So who all rides motorcycles?????
- Thread starter RIDDLE
- Start date
Yes, stable, but with vibration, always noticeable and proportional to speed. I might need the spoked wheels trued or rebalanced.
It was the cable-driven analog speedo where I got the number. I don't have a phone app to tell instant speed, nor can I look at the phone while riding.
Anybody want to ride tomorrow? I have to be at Avalon off 400 at 10am to test drive a new Tesla Model 3 Performance model, but I am free after that and will already be on one of the bikes...
I'll be riding around Marietta with another new motorcycle owner from my church, right after church on Sunday.
We'll probably head out of Downtown Marietta and do a loop around Kennesaw Mountain Nat'l Park,
then head up Due West Rd. to some park on the shores of Lake Altoona, go into an industrial park off old Hwy 41 or Hwy 293 and do some practice with U-turns and tight 90-degree slow speed turns in the empty industrial park roads and businesses' driveways. Maybe come back on Hwy 41 to get him some practice dealing with heavy traffic and putting up with shifting only through the first 3 gears before coming to a stop at the next traffic light.

Think I’m gonna run Cleveland to Blairsville and back down thru Suches / Dahlonega home tomorrow. Gotta check on a few cows at the farm in Blairsville so it might as well be on the scoot.
Today I did 50 miles of riding, and twice I passed by (2 different) fixed radar speed-warning signs that show you your speed as you approach them. One said I was going 2 mph slower than my speedometer indicated,
and anohter one (on a bigger, faster road) said 4 MPH slower than what my bike showed.
So, yeah, my indicated "90" might have only been 83 or so.
I’ve heard many give anecdotes that the Speedo on bikes are commonly inaccurate. even upwards of 10-15%. That’s a big claim when talking about the entire range brands, modes, and class.
