<DIV></DIV>&gt;speedo on my 87 weekender reads 670,102
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;It was 270K when I got it,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;as I was rolling over 300K the 100K digit kept rolling
<DIV></DIV>&gt;until it was stuck halfway between 5 and 6.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;a few thousand miles later it settled on 6.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Not sure why that happened -
<DIV></DIV>&gt; but it deinfietly makes good conversation whenever I bring it into a new shop!
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I can't wait to see what happens when I roll over 7...
