Cops in one town I pass thru everyday are major @$$ holes, so even if I think I'm doing 70, then I'm only going 5 over so they leave me alone but I still think I'm making time RJ- my girl does that in her car only 10 minutes fast, everytime I get in her car it gets me for a second and I think I'm gonna be REALLY late for whatever I'm going to   Logged     I was born An AR in my hands Behind the gun Ill make my final stand And thats why they call me Bad Company   The administrator has disabled public write access. #510337 Thom M (User) When the going gets weird, the RoadStar gets going Gold Boarder Posts: 993 Re:An interesting article on speedometer accuracy 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   texasscott1 wrote: The SpeedoHealer is the way to go and it's very easy to install.I'll be ordering mine in about two weeks I check my speedo against those roadside signs that tell you how fast you're going.

I set them according to the directions on their website for an 11% correction, and darned if I don't go past local radar speed reading signs, and they're dead on!   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #510356 PhatRJ (User) Smack 'em Yack 'em Expert Boarder Posts: 544 Re:An interesting article on speedometer accuracy 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Roger7886 wrote: RJ- my girl does that in her car only 10 minutes fast, everytime I get in her car it gets me for a second and I think I'm gonna be REALLY late for whatever I'm going to I know how you feel. Hers is set at 18 minutes fast. Why 18? When its an oddball time like 5:27 I have no idea what time it really is on the fly. And doing math that requires carrying the 1 is not my idea of fun while driving.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #510399 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 7882 Re:An interesting article on speedometer accuracy 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   About the car clock and women, Hang on, this is classic......

Every time my speedo reads 6 mph over what the sign says. If we did an average based on the post on the topic this afternoon, we'd end up running 80 at 80. Your 6 over cinches the deal   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/06/29 18:14 By SKWEARpeg.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #510687 02Yamaha (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 127 Re:An interesting article on speedometer accuracy 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   My 02 Roadie, completely stock, runs 5 mph slow. When I was riding with my brother who uses his GPS for speed monitoring he would keep creeping up on my back tire while we were on the highway. At a gas stop he said, QUIT RIDING SO SLOW!!!!!!!!!!! I told him listen, I was riding the speed limit, and he said NO YOU ARE NOT, YOU ARE 5 MPH TOO SLOW. I then started riding at 65 when the speed limit was 60 and he stayed behind me and lo and behold at the next gas stop he said, now you are riding at the speed limit. Since then I now ride five miles per hour over the posted limit and have never had a problem and now keep up with traffic and not get passed so much.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
