How do you check the time.... riding?

Looking at my watch is not an option under my gloves and jacket.... not to mention a little risky. Years ago, they had self-stick digital clocks about an inch in diameter I'd just stick on the tach or handlebar somewhere. My classic 1986 VFR does not have a clock. Any of you riders mount a clock somewhere? Got a picture? Was thinking about a cheap watch, cut off the band, attach velcro and go.

 

My suggestion is to get a cheap waterproof digital watch with a large display and velcro 'er on.
Did that for my snowmobile and it works excellent!

 

I can tell what time it is by the angle of the sun.

 

You buy a 5th or 6th gen. and it's right there on the dash display!

 

who needs to know what time it is while on a motorcycle?

 

I like to watch time go backwards when I hit "ludicrous speed"!!!:tongue:

 

So, that's where that plaid paint scheme came from!:vader:

My GPS has a fairly accurate clock on it.

 

On my former and clockless Kawi, I took an old timex triathalon watch and attached it to the bar with a chunk of elastic band. Not the prettiest girl at the dance, but weatherproof and fully functional.

 

On my Katana I used a cheap analog watch and filed off the watch band tabs. I used double sided tape to attach it. I thought the analog would be easier to read than digital. After many years of use the watch never came loose or was damaged by the weather. Think "TIMEX'.

 

Or a 4th gen :wink:

 

Yeah, but...

Does it go backwards above 10,000 RPM in 6th gear?

 

"May the SCHWARTZ be with you"

 

"I'm a MOG,half-man,half dog....I'm my own best friend"

 

Funny, she doesn't look Druish!

 

does anyone know how to set the clock on a 6th generation? mine didnt come with owners manual and i cant figure out how to set the clock

 

Dang I always forget how to do that and have to look it up 3 times a year(2 time canges and i take the ba tout for winter.)
forget if it is push and hold till it flashes or push and hold both...
