ever ridden anything than a tricycle in anger

what about:
Bauer (speedskaing champ who turned pro cyclist) Tyler (I-feel-no-pain)
Hamilton The entire 7-eleven and Motorola teams (that included our very
own Phil Anderson)
that movie was filmed during stages of the Coors classic apparently so
some of the riders shown were actual pros but none of the main
characters
You wanna see a great cycling movie? keep an eye out for 'Breaking away'
or the soon to hit our shores french animated movie (cant remember name
but beautiful if your into animation, or cycling)

the french film is the "triplets of belleville". I saw it last week and
it is fantastic. not heaps of cycling in it but the main rider is the
splitting image of fausto. It was down at my local video shop (in perth)
which was surprising. Dont know where you are flyingdutch but if i can
get it in perth, it should be available anywhere!

I thought the girlfriend, the one who got her gear off on the road
trip, was Rae Dawn Chong. Alexandra Paul, who was in Boobwatch, was
also in the film, but I can't remember her part.

I'm greek and I'm pissing myself at these jokes! C'mon gents, if we
can't make some fun of each other, how phuckn boring would our
lives be?!

As for greek cyclists... ME! I'd be classed as novice, but if money
was not an issue, I would train up to turn pro... at least for
Australia anyways!

Nah, you got em around the wrong way me thinks! Rae was Kev's girlfriend
(by the way her dad is cheech and "Chong"😉

AP was the young bro's girl who gets her gear off and went on to do
every sport-related movie in the 80's/90's

I am very intersted in a discussion here. To save possibly offending
anyone other then my own coutrymen, I will bring it to you from the
aussie perspective.

Aussies like to drink beer, swear and go to the beach. There are plenty
of other things we do, but these are proven activities that we as a
county do - it gives us an identity. Each and every country in the world
is pretty much "Known" for something right??

Now, call me a beer swilling swearing aussie, and I will say F@!@!KIN
OATH mate - I am !!!. Yet, these days, people who would do that can be
called Racist ?? Or offensive?? I don't understand how calling a Kettle
black could be offensive to a black kettle unless it has some serious
Identity issues. Or should I say White kettle ??

I am sick and tired of ppl crying RACIST when something is said about a
people as a whole that is proven to be the the statistical or cultural
norm. We should be proud of our foibles, or at least own up to them if
they just aren't that nice.

Now, relating to the Greek jokes above, I don't actually drink beer or
swear a lot - but I still would not take offense, as I KNOW that aussies
are like that in general. So if I should see such remarks passed my way,
I will not take them in the understading and spirit they are offered.

Doesn't that make sense??

I too like to drink beer, swear occasionally and love the beach

Questionable concept. Oh yeah like Australia is known for the Great Barrier
Reef and Uluru.

Not everyone fits in with these foibles (called stereotypes) and may not be
proud to be tarred with the same brush as John Howard's value-laden
majority.
