Re: This Mite sound daft but ?
thats a different one? I know somebody who's mirror dropped off his ped, he leant down to pick it up, throttled still on (idiot) and it went off into a bush, hilarious.

An expression of my utter speechless puzzlement at your most bizarre and dumbfounding question.

Re: Have you driven your bike into a lake or canal?
I was following a tipper truck once, on an A road, doing just shy of 60. Then the guy went plunging into a huuuuge puddle (from a flooded ditch) that spanned both sides at a dip in the road. He then proceeded to slam on the anchors.
I braked as hard as I dared but couldn't stop before the burst ditch. The engine almost instantly stalled and locked the rear wheel. It got a bit out of shape but then straightend up and i stopped. It was so deep it was above the top of my boot when I put my foot down. 40 miles from home with a boot full of manky water. Niiiice!  I have no intentions to try riding into a canal just to answer your question tho.
