Had the Q3s mounted up at SS this morning. Initial impressions on the short ride home...bike tips in more readily than with the SPs. This could be the new tires, or the result of slightly squared stockers, or about 5 psi of air more from the shop than I usually run, or a combination of all three...we shall see...
They do turn in pretty good. You should go get some more miles on them before the rains come.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

While I was waiting for the Q3s to be mounted yesterday I asked Bill about the 1290SD R, he said it was an allocation bike and that they had not received an allocation yet...he had no clue as to when they may get one...

Put an easy 65 miles on them today and I'm really liking them. Dropped the cold air pressures down some and returned the fork preload to where it was when we measured the sag...turn in is better than with the stockers and they just feel good, so far...
Also tried out my new helmet, a bit less noise than the Signet Q, but still noisy. I didn't find out until after I bought it, but the Sig Q was designed for a more upright riding position. The more you lean forward the noisier it is...the new helmet doesn't do this and it is less affected by the wind when you turn your head to look behind you. The Arai is a bit more comfortable, but I think I prefer the new one...Scorpion EXO R2000.

Finished up the Q3 break in with a casual run up Tantalus this afternoon...Porky, er, ah, Speedy feels more "flickable" with the Q3s than the SC SPs...

Do you find them harsh? Others are bit critical of them in that regard although I can not recall feeling that in the two sets I've run.

I did notice what I perceived as a bit more firmness than the OE rubber, but I wrote that off as a of a result of the cooler weather we've been having...don't have enough miles on them as of yet to say for sure.

Happens all too often over here. Montgomery Motors was hit like that last year.
