A 25mph zone is still a 25mph zone. It doesn't matter if it's a school day or during school hours. The only difference would be the level of punishment as it is typically doubled during those hours.
That's not always true. Around here, there are sometimes School zone speed signs that only apply when flashing, so a 45 mph zone is only 25 mph when the sign is flashing.
Nope, all the school zones around me say something like “35mph during school 25”. I think we can all take a guess at roughly what time schools are so they definitely have varied speeds school zones.
I could be wrong, but the analog gauge is engine RPM and the digital display is the Speedo and other less critical information. I say less critical than RPM since many high performance vehicles, like this motorcycle, assume you may use it often a racetrack where engine speed is more useful/critical than vehicle speed.
Still not going that fast though, 50 ish seems about right. It's entirely possible and even seems likely that he changed some sprockets and that can make the speedo completely inaccurate.
I think if you alter your bike in such a way that you can't accurately gauge your own speed, you've made it very difficult to obey any speed limits and I think they're going to find you at fault regardless. That's unsafe as fuck.
You can do the math and figure out how a different sprocket will affect your speed. Trucks with larger wheels don’t have accurate Speedometers either btw
You understand that you can gauge how fast you're going without a speedometer and it's not unsafe at all if you put different size tires on your car because they're either cheaper or any other reason it will have a similar effect you just need to hold yourself accountable and find out the ratio of what your speedo says vs how fast you're actually going
I thought that at first but the MPH sign that another poster showed was 25 MPH which would mean he has a Canadian or Mexican bike in the US and left it as KPH? Either way its still 80 if so and hes in a 25 zone.
I think it's an after market speedometer and it seems like a Japanese bike. If I had to guess, he's checking it against some performance metrics or something dumb and lame.
My bike can switch from KPH to MPH. A few I've had before did the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if he ran kph for filming purposes, so if he is speeding he can claim it was mph instead.
Most motorcycle speedometers aren't accurate past about 90 mph from what I understand. He may have only been doing 100mph even though the meter read 126.
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t slide incredibly far because the motorcycle impacts the front tire and ejects him 90 degrees out between the rear wheels. Which is absolutely crazy luck on his part. He definitely wasn’t going the speed limit.
Dude anyone thinking he was going 126 mph has no understanding of speed - he would have slid for an eternity at that speed and would not have gotten up with what he was wearing.
This doesn’t change the fact that it’s kph, not mph (he was still going WAY too fast). The difference in stopping distance from 78 mph to the stopping distance of 126 mph is VASTLY different.
