Abusing a classic

[Nico-D]

My elderly mate Pete unexpectedly found some deep water down here in the parched south of Spain....that's a 'classic' ( but very beaten up ) old Yamaha Ténéré 600 1VJ..

he just about got through and stepped off as it reared up the bank the other side....he's a lucky old git ....air box is up under the tank on that model otherwise it would have taken in a lungfull of water..

Got the old bird upright and it fired up first time....

I found a shallower crossing on my borrowed DRZ-E ....

When you say "Abusing a classic" are you referring to your mate or his bike
