My house at the time was at the bottom end of a street. We had a creek behind the house and everytime it rained, our street and drive was flooded.

I was out riding with a friend, it started raining, we hid out in Burger King until it let up.

Riding home the whole Main Drag was 1 foot over in flood. I coasted through that but when I got to my house, geez!

The driveway was maybe 5 yards from me, flooded street, I held the clutch in and the Current from the creek almost got me.

Literally, the water was up to my Tank. The next day the neighbor told my wife she saw my headlight underwater.

Made it to the Drive, pulled my '88 Hurricane 600 into the Garage, smoked a Cig while letting it run off the water intake.

The next day (I didn't sleep well.) I removed the fairings and ran the bike for a bit.

Have ever since been a Fan of the Hurricane!

 

When it rains, d'yu wear a snorkel and goggles now ? he he
I don't know if I'd've had the b..s to take mine through that.....respect to you!

 

Good effort Napalm1000! And good on the CBR!

My worst experience was riding over the QE2 bridge, 30 seconds before the ****ers closed it due to the high winds. I wanted to cry. Like a baby. Jumping off that bridge would have been a far nicer experience.

 

A pair of Arab Feluccas and a Norwegian longboat under the bridge - are you being invaded ?
There's only a slight chop on that water - maybe get a 96 model through it......[:-]
Can't say I'd have liked that crossing much either - I HATE wind, it's nearly been the end of me a couple of times on the bike...[:@]

 

Over here we have the worlds longest suspension bridge. Driving a bike on it during a good wind storm can leave wet spots on the seat....

I would not ride that on a bike,
I would not ride it on a trike,
It is too far from good dryland,
I would not ride it, Sam I Am.

(with apologies to Dr. Suess)

 

I would, I would.
Maybe not now, but whenever
I would if I could.
But I'm not in Canada, I'm In Australia..

 

Riding on that bridge would make you ill
Gill, Gill, you will need a pill
It makes my bridge look like no big deal
God knows how Gill's one would make you feel

 

Your humour is not that good you must agree
Driving on that bridge is a must see.
although it looks totally crazyinsane
come on down and ride it, and bring da Cane!
