Was a somewhat shallow puddle in some gravel. Not enough momentum and to much throttle and it sunk quik. Came out pretty easy, rocked it handle bar down to the ground each direction several times and the gravel filled back in. Bike rolled right on out.

I'd be concerned about the remaining service life of the chain & sprocket after feeding all that gravel through them!

they look fine. Got a spare chain and sprockets aren't expensive.
