My 695 will do 140 no problem.  kph?  I mean, it's only about 87mph... and it's sold in Greece.

Clearly ebay is trolling the DMF.  I going to have to make a shirt that says "Flight begins on the treadmill"

On a big down hill I hit 135 (indicated which really means 128mph with 6% speedo error)... A 696 will hit 140mph if you drop it out of the back of a plane.

I saw 100 on my 620 speedo once, if felt really weird, like I was going to fall over or something.............so I took it back up to my usual 140

So if you drop a 696 out of the back of a plane with you on it, shouldn't it say: Life begins at 140 and then ends when you hit the ground?

696 can nail a 3000ft landing doing a wheelie

Will it break the sound barrier if you drop it from the RedBull stratos balloon from 23 miles up?  ;D
