Yeah... I'm not sure what he was thinking?! Maybe he was just really HOT in his leathers and wanted to cool down. So lucky he didn't drown!

Funny thing, the thread I read just before this was, "Stupidest Thing You've Done on 2 Wheels". This guy takes the cake.

I've done some serious water crossings but you can't do rushing flood waters, that current was brutal. And you never ride into any situation you done have a exit strategy or destination . He was just ridding to the Great beyond ?
I don't know where he was going but he sure didn't get there any faster. WHAT Bike was that ! I am amazed at how far they got ! |

Its definitely a DR-Z400; couldn't tell is it was the S or SM model. Either way, it wasn't meant for that much water. Crazy Suzuki owners
