Message: [QUOTE="wr250rider, post: 1255397, member: 83311"] i was sober in the early afternoon and just got my ice tires back on was going under a wooden posted bridge on the lake and noticed slushy spots around the wooden posts from a short distance so i was probably in 4th gear then pinned it for about 5 seconds at about 60 miles on hour or so and before i knew it and never seen that it was open water for about 25 feet.the bike did not hydroplane at all and by the time it sunk it was at the edge almost where the ice started back up.if i remember i flipped over the bars hit the water and bounced back up and shot back on to the ice and slid for a good 30 feet at least,then crawled back with my weight dispersed back to shore.i was by myself and was only 40 feet from shore.once up on the top of the bridge,you could clearly see the bike on its side only under a few feet.100 feet of rope and hooks and a truck with hooks on it to pull the rope we had the bike 3/4 of the way up the side of the bridge dangling there tied off,could not get it up so we lowered the bike back down and drug it by hand and kept breaking through the thin ice until it was by shore.
