Well, there's no doubt that crossing a river, pond, or even a puddle can be great fun, exhilarating in fact, that is assuming you make it through, because if you don't, the result can run from, well, mild to very serious, even leaving you stranded or walking out or with a costly

repair for your motorcycle, and it only takes one of many possible mistakes to ruin your
