Default Re: Speedometer Question

It was the federal law back then. They felt that when the speedo read higher numbers, [120 mph, etc], that the driver would be more prone to try and peg it, and/or drive faster. Go figure!!!!

This included motorcycles. Heck, I had a Kawasaki that did 85 mph in second gear !!
