This is the new bike folks, a 1994 Honda XR250L, notify the next of kin please.
(More photos to come when Ben gets around to getting the film developed)
Although it looks like Ben is miraculously skimming over the mud puddle unaided, there is a Honda XL250R carrying him. This puddle didn't look that deep! Ben's underestimation was nothing like Ross' in the photo collage below.
Ross Johnson (hereafter known as Monkey), thought he could make it, but alas, this airline pilot misjudged his approach to landing. What ensued was nearly a half an hour of tugging the bike out of 2 1/2 feet of very sticky muck.
NOTE: The Curious George MONKEY we found and placed on the handlebars.
