Know your bike

[Gumba]

Simple things we forget!
Make sure you know where your spark plug is on your bike and how to get to it with the correct spanner!
A fellow rider drowned his gs 1200 adv.
Scary situation, he still doesn’t know what he did wrong, but went over a low level bridge head first and was trapped under his bike , luckily I had stoped as I couldn’t see him in my mirrors.
Bike was completely submerged.
With farmers around we retrieved it .

Sjoe that river looks like its flowing quite strongly! With the guy trapped beneath it could've ended badly, glad you guy could recover it. And him. So, could you get the bike running again?

depending on flow rate and level changes, those bridges generally like to grow some green slippery snot that no wheel can get traction on. if he cant remember, did you check for concussion?

Unbelievable, took 3 hrs removing crash bars, and plastic. Once plugs wer out , cranked it for a min then opened throttle until could only smell petrol vapour. Put plugs back and started easy. Duct taped plastic up and never missed a beat again.
