are you a copper?

my speedo read 240ks... took it to 235ks on the road....

before anyone jumps up and down on a barrage of stupid, dangerous riding etc etc comments I would like to make very clear the following:

1. I was in Australia on an empty road completely void of oncoming traffic, police speed traps, police in general, people in general come to think of it other than my mates I was with...

2. You dont do it for very long either.... after 180ks the wind just wants to push your helmet off so it gets very uncomfy with it pushed back in your face pushing your sunnies in your eyes... oh and fuel consumption becomes a major issue too given the distance between garages...

3. I was the slowest of that group... the others were on 'busas and blackbirds...

240Km/h = 150 mph

Is that possible? What have you done extra to the bike?

Even if you allow the full 10% over read on the speedo that is 135 mph (216 Km/h).
