T'was a little salute to Klavdy... he said that's the way real Aussies drink it.     :good:   

Harvy

NO!..... real Aussies don't drink that rubbish!

lol

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

I can believe that... it was still better than the other crap the beer guy lugged up there.     :pardon:

Honestly - I don't think you could buy Fosters in Australia if you tried - not that you would want to try.  Also - there is no such thing as Coors Light over there either...weird place...

Harvy

Well ya see Marsh, dishwater is used for washin dishes, not drinkin!

hahahaha

I personally like a beer with a bit of body to it. Been a Tooheys OLD drinker for a few years now.
And that my friends is some statement, considering I'm originally from Victoria, and no Victorian would have been caught dead drinking a NSW brew back when I was a lad.

Cheers

Yeah!  And that parochialism extends also to what footy team you barrack for and even what game is called "footy".  As for the brand of beer ...... Fosters, the brewer of most 'Aussie' beers, is now owned by a furrin mob.

I would have thought a Coopers Stout would have been right up your alley?
Sold it!

Always interesting to see the different beers across the globe, quite lucky where I am as they make some decent ones and they sell it at all kinds of events, although...

Life behind bars - is actually quite thrilling

My first Kookaloo was about 800m down the road from the dealers yard on the motorway onramp on the test ride... Before I found this forum and before I'd even bought the bike, having just got off my very tired 83 VF750 Sabre, my initial translation of it was "S**t I'm about to fall off the back!!!"


But Kookaloo works pretty damn good...  :yahoo:

I was used to being able to go WOT in 1st and 2nd without sliding back in the seat... wow.. Only if you're hanging on and braced now!
