If I had more time to play, I think this would be pretty cool on a motorcycle.

An interesting idea. It may be more impactfull (bad choice of word!?) if you could see where it reads "My Speed Is". Otherwise it just looks like a random lit numeral on one's back. It may even cause target fixation as motorists following contemplate the meaning as they get closer, and closer, and closer...... ???  ::)  :D

You would need at least three digits for a motorcycle which would make them too small to be readable by the driver about to run over you.    BDC

Since I spend considerable riding time above the posted, I really would not want to advertise my velocity!!

You need to think of it more like the high scores on frogger :) The winner has the highest number.
