Don't feel alone Aussie...you have a lot of company...lol.I find your fascination with retaining the snorkel, even after removing the baffle plate, to be rather - well, unfathomable really. :d

Hard to know your audience Jim. Some refer to what you call a high pressure hose as a garden hose. I own a high pressure hose and it is connected to a 7 hp engine and pump. Further to say a bike incurs more water incursion when riding in a rain storm at 80 mph versus localized application of a garden hose is absurd. It isn't about net volume of water assault but rather focus of water or volumetric flowrate per saturated surface area. Your comparison isn't even close. A garden hose is way more invasive. All depends on how you direct the hose of course. Freedom of choice and stick with it.You have to read between the lines sometimes, Speed3Chris:

Aussie,:huh:
The application of an unnecessarily complicated description of a simple physical process in order to both appear to know what you are talking about and to bewilder your audience is a tactic you seem to commonly resort to Speed3Chris. Your otherwise valuable contributions do however become tainted by its use.
We Aussies have a name for a person that resorts to the use of big words and complicated descriptions of basic processes in order to appear more knowledgeable than the "lowly commoners" that surround them, we call them stuffed shirts and, on occasions, sadly, you certainly do come across as just such a person. I, for one, wish it were not so.
With all due respect your argument that the soft spray from a garden hose is more detrimental to a bike than being ridden at speed in a rain storm is patently ridiculous no matter how how much you try to complicate or confuse the argument.
Now, I really would like to know what process you use to wash your bike? Just a basic description in layman's terms would suffice.
Where we disagree is you don't understand the language appropriate to make the distinction. This makes you feel bad and resort to insults...your self image problem really.
We are different people from different backgrounds is all. Even your comment earlier about Aussies having a name for a guy like me is laughable. You are insulting your fine fellow Aussies. Your perspective is through your lens Aussie and not all Aussies. I believe your comments are simplistic and you believe I add needlessly complexity to make my argument.Normally this wouldn't bother me but I do respect your opinion and value your input so this one flaw really gets up my nose, it just devalues all of the good work you've done and saddens me.
.. we call them stuffed shirts ...
We call them blowhards. They are always right, which you would understand if you would just open your mind and listen.
