Heh..
Ticket (on Vincent) SF-Oakland Bay Bridge, way-back.
Cop eyes the big (~7" dia.) speedo, sees "150" ... asks "is that in (KPH) ??"
Moi tryin-fer-leniency: "Er no Sir, thats MPH." Don't recall his reply, but he wrote me up light..
He claimed to have been tryin to catch-up (on his antediluvian-Harley du jour) for some time; hell I was just idling along at ~65,
no traffic-threading and like that. aka "No Sir, wasn't trying to elude; didn't see you at all.. "
[Did not add any inner-juvenile] like, "If I'd meant to elude ... ...
['Course, re this thread: that '150' was Actual ~top-speed. But.. on the Black Lightning model.]
== see Rollie Free's record which lasted decades. Still, most L.s likely came only with a tach + other customer specs.
Guy I bought the Acura Plutocrat from had a new KZ-11? 13? whatever for 2004, in his garage.
Scary is: the fact that NOW any 16 yo +/- could.. walk in and buy a factory-200 mph Beast;
I no answers to that conundrum, aside from Parent-->child Prohibition-via-whatever ƒeare-generator works.
