[QUOTE="daddysbike, post: 235077, member: 1691"] I don't do stupid things with a passenger, I just risk myself (occasionally) A couple weeks ago while riding 28 towards Deals gap where it is 4 lanes and straight (before the good part!) I was fiddeling with my new Zumo GPS and noticed the max speed read "110" I thought " I must have done that while passing a truck or something" then thought "it should read higher" so I looked front, back and noboday around so I tucked in and nailed until I started running out of straighaway. The FJR read 140mph and the GPS registered 133mph confirming a 5% error and giving a better max speed readout. Dumb I know and I'm not really into top speed but prefer acceleration/handling and brisk back road riding but I still think there will be a new max speed readout in the GPS someday. Steve [/QUOTE]
