You could also look at it the way buddies of mine fight MVR traffic tickets. A simple paper from a mechanic to show that the speedo was not properly calibrated will get you a defective equipment. Since there is no law that says you must have a speedometer on a bicycle how would or could you know just how fast the bike is travelling.
That said, I've been trying for about 18 years to get a speeding ticket on my bike. My old town I could do about 42 in a downhill 25. The cop was never there when I wanted him to be.

BTW, in this situation I'd go to court, admit guilt but ask the judge not to put it on my MVR since it was on my bike. If you have a clean MVR otherwise I'm guessing you have at least a 50/50 shot at not having it affect your rates.
