    Can anyone in WGTN lend me a 150 on Sunday morning?

    Im booked in to sit my Full Licence test on Sunday BUT my bike has decided to throw a fit and my speedo has stopped working. Im trying my best to get it sorted by Sunday but im not to sure I will be able to! If anyone has a 150 that I could borrow on Sunday morning should I not be able to fix my bike to sit my test I would be more than grateful!

    You are a legend. Im feeling a little more confident that I may be able to get the speedo working again. Silly little bike!

    Yeah. Pity its telling you absolute crap, i.e. 60km/h when you're only doing about 52km/h, but yeah, it's cool. It's gonna be sad having a normal dial on the next bike.

    Ah thats cool when mine reads 50 its actually doing around the 60 mark... I followed Stew home on Weds night as my lights werent working. He was sitting on 50k's on his bike and my speedo was reading 39k's. Though my bike is a silly little bike....

    You wouldn't think it would be that hard for bike manufacturers to make a speedo that actually works

    bieks are more delicate than cars and car ones dont work either, the mechanical way its done is "flawed" - only solution is probably gps or lasers i.e. measuring how fast the car is moving rather than how fast the wheels are turning.
