Could have been worse:









But at least the water here was relatively clean!

btw. this is not me, but my friend Julie...

As others have said, get the water out of every nook and cranny as soon as possible - we emptied this bike out on the side of the trail, and got it running again with no problems... Julie then changed the oil when she got home (it was to colour of chocolate milkshake), and changed it four or five more times (including the oil filter) until the oil was clear again... then went on to ride the bike about 15,000 more miles with no problems!
