The other guy is trying to say his bike is faster going downhill than your bike is going uphill. It is, but the argument is nonsense.

Wow, isn't this stuff like the ABC's of the Private Pilot training? How could someone argue these points. There is only 1 right answer. If this person was a good friend and I could cut up with them without insulting them I would say, "You can't fix stupid", but If were just an acquaintance then I would respectfully walk away or end this discussion.
Some things are just not meant to be debated. Definitions of TAS, IAS and GS falls in that category.

Wow this blew up! I've been away training in my RV, thanks for your input all. I'm not wanting to insult either of these guys or anything, just wanted to be sure of my arguments. Reassuring that my brain still works sometimes.

Another thing that may bewilder the non-Van?s group is that on the Van?s designs, Vno is based on indicated airspeed regardless of altitude and Vne is based on true airspeed. Let them chew on that for a little bit.

Well, just like anything else on the interwebz - just because somebody says it, doesn't mean it's accurate.

True

But in this case it is accurate.

I never could wrap my head around true airspeed until I started flying jets, so I feel the other guy's pain. For the guys who never climb over 4500' I could see it happening.
