I posted this In a different topic and no one seemed to want to touch It with a ten foot pole. I'm sure the few people that read It think I'm a idiot but I think It's possible so I started a post on It to get some opionons about It. what I have been wanting to try Is this, You see these guy on videos crossing 100 feet of water on 250's pinned In fifth on knobbies. They just barely make It across and you can see the bike running out of power and momentum but they are actually ridding on water. On a Kx500 with 70+ bhp,paddle tire,ribbed front tire and the perfect run in on some water that was like glass I bet you could run on water just like the snowmobiles do but I do not think you are goin to cruise around In circles. I will bet you money It will work, It might take a few tries but I think It will work. I'm not sure I want to hit the water at 80 mph but I sure would like to try It. I think the ribbed font tire would do a really good job of hydroplaning because It would not want to let water go out sidways from the tire. I'm sure there's a formula you could use to figure out the speed like the one you use to bare foot water ski. One of those old wet bikes would probably be good practice before actually tring It. You could probably get some T.V. show to back you and video It.
