It's part of why the EU brought in some legislation. I remember a mate with a Bonneville in 1980 showing me his speedo as we rode along. My Guzzi was at at 60mph - his bounced between 50 and 80.If you try to use the "my speedo said I was ..." you get handed a second ticket for operating with defective equipment. The guvmut will always get it's piece.
30 years ago the world was different. The onus was upon the law to prove guilt. Not simply apportion it.
