Title: ...got time?... Post by Serowbot on 03/11/13 at 10:42:51 I do... :-?... Those motorcycle clocks are pricey... So, I bought a $5 watch from E-bay and zip tied it to the bars.. Voila'!... PS...( if you look closely,.. you'll notice I somehow managed to use 3 slightly different zip ties, all at once)... (I couldn't have done that if I had tried)... ;D... http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt82/serowbot/time001_zps9a8082be.jpg http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt82/serowbot/time004_zps5c8711e0.jpg |

Title: Re: ...got time?... Post by ALfromN.H. on 03/12/13 at 04:08:40 I went with one of these. It's a timex carabiner watch. I clip it to my mirror stem and it's easy enough to remove if you want to take it off the bike http://www.watchlime.com/images/Timex/73751.jpg |

Title: Re: ...got time?... Post by ToesNose on 03/12/13 at 04:30:19 I'm with you Serowbot :D I've had this watch since the mid 90's and always loved it, but once I had a cell phone in my pocket all the time I kinda stopped wearing watches. I just used a small chunk of wood to make it fit the bars. http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy206/bcrx2/IMG_20130113_103643.jpg |

Title: Re: ...got time?... Post by JRLeathercraft on 03/12/13 at 18:13:33 If you give me the dimensions, I could make a leather strap with a buckle vs. the wire ties. I like the innovation though! |

Title: Re: ...got time?... Post by Serowbot on 03/12/13 at 22:46:22 DJ... I didn't I'd use one, 'till I got one as a gift... Turns out, I look at it all the time... Especially, when I have to meet up with others... Gyro,.. What?... no squinting?... I don't think I can tell time without squinting, anymore... It's been too long... .. (the good thing,.. is... you eat lunch off it)... ;D... ;D... |

It depends on your personality type. In a previous life, I was a consultant, and one of the qualifications I had to develop was Myers-Briggs Personality Typing. I was a certificated MB person. It turns out some folks hate anything having to do with a schedule, and some folks are just the opposite. -- The folks that are the opposite feel uncomfortable without a sense of time around. ---- Not knowing how much time they have spent on something or how much time they have left for something adds angst. ---- They feel more pleasant knowing how things are going schedule-wise. ---- They will often set up schedules, even if just informally, to give them a feeling of being on track and not having to worry about getting to the next "event" in a timely manner. ---- These folks will even put time in their schedule for unscheduled time. Planned spontenaity. ---- Some of these folks actually enjoy setting up a detailed schedule and then tracking their progress throughout the day. ---- They can function just fine without any time indications, but they prefer to have a watch, or a wall clock, and/or any schedule of some sort handy, even if the schedule is nothing more formal than, "Let's see,.. it's about noon,.. tell ya what, I'll go mow the lawn, I'll go for a short ride, and then we'll go out for dinner around 5." -- The folks who care nothing about time feel restricted by schedules, and don't want to be bothered with how much time they have left. They don't sense any angst about anything until, uh-oh, they're late for an event, or they didn't get that payment in on time. These two groups of folks (and their percentages are about evenly split out there in humankind) drive each other crazy if they don't understand each other. If they do understand each other, they can work really well as a team, relying on each others' skills, strengths, and natural preferences. There! Now you've had you management consulting lesson for today! |

Well it's not really a fascination, but sometimes a requirement. I'm a stay at home Dad and lets say the boy is at pre-school and the weather is awsome so I go out for a leisurely ride, I still have to pick him up at noon otherwise they ship him off to Siberia never to be seen again LOL. ;) @Gyrobob- is that from the Flavor Flave motorcycle accesory line? ;D |

I discovered a little something along those lines painfully. I have a tach, spring mounted to the dash. No holes drilled. Wire bracket mounted under a screw in the defrost vent slot, holding the tach pressed firmly onto the dash,, after a few months the guts of it fell out of its gimbals. Took about 4 hours to take it apart & put it back together & not accidentally mangle a hair sized spring. Couldnt lay it down or pick it up w/o studying exactly what would touch what..But its padded up & the mount spring is softened up & its working..:) |
