A Vulcan that reads 70 but is going 60? That highly illogical. :) Anyway, has anyone ever tried using a GPS to measure their speed? I'm wondering if those things are accurate.

Whilst travelling back from our epic End to End ride (  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX-AgrsOlFs&feature=player_embedded) I decided to test how fast my 1500 was.
Yes I know it is illegal and maybe a bit stupid but sometimes the Devil gets to you.
The Trusty Steed was loaded with our camping gear with my partner Caz on the back. I am around 300 lbs with Caz being around 140 lbs. I had the satnav on to check my speed.
The bike went up to 100 mph but was showing 95 on the satnav and it was still pulling !
I know they are not meant to be fast machines but they can haul went you push them.
I also have an 800 which despite having no bags and a single seat will only get me to 90 mph on the flat. (Devil got me again !)
