So this was the scene at my appt last nite. My friend had come over to study/hang out and incidently left his bike outside. Little did we know, a torrential downpour was soon unleashed upon Bangalore. Next the power goes out, we suddenly realize the bike (A HH Glamour) is outside and getting pounded. By this time, a flood of biblical proportions has engulfed the street and people are wading knee deep into the filthy water. If you'll remember the Glamour has a V-shaped engine and the whole damn thing is pretty much floating already. So with the help of the guys downstairs and the watchmen, my friend and i pull the bike out and get it into the appt complex.

Next we start it, no dice...we keep kicking it, no dice. We decide to drain all the water out of the silencer, then kick it...no go, but i can hear it trying to come to life. Next, we siphon gas out of my bike (1 Ltr) and put it in my friend's bike. Still nothing, but its trying to start. Finally we get it running by popping it into 1st gear and pushing it...thing started up! i was really impressed..i thought the engine was hosed for sure; very impressive engineering on Hero Honda/Honda's part. Anyone else care to share stories like this? I think my RTR would have made it as well, but the electrics may have been hosed .
