search for:
Ducati Monster seat height
look at the result at the top of the list...
I'm impressed...
big
What?
#1 Wikipedia
#2 and #3 DML
Yeah, but look at the description bit of that wikipedia return - it's grabbed the seat height information out of the page and displayed it in the search return - it works for wheelbase too.
Oh, OK.
Too bad I don't know the standard conversion for mm (and I'm too lazy too look it up).
Its 25.4mm to 1"
If you own a Ducati, learning the metric system is WELL worth your time.
Aww crap, now I have to go look it up again, then do some mathimacation. ;D
I actually sold the Duc a few months ago, but really enjoy you folks. I should be getting something Italian in the next few months (gotta get married first). Those Aprilia Shivers are looking pretty nice.

Even if you don't own a Duc, BASIC knowledge of the Metric system is a handy tool, especially if you intend to travel outside the U.S.
Speeds:
1 mile = 1.6 km
Therefore, roughly speaking, 10 mph = 16 kph. 5 mph = 8 kph.
For simplicity sake, 100 kph = 62 mph. 50 kph = 31 mph. For every 10 kph, add or subtract 6 mph.
Volumes:
1 liter = 1 quart and some change.
1 gallon = almost 3.8 liters
Most of the world sells their fuel by the liter.
If you cross the border to Canada and see prices like .96 or .97, remember that these prices are per liter, so at .96/liter you're paying 3.65/gallon.
Other handy notes:
1 kilogram = 2.2lbs.
1 lb = .45 kilograms
100 C = Boiling = 212 F at sea level.
37 C = Body temperature = 98.6 F
25 C = A nice day = 77 F
5 C = Cold drinking water = 40 F
0 C = Frozen = 32 C

Thank you Mr Science!
So what's the conversion between Newton Meters / Foot Pounds? ;D

Google has a converter built in to the search engine...
Type "convert 25mm to inches" and at the top of the results page is your answer... Kinda handy!
Does other units/measurements too...

Google "foot pounds in 1 newton meter" ;D
Kinda surprising.

My HUGE BRAIN and a 30 second search on google have told me that 1 nm = just less than .75 lb/ft -OR- 1 lb/ft = just over 4/3 nm
SO:
10 nm = 7.5-ish lb/ft
20 nm = 15-ish lb/ft
40 nm = 30-ish lb/ft, etc.
The actual lb/ft value is slightly less, but not enough to make any real difference.
Similarly:
3 lb/ft = a little more than 4 nm
15 lb/ft = a little more than 20 nm
30 lb/ft = a little more than 40 nm
Basically, take the torque value in lb/ft, divide it by 3, then multiply by 4 and subtract a little.
I hope you know I was just bustin' your chops.
I firmly believe in an Internet Education. Meaning I can (and have) teach myself all kinds of cool stuff with just a little bit of research online (from reputable sources).

Bears eat monkeys.
I figured as much. ;D
But if you're gonna doubt the powers of my HUGE BRAIN (and I'm not just being vain, I really do have a gargantuan melon) expect to get an appropriate answer.

A good friend of mine has a huge, odd-shaped melon. You can spot him and his brothers from a couple hundred yards away, simply from the size and shape of their melon.

Of course they do.
They're delicious.

here's a simple conversion my pops taught me while driving in Canada. To convert kph to mph, just multiple by 0.6.
For instance the speed limit in Canada was 100kph X 0.6 = 60mph.
fairly accurate for a quick conversion.

Guinea pigs are often slaughtered to make
guinea pig bacon. This is a tasty, yet somewhat more lean form of bacon. It's typically considered a far superior alternative to turkey bacon, which we all know is not really bacon so we should just call it turkey aberration, because that's all it is.

Definition of Bacon: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bacon
Definition of Turkey: Not a pig.
Therefore, turkey bacon is like saying chicken ribeye.

I don`t particularly like to eat monkey`s, but if that`s all that`s available I have to [evil]

I'd beleive that. Pan flutes keep most everything away ;D
