I'm betting there was someone in the vicinity holding someone else's beer.  =D

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Well thanks for the backstory but the scenarios I had in my head were funnier.
Foot luck with the recovery. Be safe.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

So after being submerged even in fresh water, can the vehicle be rehabbed back to working order?

hey bubba, hold my beer and watch this.........................


Personally, I'd just hire someone that knows what they are doing, to recover the Mule.  Or just write it off.  Sitting around in water sure isn't doing it much good right now,

Probably need a new motor but even if it's dead I am reluctant to leave it in a lake. More of a no littering thing than a tree hugger thing

I hope the kid didn't get in too much trouble for that lapse.  We all have stuff like that happen.  At least I do.  Maybe not you.

Got off my motorcycle once in front of a bunch of girls standing around a coffee shop, swinging my leg high in the most macho manner possible, smiling at the girls.  Who smiled back.  Took one step away from the bike when it fell over.

I had forgot to put down the kickstand and it just balanced itself there for about a second.  

Me: :facepalm:

Girls:  :rofl:

Remarkably no one is blaming the kid as a matter of fact the kid's father is saying that he did it.
 but I'm watching the kids face when we talked about this and I'm pretty sure it was the kid that did it . I don't think Dad is lying to protect the kid I think that  he doesn't want to admit that he allowed the kid on the equipment

Wait until you are in a busy bank parking lot at noon on your high strung RD350 2-stroke bike, give the kick starter a half-hearted stab, hear the engine light off, grab the throttle, dump the clutch and to your horror discover that the engine kicked back and fired up running backwards, quite possible with reed valve 2 stroke engines, as it rockets backwards between your legs, the flip-top gas cap almost emasculating you leaving you and your bike writhing on the hot Louisiana tarmac to the delight of the lunch time crowd there to deposit/cash their paychecks. Yes, yet another proud moment in my life...

Boysen reeds, Wiseco pistons, Hot coils, Dyna III electronic ignition, bigger carbs, K&N Pod filters, TZ type chambers, porting. It was a different sort of beast at that time.

If it rolls fairly easily underwater, why not put a line on it and pull it to an easier location to retrieve?

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
