[QUOTE="eeksnake, post: 308633, member: 5664"] It's kinda hard to see it in the image but that solid tan color along the bottom of my lower fairing is the water level. The remainder of the tan spots are from splashing (even though I took it very slow.) When I said the water appeared to never reach higher than my knee, that's in reference to my observation of a pickup truck that crossed a lot more rapidly than I did and included the wave the truck was producing. My knee level, while standing on the ground, is approximately the same as the frame slider in the image. Again, I'm fairly certain that nothing from the axles and up went under water. Since I hate unanswered forum questions as much as the next guy, I'll check my final drive oil for water and, if necessary, will yank the wheels, inspect bearings, yada, yada, yada. I'll even do something different and post my findings in this thread. :P Wise advice. In this particular case, my decision to cross was made after careful assessment of the situation, weighing the risks against the rewards, contemplating possible alternatives and determining what reaching my ultimate destination was worth to me. In the end, I said "Fuckit!" and crossed the water. Right, wrong, indifferent, it was my decision and I'm glad I went for it. [/QUOTE]
