Brought this home tonight...

[Rameses]

Today I learned that riding in the snow isn't nearly as much fun as I'd thought it would be.

The forward movement to noise made ratio is way too low. Maybe it's just because it's a really granular, icy snow. I don't know.

No shit!   I've been learning Aussie speak from our forum friends here, and using it on rednecks in AL. It makes for some funny conversations.

How much snow you get?

[Rameses]

How much snow you get?

Not much. Maybe two inches.

But with some freezing rain mixed in, there's an ice shell over the top of it.

That's going to be a mess to drive in. 

I tried riding my DR350 in Flagstaff a few times.   I don't recall having much fun.

I would've failed at "fuel bowser".  

Fuel pump?

Lol!


Afternoon! 👍🏻

Gas pump is what you'd hear most often in the US. People would know what you were talking about if you said fuel pump though.

Any idea how the term fuel bowser came to be? Is bowser a term that's used over there for other types of pumps as well?

[Howie]

A bowser is a tanker.

A bowser is a tanker.

Howie is correct!

Bowser is also Aussie slang for a fuel pump at a petrol station.

 From the Net:
1930-35; said to be after S.F. Bowser and Co., a Sydney manufacturer of gasoline and oil storage systems

[Rameses]

Lol, how's your health insurance?

Don't watch that if you aren't ready for some serious cringes.

6:12 and 9:17 are my favorites, I think.

Oh, shit. I hadn't watched it with sound because I was sitting in a cafe drinking a coffee.

With sound, 1:45 might be my new favorite.
