what time is it according to your bike?

I dont know about other people, but i have never had the clocks on my bikes show the right time and have never worked out to change them.

the amount of times i think i am late and need to know the time, and then look at the dash and find that it should either be lunch time or bedtime and realise i still havent done that task.

any one else find this?


sv650: 11:00am when it is actually 5pm
cbr600rr: 12:01 when it actually is (duno but i bet its wrong)

all my clocks show GMT all the time, cant be faffed to change twice a year.
Since we never change the clocks at work either it doesn't present a problem

Leave it there really!


I just hope I've left in time because knowing what the time really is never seems to help. I ride at the best speed I can for the conditions - no clocks means I can't be sucked into rushing 'cos I'm late.

CBA to set mine right either - the KTM is an hour or so behind, and I think the others were only in touch with reality because the batteries never got unplugged. Doubly weird, as I don't trust any clock to stay correct under my guidance.

Mine's correct, the laddie did it for me.

Time to ride. That's the only purpose my clock could have.

Clock? Got one that tells me how fast I'm going and another that gives me RPM. Is my SK1 missing something?

I do have a thing on my wrist called a watch.

To be fair, never wear my watch when riding (as well as never keeping my wallet in my left pocket, and my phone in the right)...in case of an off.

Pretty good experiment actually, doesn't seem to be many people that change it. Mine's on GMT all the time as well, and is 5 mins slow

I always change the time on my car, van and bikes, pee's me off seeing the wrong time.
Anyway, not exactly hard is it???
