The blue or teal display colors provide better daytime visibility.

Thanks for the input guys. That is diffenately something to consider. Maybe since the display is hard to see in bright light maybe I won't know I'm going 140.

F.Y.I. - You will be held responsible if I show-up at a ralley and there's a fleet of them to meet me...

Thanks Danny, 140 would be a white knuckle ride. Be the first to show up at the ralley then everyone else will be followers. Or document it here on the forum then you have proof of origination.
