I was out for a long ride last Sunday and had a an item of amusement happen. I had parked THE SG by a hanger at the Marana airport to do some fence looking. After I was done with that, I cranked her up again and proceeded to put on the riding gear again when I noticed the speedo showing 0-96 mph and the bike was standing still. It's a digital unit after thinking about it I checked the location of the magnet mounted on the front wheel. Sure enough, The magnet was right next to the speed sensor and it was vibrating with the running bike so it was registering motion. Never seen it before in the years I've had it on this bike. It was a matter of a chance incident that the magnet was by the sensor.
