So instead of one data source, you want 2? GPS is crap for speed info anyhow. And a motorcycle speedo is fine at LEGAL speeds. I used to sell Kawasaki's...
No, I want one accurate source, but I'll take a second if the first sucks. Your Kawasakis may have been great, but BMW has notoriously optimistic speedos. YMMV.
GPS has its uses, HUD for bikes aint it.
Probably true. I wasn't arguing for HUD, I was arguing against the suggestion that a HUD should use Bluetooth-transmitted data from the bike's speedo. That just seems silly to me.
Motorcycle speedometers generally have a far greater margin of error than automobiles. They tend to be very optimistic. I'll take more accurate GPS info, thanks.
Which I mentioned in my post, and also noted that most supermarket discount cards double as your check-cashing card. I'll say it again -- your 'solution' is fine as long as you never write checks at the supermarket.

This is silly. Everyone knows that the microwave beams can't penetrate the electro-magnetic field created by the earth's spinning core!
Of course they're stretching. Skipping? Come on, geeks don't jog, silly.
