Keep in mind that most of our bikes show a few MPH faster than what we are actually doing
That's sounds like a very suspicious claim.
What he meant was that our speedometers typicaly read high, so if the guy was reading 60mph on his speedo, he was probably doing closer to 55mph.

So, that brings up the question....why?!

you'd be surprised...most speedos are 'optimistic'. AFAIK, it has something to do with safety/liability....

wataburger... fast food

Maybe they were looking for bigger tickets to write. Keep in mind that most of our bikes show a few MPH faster than what we are actually doing, so your speed could only be a few MPHs over the limit there. Most LEO say they don't bother with speeders that are only 7 to 10 MPH over unless it's wreckless. Ohio state boys (flying tire salesmen, local OH guys will get a kick out of that) set up the one radar guy with three or four cars ready to chase all the time around here.
I always notice that it seems I am going slower on my bike when on the highway than when in my truck. I have stock gearing and stock size tires, yet 70-75 on my bike only seems to keep up with cars (speed limit 65) while 63 or so in my truck has no problem maintaining distance with the other vehicles. I have an F2 and the speedo is connected at the front wheel, so there is little room for gearing or sprocket change error.
