Husky Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 tonight drove for 2 hours on flooded motorways, couldnt see a thing and every few minutes i would lift away from the ground and float off like a sailing boat worst one being next to a lorry wet grip first class, water clearing first class, flood crossing fail i was nearly a few times. almost wished i was in the shed, ALMOST. just remember when you aqua plane for the love of god dont brake so many people do this! unreal! don't be one of them and get yourself killed.

Husky Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 thinking back i should have slowed down, i was going slower than 70 but it was so dangerous. BUT a bike went by at about 90mph. my jaw was on the ground! i still dont know how he was doing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT a bike went by at about 90mph. my jaw was on the ground! i still dont know how he was doing that? Thinner wheels for the win! It's all about getting the water away from the rubber underneath as quick as possible! I wouldn't like it though, been in wet on the bike and it ain't nice. Btw, 70Mph? thats pretty fast for floods!

Tay Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 good to know you're ok but dude 70??? it rained here on Monday, country lanes are pants when wet, you have to watch out for tractors and mud on the road, i didn't get over 50, was too worried about saying Bye Bye to the world.
