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

Terry
