    Nice - but I wouldn't sweat it. Not many industry people take anon online forums seriously.

    If they do - I would strongly warn them against it!

    I linked the person to the thread, but I did point out they might have to wade through a load of tripe to find the gems..

    It's what happens on the majority of online forums.

    Facebook - or anywhere where the respondent has a name and contact address so issues can be verified - different story.

    I didn't see any reference in the video to the constant checking that your speedo reads <= 4 kph of the area speed limit.

    I had two officers in the office yesterday and we were discussing the fact that my speedo is out by 6% at 100kmh on my bike.. so 100kmh on my speedo is 94kmh.. So I have to, at this time of year, rely on my gps device, which is usually only 1-2kmh out, but even then, if the accuracy drops to say 10m or 20m, then the GPS can be WAY out too.

    The whole 4kmh thing is ridiculous because it is outside of the accuracy of most vehical's speed measurement devices..

    but anyway..

    I don't think they got to be "Best Hosted Forum" two years running plus have 3.5 million forums created, 22 million registered visitors and more than 15 million unique monthly vistors by being not credible.
