Does every one of those runs finish with a wrecked engine? Or don't bike
engines suffer from water ingestion the way heavier engines do? Or do
they cleverly hit the kill switch just before the air intake goes in?

I'm assuming they don't just leave all the bikes at the bottom if the
lake....

I would have thought that too. Bent conrod at the very least.

But I wasn't going to say anything, just to annoy Krusty.

Don't think it's too much of a problem with a single cylinder engine as
it hasn't got the other cylinders forcing the piston up, so it just
stalls. I've drowned many a trail bike over the years without bending
anything.

It would be simple to fit a ripcord kill switch like a jetski has

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Krusty"
<dontwantany(a)nowhere.invalid> saying something like:

I like the hydroplane - cheaper than wings.
