AAAAHHHHH just the thought.
Though a full face helmet would solve that.

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

tb2....
mate thanks
always have got circumference and diameter mixed up

you are right though
its hard enuff reading a tach at hi speed, let alone a speedo at the
same time

I had a mate who had one of those holographic visor inserts come loose inside his helmet at a silly speed...it was quite funny watching him trying to get the helmet off afterwards with this thing squished against his nose and forehead :lol:

I saw 270 on the Beemer, before running out of track. The needles were steady at that speed.

:twisted: Got to 255kph (indicated) on my 7r at the secret test track, and starting to run out of road, but that was before she had a good tune so hopefully i'd get a bit more out of her now.

Recently had to chase a couple of our members who had 'sticky throttles'.

As the trusty ZZR charged to the rescue I noticed NIL needle shake up to about 240, had saved the day by then so slowed down.

Your speedo (on the real bike) should read OK to any speed you or I are likely to do.

This is NOT to be read by my missus !!!
