Actually, it looks like 30 mph would be risky. The bottom of the needle hits the red zone about 30. 🤔😉 Sweet bikes though. 👍

Actually, it doesn't. That would be true if the needle's pivot point was in the center of the dial where the "Sears" circle is, but the needle's pivot point is halfway down from that, so it would sweep into the red near 40mph.
