Default Going vertical on the 250

Last night after some heavy rain I got the bright idea of going out and hitting some mud on my 250. I was crusing around and decided to cross a bar ditch half full of water. I got about 3/4 of the way through when the front tires lifted off the ground and I found myself sitting on my bike in a full vertical position. The rear tires had dug in and the bike was balancing on the rear rack. With the headlights pointing straight into up into the night sky I quickly let go and rolled to the left, fearing that I was about to get squashed. This didn't happen. the bike just sat there, the engine died I climbed out of the ditch and simply pulled down on the front rack to get my cat back on all 4 wheels. It took me a few minutes to get it started again, but it carried me back to the house.

I don't scare easily, but sitting there in a vertical position scared the cr*p out of me!
