I got 65 GPS on flat highway with a slight breeze at my back two nights ago. The Buddy said ~74. I had to do some personal streamlining (crouching) to get it to that speed. I wonder on a decent downhill what the Buddy could do...

Ah! You answered my question from another thread without intending to. :P

I got that coming home the other night and was wondering what the GPS would have said had I had it along.

Pretty fun, huh? :D

I've never used my GPS for that. but at any rate, it's a little un nerving for me on those little wheels... seems like whenever i do that, I end up getting a side gust of wind....LOL

Nice!

I'm wary of going faster than that unless you specifically bought speed rated tires for the job. The brakes are also not so fancy at high speeds.

That doesn't stop me from doing it sometimes though :P.
