Seeing as many of our members are spread across the globe, I am making it my resolution to use metric units in temperature,distance in all of my posts.

In that same vein of thought...
My resolution is to RIDE MORE miles on my R65 and kilometers on my Laverda!

The Temperature Converter link will come in handy for that!  Now we need a distance converter... [smiley=wink.gif]

Seems most of you are in North America, and most of us are use to roughly converting the distance/measurements from imperial to metric, as a lot of imported hardware and parts are still marked so, and my parents were broughtup on imperial so we have a mix of both.

BUT if your willing,  wont complain.

Gee and I just ran to the thermometer and converted 5-6 deg. C. to F. for my last post! :-?

I use this conversion sight quite alot - it has pages to convert anything into anything else:

This year I plan to ride my bikes (motorized  and pedal-powered) alot more than in 2006.
This year I plan to go camping more than just twice.
This year I plan to go to the BMW rally again, and hopefully see some folks that I know !

My new year's "rez" is to force myself to check my air pressure at least once a week!  (Yeah, I know, that's asking a lot!)  ::)

And my promise to my R65 is to make her go in a straight line loose handed, without the help of the rubber band attached to the front fork. :o
