International Distance Converter Missing on Gen III

Well, I assume you're talking about beer.

The geek in me forces this response: Beer, tap water, sea water, blood, and molten steel can each be measured in a pint, and each pint would weigh a different amount.

Kilometres and kilometers are the same, right?

Seriously, do you pronounce it "KILL-oh-mee-ters" or "kill-OMM-it-ters"?

Talking about an aqueous solution with a density of close to 1.0 kg per litre @ 20C.

We should go.back to Cubits. All this Imperial math is ridiculous; although, not as ridiculous as 12 random inches in a foot, 3 random feet in a yard, and 5280 random feet in a mile. Metric is easier, but our standard measurement system is what I know. Lol. We've been going metric since I was in the 2nd grade, and we're still not there yet. Proof that Americans are stubborn!

I just realized that my GenII doesn't have the hand-dandy converter built in. It only shows km/h. I have owned the bike for 4 years, done 2 trips into the USA and I never noticed....

...or you could just say "F" it and not ride in Canada...

You Yanks are so bad at geography I be surprised if you could even find Canada.

I just spent 4 days riding all over BC and Alberta, love riding up there! Google maps did me really really wrong and I explored even more than I was planning on when a detour through Roderick Haig-Brown Park turned out not to be a good way to get to Jasper. Also rode to Anglemont until the pavement ended... Anyway I do like the handy conversion of figuring out distances by glancing at the speedo.

No we use the decimal system for counting. as opposed to Binary, Octal or hex
