Close call - good luck!

'Pootling' is hardly dangerous.
It's very unusual to have your speedo reading under the actual speed, unless your bike's been geared up or has a different profile rear tyre or summat...
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

110 in second?
Mine does 115 indicated in first!!!!
At last that's what it looks to be if you do the mental arithmetic. Being a mph speedo and all.
Mine does just under 180 km/hr in second, at the redline.

Speedo is off the front wheel. Front tyre is getting pretty shagged.

actually I think you're right... (shows you how often I redline the thing)...
I take it back - just stay below 112 (bloody speed demon)

Then it would be reading high - unless it's a 70 profile when it should be a 60, or the spring in the speedo is tired.

Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Well the moral of the story is slow down...
Pay the fine and get out onto the race track and speed there.
Now you have to behave yourself on the roads for two years.
It was good of the police officer to be so helpful to check what your speedo is really reading.

112 is speeding? I really don't think riffer needs a lecture particularly, nor do I think that he was trying to break land speed records. I get passed on the motorway and open road by most traffic with a 110 indicated on the R6 - considerably quicker if it happens to be Madboy.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
gee wizzz
No he is a dire villan --a criminal to be locked in the stocks.
112km/h in a 100k zone -My gosh he could have killed an innocent and with all that extra speed.
No there is nothing for it --his bike must be stripped-all lights and indicators removed and a number like-48 fitted to the front of the bike -to indicate his villany
To cap it off he must only ride his bike on closed roads such as a road in feilding and taupo
WE MUST GET THESE LAWBREAKERS OFF THE ROAD POST HASTE
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
Rrrriiiiinngggg...BANG!
my bike does 180kph in first. Off a cliff.
First time i went to auckland, I followed a cop car on the way back along the motorway at 140kph. Was a line of about six of us!
The real mystery is how come that fat bastard Hurley has never lost any weight.
Kiwi back at home!
They always tell me to slow down or too fast never the actual speed I am doing(testing 100), mind you they are always in 50k zones
Forum whore
Bummer, but your still hanging in there with 95. I got that a good few years ago. I ended up driving like a nana and havent stopped yet.
Sounds like the cop was a very reasonable guy.

Bugger Riffer. 40 points for 112kph?? Surely it's only 10 or maybe 20. At 55 now you should be well short of licence loss. Or have you got some more points 'in the pipeline' so to speak. I understood that they do not record the points against you until fine is paid then its backdated to time of offence. Then with hindsight they would see you have achieved the magic goal of 100 and honour you with a personal visit by an Officer with a letter from the Queen, or something not as pleasant. I went 14 mths on 90 points. You really start to shit yourself the closer you get to clearing some points. Sort of expect to get slammed with 10 points a day too soon. That's the injustice of demerits. Do 111kph on Monday and it lose your licence, but if some old points drop off on Tuesday and you get caught doing 111 ist's Ok that day.
I reckon we should be able to get overdrafts as well above the 100 limit. Something like, you're in excess mate, donate $100 to your favourite charity to cover the excess! Anything but take away our licence

I checked my RF speedo against a GPS after it became quite obvious that it was not reading correctly. My speedo is pretty much 10% optimistic across the 50-100km/h range. That is, it reads 110 when I'm really doing 100.
I'm quite surprised that your speedo reads slow as that is fairly uncommon in my experience. Do you run a non-standard profile on the front tyre (RF speedo is a front-wheel-drive one)?
