I know it's a labor of love on your part, and I wasn't trying to insinuate otherwise. Your calendar efforts are much appreciated!
If that bottomed out speedo needle does make the calendar, I can alreay see it: 30 years from now one of our grandchildren will find an ol' 2024 calendar stashed away under a bunch of boxes out in the shed. He'll flip through the dog-eared calender pages and ask his motorcycle history buff dad about this and that photo. When dad sees the speedo photo at 125mph, he'll pause and utter "wait-a-minute...this can't be right...these things had a rev limiter of 112mph"...and that's when grandson/daughter will ask that insightful question...

..."what's a revlimitur for, daddy?"

Or: " ... I didn't know steam engines, err, ... I mean dino-powered (gas?) internal combustion (Did I get that right, granddaddy?) engines could move that fast.

Grandpa - Did they have flying bicycles (They are called 'motorcycles', grandson) like they do today?

Hey look grandpa! That mo-tor-cy-cle is of the same brand as our robo-chef, 'Honda'. ... "

I tell my children that their children will laugh at the idea that their mom/dad actually had to carry around a 3"x6" inch "brick" that could be lost/stolen/dropped, that clothing had special pockets just for these antiquated pieces of technology...

...because brain-chip implants will replace cell phones. Hard 2-second blink both eyes opens the "screen" your brain sees, your thoughts and eye movement control the internet pages / messages / photos / videos. Think "google", blink and the google screen opens. Think "call mom", blink and you can hear mom's voice inside your head. You don't have to talk, just think the thoughts and mom "hears" your thoughts in her brain.

They laugh and say, "yeah, right"...kinda like my sibs and I used to do when 'mad scientists' would tell us one day phones won't have chords and that we could just carry them around wherever we went.
