Sometimes you just can't pass on a challenge, like radar speed limit signs in stupid locations.

Coming home from work today, I noticed that one of these signs had been placed just a short distance down the road from a round-about exit. It was so close, that I wondered how hard you would have to try to have it flash your speed above the posted speed limit.

I know, it's squidish of me, but I did it in the name of science, or something... I did three passes on it; WOT in first gear once I could point my bike straight, and never got fast enough that I had to shift (maybe around 10-12k before passing the sign).

So what's the fastest it clocked me at, you ask? 37 mph.

 

LOL... That's funny.

Little things like that challenge me, too.
BTW, did you know that when you get to a certain mph, those signs won't even tell you your speed anymore? They just go into some weird mode where they flash these little lines on the screen real fast.

Obviously not from personal experience... I think maybe I heard that on tv or something.

 

In all honesty, I was definitely doing faster than 37 mph (as you may have figured from the rpm I was hitting). Just goes to show that the sign didn't have enough room to get a good fix on me.

 

I like the ones that tell me to "SLOW DOWN!"
