Valkyrie one tough machine

Coming back from Inzane Saturday through the Texas panhandle was doing about 80 on hwy 83 there had been a heavy rain storm earlier and the sun had broken through blue skies and feeling good. I should have known better this area doesn't get all that much rain and before I knew it there was standing water about 15 feet across on hwy 83 too late to brake and I plowed through this water at about 70 mph what a violent explosion water must have gone fifty feet high and the Valkyrie never even had a problem handling knifing through the water pulled over to see how much damage was done and nothing not a thing. The water at its deepest point was about 18 inches but at 70 mph that's pretty substantial. Water leaked out of my exhaust pipes for the next two gas stops but that's it. These Valkyries are pretty well put together.

What are you running for tires LTD? My avons have been in some deep water, but not that deep, and not at that speed. Glad it worked out for you.
