Who said GoldWings were slow?

Seen somewhere near the toll booths on the A10 near Orleans.

 

Which number is the speed Dodger?
And what units?

 

I think it says his average speed is 406 - but I'm not sure of the units.
Could be feet per hour? Inches per minute. Then again I could be wrong and
it is actually an indication that he's been to the moon.

It's all bloody blurred. I even cleaned me bins but it didn't make any
difference.

The symbol to the upper right of the 406 looks very much like the symbol for
MALE, so it could be his testosterone level?

 

Nah, sussed it, it's travelled in time. Look at the date. Must have hit
88mph.

 

Is there a particular number we should be looking at?

 

I can see the compass heading is 240 degrees, and you were
here:

....but for those of us who don't own the same model of Garmin
GPS, care to point out which of those fuzzy numbers is the
speed, and what units it is being measured in?

 

Thank **** for that, I was beginning to worry about overmasturbation finally
kicking in.

 

Dunno, does it sound like the start of the twilight zone?

What altitude were you dropped from?

 

I thought the value of pi(e in the sky) was 3.14 to 2 sf

 

'S funny, I find Wik's GPS to be a bit odd too. Every time I follow
him using it, I find myself on a single-track road picking my way
through the gravel, between cowpats.

Heh, it's summat to do with GPS being deprived a signal momentarily,
just long enought that when it reestablishes the signal, it throws up
silly numbers.

Funnily enough, only yesterday, Suze, myself and the dog allegedly did
18.2mph on foot...

When I first took mine to France, we'd stopped at a cafe for a drink and the
GPS didn't seem to realise we'd stopped. Instead the speed increased up to
about 800mph and the map was scrolling along like mad

Turning it off and on fixed it.

 

dwb says...

My maps don't do that

 

Luckily I have a brain, so wasn't fooled.

 

Sounds more like a software issue than a gps signal problem. Unless going
inside the cafe blew the signal.
