Hell, I rode my dinky little Benelli Supersport 250 through the Waimak once (not the deep bits - (well, just a wee feeder stream really). Just held up the revs and blasted through. No worries mate.
I think all the other riders that day thought I would drown in there...:moon:

Impressive , what's the bike ? - looks like a Suzuki V-Strom .

And I finially gave my Klim wet weather gear a workout dropping it off for a WOF today which was prebooked .

It worked like goretex does , flawless

Shamelessly stolen from another thread, but this is submerged.

Looks more like a Super Tenere.
Rode my Shiver through the flooded Plimmerton roundabout that morning. A car stalled in front of me. Water would have been a foot deep but bike sailed through.
Who says Italian bikes don't like water?

Tried my Klim jacket out yesterday in heavy rain. Works well.
