    My 125m Floated away!

    So i went up to the cottage this weekend to do some riding on my trikes, and trucks, My bigred and my little 125 and bigred were burried in mud above the seat many times, so they were covered in mud. A few hours before i headed home, i parked the 125, and the 250 down by the lake to wash all the mud off etc. Parking brake on both, on a hill. Anyways, i go into the cottage to get cloths, soap and the hose ( have to keep in inside or it'll freeze ) I walk back out, and what do i see, my 125 30 feet out in the water floating away. IM LIKE OMG WTF DO I DO, the boat was put to storage, my kiyaks, canoe, and paddleboat were all stored away for the winter too. Without any other options, i run into the water with my winterboots, huge coat, hat, etc on, It was so damn cold, chunks of ice floating around, i thought i was going to freeze to death. Soon enough i got to the 125, in 10feet of water, and swam back with it. Now thats dedication! It was too sudden and i was too scared to go in and get my camera, but i wish i did. I get it back up, and the parking brake was still on... buuuut the cable SNAPPED. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN!.. The bike started up without any problems though. Thankyou ballooon tires! Just thought id share my little adventure
