Flooded Guzzis in Merkania:

Looks like not a lot of fun.
Go large on Solvol, I see the value of it's shares increasing.

now that's a bit on the wet side. I feel sorry for people whose pride and
joy got ruined, though. some of them with fancy trucks and trailers can
presumably afford it.

Would the bikes be write-offs? I would imagine the machinery didn't do
too badly, but presumably the electr[on]ics would have been FUBAR and
expensive to replace.

What I should have said was "would the bikes be beyond economic repair" - I
wasn't actually thinking of insurance when I wrote that first sentence
admittedly rather clumsily.

None of the bikes I've owned have ever been submerged so I can't speak from
experience, but I'd be surprised if the electronics on modern machines
would survive it unless they're designed to (e.g. sealed gizmo boxes etc).
Normal electrics are a different matter and would just need drying out,
presumably.

I don't propose to test this hypothesis :-)
