On an other thread, someone was talking about using a droid app to determine the speed at which they ride. Well I got to thinking that I should try such an app to test my speed.

After I found a nice app, I gave it a try. This app not only provides current speed but records top speed, quarter mile and 0 to 60 time recording.

After taking the good old 250B out tonight, I recored that my fastest speed was 75 on the flats, (speedo read the same) and the quarter mile was in 20 seconds while 0 to 60 was in 22 seconds.

What app? I ask because I have tried 2 so far and I am wondering how accurate it really is. It was super foggy this morning so I didn't try to rig up a mount but instead turned on Speedview and stuck the phone in my pocket. Much to my surprise when I pulled into my spot at work, it showed 69mph as my top speed. Why was I surprised you ask? I never went over an indicated 100kph on the speedo. I have Ulysse Speedometer app also and it showed my wife's speedo in her van to be dead on with the gps.

Sounds like it is real accurate

Doobie? What? Who? Oh yea. Now I remember.

The App that I used was called speed view. I used it earlier in the day against my car and seemed pyrite accurate. I can only tell you what I provided me.

To let you know, I run a MC 250B look-a-like with a 257 engine. I have switched to sliders and believe that they are 12 grams each. The exhaust has broken in side but I don't know if that makes a difference.
