nothing in comparison to those poor buggers out west but we've just had another flood here today
Fortunately before christmas I bought home 3 more bikes I'd stored at good ol' Mum's. I was worried about them for some reason and bloody glad I did. Only 3 went partially under this time..enough to get into the engines via the low pipes, slip in exhaust flanges and carb (no airbox on the GTS185 twin so it's copped a bellyfull, DT100 okay but no mag cover and believe it or not, an '06 Kymco Bug 50 scooter that I'd nearly finished doing a major repair job
)
A victim of the central Qld 2008 floods it was under water for 3 weeks then sat for 2 years behind a shed unmoved from where it all but perished. I've never seen a bike of any type in such a stinking rusting mess..even the instruments were packed full of silt and mud and nothing at all looked serviceable except the handgrips. Serious!!
Cut to the end, I'd done a number on it and had only to repair some electrical connections and doodads when good ol' Huey decided it was time to send down another lot at lunchtime..now it has another bellyfull
gotta see the irony
