Eye hand co-ordination

Like any form of showing off - hooning, etc. Always a risk.

Loong ago !.

When I was into motor-bikes the local club asked  me to join. 

You only have to stand-up while doing the " ton " . ( 140 kph ) I chickened out

Maybe they haven’t discovered floats.

Water is like concrete if you hit it at speed & it will hurt. Water skiers can attest to that. So just like bare foot skiers with appropriate skill and speed the wheels won't dig in. If you don't have both of those it will be a very expensive exercise.

It was very loong ago . ( I was a teenager ) 

Just a verbal acronym for 100. Mph .

Now we speak French , that ton  will be 60 kph .

Back to school for you, Spacey, you must have failed arithmetic! 100mph is 161kmh.

Metric

[spacesailor]

Yes, I did make a mistake !  Thank you " onetrack " . 100 mph is 161 kph.

I hadn't mastered the times tables,  then the metric system was thrown at us .

I don't think I will ever master this .

Has the metric bolts , ' have just one size fits all ' .

Unlike the American " course medium & fine thead " system ? .

There's a UNFF too. Metric can have any Pitch you specify. It's on the Tap/Die. Dia and pitch.  Nev

[facthunter]

Metric is UN American but it's used by the World's Scientists. Nev

IF you want Hand-eye coordination you first need to open your eyes. " I see" said the Blind man. Nev
