as I hit land, steaming away with the heated grips and race cans on full blast.
At my destination I take off and empty my water filled waterproof boots and all that was missing was fish in 'em!
Roll on the Summer,,,
It's times like that you wish someone had filmed
Nothing worse than realizing you aint going to make it through the other side
