Firefight911 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Danny (Huzband) made the BMWON magazine. Feb.2009, pg. 14. And, yes, you are ALWAYS 'In over your head!' Link to comment
Francois_Dumas Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 That's gonna cost him. Gotta go and buy a bigger helmet now ! Link to comment
Calvin (no socks) Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Francois, he already wears the largest made.... 2009 be nice, be nice! Link to comment
tallman Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Over his head? Bah, the water was barely over his ankles. Link to comment
Paul_Burkett Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 He's that Daniel guy at the bottom of the page. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Ya had me thinking (I know dangerous) that you needed to widen the doorway to park Mr Pierce in the living room. You know... away from the two hoodlums in the garage. Pat Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 For those of us who do not get BMWON, can you maybe elaborate? Link to comment
ltljohn Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Here ya go Shawn Danny's shining moment in BMWON Link to comment
Richard_D Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I should be in that picture too. I went in the water to help him get out. Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 That's gonna cost him. Gotta go and buy a bigger helmet now ! Just don't get the same style as Dianne this time! Rich, Here's one to show you were there. Not in the water, but close... Link to comment
dewtwo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I made sure I got a chance to call him before he would no longer speak to "the little people". You would think by now he would know better... Link to comment
Huzband Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I should be in that picture too. I went in the water to help him get out. It's true. Without Richard, I'd have had water in my helmet. Really! I was listing hard port, up to my knee, & going down FAST. I called for help, & Rich came in, bad back & all. BTW, photos were by Roadscholar. See the series here. Oh, & Tim? The two pics you've seen are two of the shallowist parts of the creek. Look to the right of Rich. He was standing on the rock out of the water, & the one just under, helping to keep me from going under. The water there was valve cover deep, & there was no good footing. Real men ride K bikes. Hmmph! If only the GS were a trials bike. Thanks, Phil, I owe you one. Link to comment
StuGotz Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oh and Danny... If you'd have turned left, ya coulda gone downstream. Nice stuff Hollywood, I'll get your autograph at the UN. MB> Link to comment
Huzband Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Silly Salt Lake Boy, left & downstream of the rock, it was an easy six feet deep. I don't think so. I'll bring prints. Autographs five bucks a pop. You know what they say; always opportunity in a down economy. Link to comment

sgendler Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 you just weren't going fast enough! Link to comment
tallman Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Pshaw, I've had water over my boots on I-10, in hurricane feeder bands. We had to go over to the access road. There were cows. Looking forward to the new K GS Adventure. Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Looking forward to the new K GS Adventure. Yeah, that'll make even a gravel parking lot an adventure.... Link to comment
Richard_D Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Danny does deserve alot of credit for having the strength to not drop the bike. I bet there's not too many people who could keep it going like he did before help arrived. That was one tricky crossing. Link to comment

Richard_D Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 We remember where that spot is. Anyone with a GS should go and try it. 800, 1200 , whatever. I'm not trying to kiss up but I really think he was crazy and that crossing is impossible on a bike that size.(without help) I would probably end up in the water with my 250 lb. KTM 450 EXC.

roadscholar Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I couldn't believe he was gonna try it. My mission was to get to the other side as quick as possible and snap off a few, you know, just in case. I think he was just having an "adventure" moment or maybe an adrenaline spike from the play-race we'd just had down the mountain. Link to comment
lvnvbiker Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It is truly amazing how much extra strength you get when the adrenalin kicks in as you picture the huge rock dent in a pretty much pristine BMW fuel tank, let alone the extra kick when you suddenly remember that your leg is under there also.

Huzband Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 And I'd do it again, now that I know which line NOT to take. Shoulda gone a little upstream. Borrow the 800 Bill? Link to comment
Paul_Burkett Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I would have taken the line that goes across the bridge. Link to comment
roadscholar Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 And I'd do it again, now that I know which line NOT to take. Shoulda gone a little upstream. Borrow the 800 Bill? Would you settle for a pitiful, old, worn out, and dilapidated KLR? Link to comment
