I just thought I would try to make this water crossing without thinking it through first. It was my first attempt at anything like this. I just felt good and wanted to go for it.
In hindsight, I should have not wheelied into the water....I should have just leaned back and went for a hydroplane.
I guess I learned my lesson the hard way. It didn't hurt a bit though and my bike started up with one kick!! The only downside was the 90 minute ride back to the truck after being soaked to the bone. It was probably 35 - 40 degrees Fahrenheit that day so it was a long cold ride!!
