Hi guys,
I haven't added it to my scooter yet but I'm planning to.

It's in C but you can convert to F by soldering one of the bridges. There is a picture of how to do that on their customer pictures tab. It ships from Hong Kong so it takes a while but they don't charge for shipping somehow.

I have never been able to think or feel in F. I came to this country over two decades ago and I still think and feel in C. All my weather stations at home are in C.

Where are you from originally? As an immigrant from the UK myself, I find myself caught between both standards, weather strangely has become Deg F, although I was very deg C in the UK, Weight is lb's (or stones), and measurement of length very metric, microns, millimeters etc!
But then the UK has always been very mixed over the standards!

Originally from Hong Kong.

Because I trained as a runner in the U.S. and learnt to drive in the U.S., I think in terms of miles for long distances but for short distances or measurements, it's all metres, mm or cm and never inches or feet. Odd isn't it?

The LCD readout is not intended for outdoor use. Be carefull where you mount it.

Lokky always crabs about Fahrenheit. And any unit of measurement that isn't metric. And 12-hour time. XD

Odd ain't the word for it...
As a Land surveyor I've always measured in feet, tenths and hundredths of a foot.....
In the old days, a 'perch' or rod was 16.5 feet A Gunther's chain is sixty six feet, seven inches....... (Hmmmm...... isn't that 20 meters?)
Though I could NEVER grasp metric!!

the metric system for distance is pansy BS. if i'm going 100 of something, i want it to be legitimately fast. the metric(type) system for temperature is also BS. When it is hot, the temp should be in triple digits, not at 38C. the metric system just isn't scaled for awesome, and that's why the US doesn't use it.

Ha ha. I can't remember if Celsius is considered metric. Kelvin is the S.I unit for temperature, not Celsius.

I looked at a digital clock about this size over the weekend. I ended up deciding that it would look too big with the little handlebar cover. Before you buy this, you may want to cut out a piece of cardboard or something and figure out where it would fit. The price certainly makes it appealing!

I think it's a rectal thermometer, you might have to install it in your tail...pipe
