I went through a flood once on my ninja.
The road was flooded for a good 400m.
The water was up to the bottom of my boots. eep.
I couldn't actually see the edge of the road where the kerb was so I was keeping in the middle and watching what happened to the car in front. Scary stuff.
And the car kept on going slower and slower. I didn't want to have to put my leg down into the water if it stopped eeeek.
On another occasion with not quite so deep water I tried going for it a bit.... a hilarious "screen" of water shot up in front of me. I couldn't see through it. Anyone coming the other way would have seen something like a scene from the Abyss, with a wall of water coming down the road.

I just want to know exactly what to expect as the only person I knew who recently did his test died 2-4 weeks later totally randomly and non biking related... RIP

I'm looking forward to the unveiling of the 2009 R1. It sounds like it's going to be a completely revised model in every way and not an evolution like the 07-08s are to the 04-06s. In the German MotoGP FP2 Randy Mamola said he has heard they're trying to make it as small as the current R6, and they're small, with lots of new trick parts.
