Speedometer accuracy...
How can I test this without paying the stealer? There is a discrepancy between Scootergrrls speedo and mine, and I wanna know which is closer to correct. There used to be a speedo sign onthe side of the road up on Malibu canyon, bt it doesn't work anymore...Anyone?

You could always go for the low tech approach. Get on the freeway set speed at sixty. Check you watch as you pass a milepost. If the speedo is correct you will pass the next milepost 60 seconds later.

I have a friend who is a cop. I just had him follow me for a few miles. I checked my highest speed with his and found out my speedo was reading 10 mph slow at 60 mph. Glad I found out this way.

That's the way I've always done it!
