Amphibious SDR

Pleased to report that the SDR is capable of travelling through circa 15m of 150-225mm road flood water at 40-50mph without deviation or loss of electrics - rider drenched by 3m high' bow' wave, though, during unintentional test.

Uh-huh - "unintentional" ... Suuuuuuuure it was ... Good to know.

So, the flooding is as bad as the media makes it out to be?

SDNerd was hoping for some youtube of this amphibious capability ...

good to know

Thought I knew by now where the big one's were but half a mile past Brands Hatch, what used to be surface run-off across the road, wasn't.

Bad as they say here? Maybe but Bangladesh, Katrina, etc, it ain't - have had to remove fifteen big trees though since Christmas.

Looks like the bow wave of cold water split the hot radiator.

Not split radiator, just damaged rear core face behind fan so amphibious reputation intact.

Had me scratching my head on that one. Adventure bikes run thru deep water all the time.

Radiator issue is a red herring - still suprised that the battery, etc didn't drown.
