Default Sunk the wolverine 450 today

Well I took my daughter (3 1/2 year old) riding tonight.

what I want to know is why is it that when you are alone 10 miles from the truck. You sink the wolverine in a creek that is waist deep. Let it die because you cant shift, hold the brake, and gas all at the same time, while wearing work clothes and boots trying not to get wet. Have to wade out and drag a now floating dead wolverine. Only have the stock barely adequate toolkit(had to get the dealer to put one in the bike because yamaha had forgot to pack one in the quad). Pulled the plug and blew water out of the cylinder, tipped quad on end to drain the exhaust and filter compartment) Got the wolvy restarted after draining the carb, only to have the clutch slipping a little, finally dried out on way home and acted right.

Want to know the worst part of the story......................

It's got to be some kind conspiracy as to why the worst things always happen at the worst times. And if you would've had a camera on you all this would never have happened. Either that or the camera would have gotten ruined when you forgot it was in your pocket when you went swimming.

True, I did manage to put my razr in my shirt pocket, and my fire radio on my shirt pocket before I got in the water up to my waist
