Re: Speed Record for the GZ250

My GPS proves the GZ speedometer is quite accurate. Any speed notice should be on the flat with no wind. A rock can go fast downhill behind a truck with a tailwind
But 90mph??? I don't...

It strikes me as odd that it is a secret about who owns this board. And the employment of who monitors the board.
