    Default How We Roll In Australia

    We had a great time doing a Fun-O-Meter test with a brand new 2014 Can-Am Spyder RSS borrowed from one of our local dealers. I hope you enjoy the video.

    Sorry, chatter at the beginning & end

    Film??? What's that?


    Speaking of wrong sides, backwards film, etc. . . . . I wonder if the Aussies have noticed the toilet water spinning the opposite way! I noticed that in the southern hemisphere lots of things are different. Seasons are backwards, you the movement of the sun across the northern horizon instead of the southern, etc. Things you know subconsciously are suddenly just backwards.

    One of the reasons travel is so much fun!
