That's what I thought. Firstly, a Triumph speedometer won't roll back
(the ratchet won't let it), so you have to roll it forward. Secondly,
it takes a *long* time with a domestic drill to put miles on. Thirdly,
the tiny plastic gears in the odometer wear out pretty quickly if you
drive them at that speed, so you'll end up having to take the odometer
assembly apart, and replace the gears with some taken from another
odometer. Given that you'll end up taking it apart anyway, you might
just as well take it apart in the first place, and put it back together
with the odometer reading the correct mileage that you require.
