I just watched that video. Sure don't think I'd want to do that to my Tiger. I might choose to just camp out there until things dried up a bit.
Since I travel solo, I have to stay safe and keep my vehicle in one piece. I've used up all of my risk points by being alone. Nobody along to take videos or to pull me out.
BTW, re the 2WD/4WD issue: very few of my Tiger miles are in 4WD. My former RV had hubs which had to be locked, so it probably did a higher percentage in 4WD. The Tiger has buttons on the dash, so I can just shift on the fly and do a few tricky feet in 4WD and then switch back to 2WD.
Also, my former RV had DRW and the Tiger is SRW. DRW was better in the desert sand, SRW is better overall for the type of driving I do.
