Park it at the station mate if it looks like it actually will flood. You can even get it under cover if you go late at night / early morning in the push bike bit. failing that, we could tie it to 4 oil drums and make a raft!

I oiled it a week ago! It's just a losing battle against the elements if you have to keep it outside in the elements. I will do a proper clean soon I hope, as soon as the flood waters subside.

If it does flood and water gets in the engine then dont try and start it without removing the spark plugs. (water is not compressable)

Sound advice TSM cheers, but it's starting to subside, I think it will be ok.
