What have people in the UK done about this? I know you can buy the converter thing, am getting a bit confused by it, been riding round guessing my speed <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
its no big deal, just act normal and ride within your personal limits, if the law are around, just dont rev the nuts off so as no not attract attention. here's a rough guide: 20kmh - 13mph 40kmh - 25mph 60kmh - 37mph 80 - 50 100 - 62 120 - 75 140 - 87 160 - 100mph 180 - 112 mph over here in ireland we just changedour speed limits to kms last year, so the uk might follow in the comin years, i think its a european thing, its ****!! kilometers seem so windy, even 180kmh sounds slow to me ... even though its not!!
wow - I had just assumed that the UK would have led the way with the introduction of metric units! Certainly 2 of the commonwealth countries (canada and australia) have been metric for about 20+ years - I assumed the UK would have been first. And here I thought it was only the US that wouldn't conform...
That's us.... non-conformists to the end... <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_roll.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling LoL" /><!-- s:roll: -->
Yeah, and who wants to drink beer in 0.5 of a litre. bit gay if you ask me. How did your bike get through type approval with a metric speedo?? Best thing to do would be to go down your local wrecker and change the whole clock. You could just change the face but the odometer would still be recording Kms.
some of you must have been living in a hole to think uk were metric? they still have pounds! we have km/h in my country i think m/h sounds slower because its a lower number. its easy to get use to converting it when your riding just takes a while
UK just isn't high on my priority list to learn about. Most of europe was in km's, Canada is, and so is Australia so I just made an assumption.
easy way stay under 50kph in 30mph and under 100kph on 60mph and 110kph on 70mph thats what i will do but myn has stickers over the top but they are not easy to read but easy option stay alert for coppers lol i am lol my 125 does over 90mph so im use to looking for them <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
