I did have a cover, but our road is like a wind tunnel, so it was acting like a sail and blowing my bike around. It would be good to have yours though thanks man. Should I bring a bag or tank bag or are you going to bring it in something?

The Dullsville can swim. I tested that out during the last floods. It can swim even when the water is up to my knees. :shock:

It's (relatively) clean again! I cleaned the chain and lubed it up. The brakes are still really seized but I can't fix that yet without some time and expertise on how to take the calipers off. Riding usually loosens them up though.

The SV can definitely swim! Back in the summer when we had those major floods and everywhere was flooded, I took mine the "interesting" way home, and found a few rivers (previously roads) to try it out on. The water almost got me seat wet, but the bow wave infront stopped it. :riding:

Mind you... it did smell for about a week afterwards! :smt012
