Just watched the "riding a motorcycle on water" episode.......... (Sun 05th Jan)   ;D  ;D

Have seen video footage of the Icelandic petrol-heads driving their powerful 4WD almost-vertical-hill climbers across water - amazing.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MjySBPFCvw

The American "Myth Busters" TV show did the water bike thing a few years ago too.

What i couldn't understand is Why wear race leathers,Why not a wet suit,I would have been lighter and warmer.
I can understand the reason for a crash helmet,But not the suit.

I was thinking along the same route.
The leathers do have good padding, in case he impacted the bike in a tumble, but swimming/keeping afloat can't have been easy as don't think he had any bouncy aids.
