Did you know the leathers all MotoGP riders, and probably many other racers wear are made of kangaroo hide.

Better Cookaroo?

Thinner for a given amount of resistance to pavement.

You can also get gloves made from kangaroo leather, and they're lovely.  At least, the set of Held gloves that I use have bouncy rat leather on the palms, and it's nice.

Is it true that koala bears can fall out of tree's and attack you :)..

its the drop bears you have to worry about, you should always take a semi nekid blond Scandinavian female backpacker with you as bait and a bottle of bundy rum to sterilise the wounds from the inside out

The only thing you haven't counted on is that this chick is used to fighting off polarbears. That is, if shes from Norway though! Those other Scandinavian countrys like to think of them self as real vikings, but really isen't. Canada and other polar like countrys have the same "challanges"... In winter we drink and fight.. Got to do something, right?  Winter dosent allow us to drive our FJs either... hehe...

So were aussies have kangaroos, we have polarbears... Both give you the same thing... trouble... :good2:

Cheers
