Seeking insights on Commando twin tolerance to suck water in. I already know thermal shock is a none issue.
Its highly unlikely but entirely possible to completely submerge a Commando in the Ozarks. Once Wesley cross his low water cement pad 'bridge' in hi=ish water only a foot over top but fell through a missing section in the middle to tank bottom level to feel current instantly pushing over into the boiling down side now over head deep but nailed in with enough air box volume it climbed out coughed some then cleared up to climb out the creek valley then over a hump with sharp turn at base but forgot about drum brake so shot right off the turn into brush barely missing barbed wire fence.
Wes & I missed seeing comnoz at LOP Texas a few years ago when rain pinned down traffic d/t vision then eased up to ridable and headed out to almost get washes away as the water converged on hyw with truck wakes engine hight before getting under shelter and turning tails home when drained enough. SuVee almost got washed over an edge of this place my brother did go over but now both gone forever & new high bridge.
Above is the toe on ground other might relate too for some reasonable interest-feedback but its Peels head in the clouds that I'm pondering. I don't want to walk on water I want to ride across it. I'm really a boater skier not a cyclists so know how instantly a bit of wake of edge catch > SPLASH down. I've put a few running engine into the drink, mostly cracked block d/t thermal shock, others just dumped flush out good to go. I'd start shallow at first, duh who in their sane mind wouldn't? Why did chicken cross the lake to reach the other side.
