Default How NOT to float ATV's

Well we had a family get together here at my house yesterday, and Ive got a shallow pond out front of the house.. its a lil over waist deep in the middle. Well my lil brother in law, and his cousin, and one of their buddies was over. They asked me if they could take 2 of my ATV's thru the pond. I agreed, with the exception that THEY would have to do the wrenching on them to dry out the belt housings since neither of these two 4 wheelers has a snorkel. Heres some pics and video that I thought would be fun to share with everyone.












After the fun, they boys pulled the belt housing covers off, and completely dried them out.. I think Im gonna put snorkels on both of these ATV's soon so I dont have to worry about this anymore..





ps- i might or might not have had about 1/2 a bottle of crown ingested at the time I decided to "attempt" to operate the video camera.. lmao
