Going to work on my sv650 in Las Vegas during a flood

Just joined the forum coming from svRider.com. Figured I share this with you guys too. Decided to test out some rain gear while trying to go to work in Las Vegas. Bad idea.

Good effort sir. Also good to see the universal wave of good driving holds true on your side of the pond.

Got say the guy in the land rover got off lightly with just a flick of the finger.

Hope you had a fenda extender fitted to the front fender, you know SV650's have a habit of cutting out on the front cylinder in heavy rain :D

I just ordered one in fact. I don't think it would have helped me that day, though, since the front cylinder was completely underwater. I also put dielectric grease around the plug wire. Hope it helps if I go through this again.

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone!:D

Great video. That looked like a lot of fun (apart from the wet cylinder). Hope they gave you a pay rise for your efforts. :rolleyes:
