Here's something I bet you didn't know...

[dcarver]

Did you know that if you roll fast enough in neutral, going backwards that the speedo will indicate + mph?

My personal record is 13 mph, backwards. Top that you Testtosterone endowed dudes and dudettes..

 

[jayshaw91]

I wonder if going in reverse will take off mileage a la the Ferris Bueller theory.

 

[tripletango]

Most bikes will show mph forard and astern.

 

[twowheelnut]

More importantly, does the odo reverse? :blink:

 

[Afast03nNJ]

My car also shows +MPH when I reverse. The odo also counts normal (positive) as well. Welcome to digital technology.

 

[Toecutter]

It's not about how fast you can go in reverse, rather how far. SS1K anyone?

My personal record is 13 mph, backwards. Top that you Testtosterone endowed dudes and dudettes..

Now wait a minute... Is that actual, GPS verified? or is your spedo still uncorrected?

I gotta know before I try an top that.

:derisive:

Now I know why I can't get a hold of you on the phone, Carver! You're out playing games!

I have noticed the same thing, as I have to back down the hill over the length of my driveway to park in the garage. Don't think I'll try to break that 13MPH record though.

Someone better alert Gary McCoy to stock up if you guys are going to be racing in reverse! I see the potential for a lot of boogered up body parts....

 

[jmarran]

I did come close to an oops last week when racing a thunderstorm home from work (it was close). I have to do a tight 180 at the top, which is also sloping down towards the garage. Normally, I'm pretty calm and it's no problem, but that evening I was a bit wired with the cracks of thunder coming and was feeling a "bit rushed". My heartrate went up about another 20BPM, but I kept it up.

Wouldn't that be an SS1K-R?

 

[In10city]

I believe this new competition should require frame sliders... :blink:
