K's don't mind water

Haven't seen too many video of K's driving through high water, so here is mine.  Getting onto a ferry in Ometepe, Nicaragua.

Reminds me a bit of a couple films I've seen by an Indian film maker / motofan. There are some especially wild moments in "One Crazy Ride"

I rode from DC to Panama City a few years back on a 1985 BMW K100 with 100,000 miles on it.  Not a single problem, put about 10,000 miles on it during the trip.  The video is getting onto the ferry to get back to the main land.  The lake was extremely high and that area is normally dry.  It had a nice layer of algae over the cement which made it that much more fun.  Must have been about 50 people watching the gringos to see if we'd make it.  At the end you can see where the back end comes around as I showboat and rev the throttle.   8)

  A couple pics of the bike.

Sounds like a great trip! Thanks for the pictures of the bike. Now we need a ride report in the Slide Show section. ;)

Wow, just watched that trailer, looks a fantastic piece of film making, don't seem to be able to buy it this side of the pond though!! :'(
