Right----and notice it's only the two countries that really count----- And the craziest darn thng is---- We reject the ass backward's Metric system--- Why? For the same reason the Limey's threw out the Witworth and then the British Standard system of measurement--- Because it ain't simple------ Imagine all the mechanic's in the whole US one day having to convert to nothing but metric----it happened--and the Snappy and the Mac, as well as the Cornwell guy's were nothing but happy---- God bless America--and the US system of measurement---- When I'm really going 100 mph---I want to know I'm doing 100 mph----- ALL-- world speed record's are set at MPH by the FIM---not in metric measurement's--- How come? Because--that's why--- The world has been competing for the fastest guys on earth--and it's measured in MPH--not KPH-- ( Bonneville salt flat's ) Why is that? The metric system is kind like a sweetheart wearing falsies--- you think your getting more than you really are-------:>) Later
