funny isn't it how the different countries pronnounce the name
was filling up the bike at the service station last week when this guy with a full on American accent asked my 'hey man, is that an F-Zee-R1000'
LOL kind of spun me out as I've never actually heard it pronnounced that way. In Australia we pronnounce 'Z' as 'zed'. It sounds so different!

kind of trivial but interesting :cool
Interesting kinda goes out the window after dealing with it for YEARS. Makes it worse when people just want to hear the "accent". There is a plus side since alot of American women love Aussie accents, but damn why do all the ones up here that I wouldnt with a 3m cattle prod come up and ask and not the drop dead gorgeous brunette that was at the pub 3 weeks ago? :sad
But on the other hand, my supervisor hates the way I pronounce aluminium.
BTW it snowed here. Bike is on its stands in the garage and my truck finally has HEAT after being without since April.
