So I went on a beer run and only ended up picking up one 6-pack for my wife (she specifically asked for Fuller's London Porter... great beer btw).
The issue with picking up just one 6-pack on a motorcycle using Givi case is that there's a lot of room for it to bounce around!!!
Got home.. pulled into the garage.. removed helmet and the smell hit me immediately! Opened the case and sure enough the pack turned sideways (I laid it down flat, but it turned 90 degrees) and there was lots of spillage!
Oddly, none of the bottles broke, but one of the bottles was only about 1/3 full. I think the cap snagged on one of the edges and let go just enough to let the precious nectar out :(
Lesson learned.. never buy less than three 6-packs!!
.. and now I'm off to therapy.
 
There was a thread about no one being able to smell your outgassing while riding.... that's probably better than having a brewery scent following you around.

Just sayin'
 
Poor bastard....I feel your pain. I too once had a similiar experience. I still have nightmares....
 
That's how I felt when a can of Mountain Dew broke open in the back of my car. Nooooooo....not a wasted can!! :(

And yes, I prefer Mtn Dew to beer. HERESY!!! :D
 
And the nice police man asks (

That reminds me of a time, a mate and I finished working afternoon shift and went to the local bottle-shop, grabbed a six-pack (in the car) and headed back home to relax. Got in an accident and 5 of the six bottles smashed. The police rocked up and subsequently did a breath-test on me, then did another one because he thought the first one was a dud. He wouldn't listen to me telling him that I hadn't had a drink yet.

Ended up, he sent me to hospital for a blood test as he still didn't believe I was completely sober...lol

:rockon:
 
If you were Australian you would have had a full carton of beer in there (it does fit ;)). Won't move around then :thumbup:

Dew does taste better than most beer!! Gotta love the original Mtn Dew!! Some of the new flavors :confused:.

Haha, no kidding. I like Code Red, but that white one is lame. It's like somewhat flat sprite. Blech! I kind of like Voltage, but it's not quite sweet enough for me. Looks like another flavor coming too, I'm afraid to try it though, as the last one was foul. lol Everyday at work, I have a Mtn Dew, courtesy of free drinks that the company provides! Mountain Dew and pop-tarts, the breakfast of champions. :D Mountain Dew > Beer of any kind. More heresy I'm sure. ;)
 
I was once in a car accident, where the car rolled! We had a full carton of beer in the car at the time...not one bottle broke!!! And every window in the car did!

We ended up sitting on the side of the road, waiting for assistance, and drinking the carton of beer before it got warm!

Cops were not impressed when they finally arrived at the scene!

Was about 17 at the time!
:eek:
