Default speedo go by-by!

This is some proof for Roadrunner71.
From my buddy in Oregon (also a shadow owner, sent it to me today)
The speedo top is long gone... Still some room left to go on the tach though.
(He was on a slight hill as well) He was not racing at this time.

Yes you did miss something...
Long story short, I topped my speedo in the same way (on a hill) and could not proove it.
So here it is, sorry for it being late though...
Cool EH!

They are numbered by 5's and the last number on it is 125. I see that it has aftermarket gauge faces, being that they are white instead of black. I though we had already cleared this up since you had mentioned that your were going downhill at the time you were nailed doing 238 KPH/147 MPH. With all of the aero clading that was on my Huffy Vortex bicycle, I could probably hit 85+ MPH on it on a long downhill road.[sm=smiley36.gif] I miss that bicycle, it was the coolest looking bicycle I had ever seen.[sm=smiley19.gif] Oh well, now I have a Roadrunner and an SRT-4 to make up for it.[sm=smiley4.gif]
