Okay..... 170 mph - 155 mph. I'm impressed! Also impressed at the fact you took a nice steady picture of the speedo at either of those speeds. Figure it takes at least 1/2 a second to steady a camera (or look down w/ a video) and make sure it's focused.
155 mph = 227 feet/second.... so at minimum you travelled 113 feet while focusing on the speedo
170 mph bumps that up to 249 feet/second, or 124 feet in 1/2 second. Basically you went just shy of half a football field while taking a photo of your speedo.
Of course, I'm not very technologically advanced - so there might be a camera pointed at your speedo all the time - at that point my "look down for 1/2 a second" goes in the crapper.
All that aside - it's a damn cool picture, any way you slice it!!!!

Well......It's genuine alright-That's speedohealed-GPS corrected-No-I wasn't taking a pic at 170-that's the "highest top speed" function of the spedohealer(V4).16/43 gearing,corrected at 15.2 % error.It's correct..................UPDATE-Ya-I probably stand "a little" corrected-my forum friend( who shall remain nameless)informed me the calculation "might be" off because of tire size.It's a stock tire size-190/50.His values were 15.2. The web says 14.9.I can't remember NOW what it was set at.I THINK-15.2.No matter-I'm back to 16/42 with speedo error set at 12.9.I KNOW this setting is correct-I recently got a ticket for speeding-90 in a 70(I know,so what?)I was in fact doing 90.So his radar did confirm my settings.

That's a neat feature!
Just hope the cops don't ask you to use it if you get pulled over!

So that's it. I was thinking I had to take off by right boot so I could use my toes while snapping the pix. I don't like doing that though it's hard to brake. My toes aren't quite long enough.
