Yes, and thank you Geoff! :lol:

By the way, this is how i calibrated my speed indicator.
pull the needle off, drive 100 KM/h on the GPS and push it back in the 100 KM/H position :smt035

Come on, the M-100 is capable of much more than 124 mph but sort out suspension and brakes first.

This was the coldest year I remember up to now. However, today the weather was OK. Time for a trip on the Autobahn.
