Sort of a dumb thing to put in your bike ads...

I see similar comments quite often.  This from CraigsList...

OK, a '92 750 is too fast for you because you're used to a cruiser and you're 40 years old?  What kind of dumb sh!t is that to say?  Like, don't turn the throttle so much if it's going too fast.  I'm 49 and I'm not Mladin or Cooley, but there's no such thing as a bike too fast for me.  What does that mean?

I bet ya it's apiece of junk he just wants to get rid of it!  Too fast for him!

I watched that thinking; I hope a rabbit doesn't run out in front of him or he is dead meat.

RE 'Busa vid:  Wow, 100 MPH seems slow after 220+!  Actually, it seemed slow today on I-55, but then there was beer and food at the next off-ramp/

RE stupid ad:  Maybe he'd be willing to trade for a Rascal or Runabout.  I can boost one from an estate sale and make out like a Bandit.

Sooo....If his front wheel is in the air, how does his speedo keep climbing? Do some bikes(I've never heard of this, myself)take the speed off the rear wheel? Or is it clever camera work?

Many bike read form the transmission.  It is all calibrated for the gear speed and wheel/tire combo's total circumference.
