Thank you! My only issue is still at the school where I will be tight for time switching between tires(if it even rains). Has me wondering what tires their rentals have.

I typically don't do anything unless I fully understand the risk. There is always something more risky than the next, so its up to the individual to weigh the risk/reward. Thank you for the reminder though, never hurts(no pun intended) to bring it up. As for the tire choice, you are 100%...

What do you consider cruising?? I've read about, and watched video's of people turning laps in what I would call, "quicker than cruising" pace. Understandable that you won't be putting in lap times anywhere near slicks or full wets but I wouldn't think it would be as you describe...interesting!

That's real talk, and that's why I am asking. ;) I guess my logic was that I won't be anywhere near the limit of a decent dual purpose tire so why buy an extra set of wheels for dedicated rains until I am ready. Like stated already, I plan on using slicks in the future and once that happens, I...

So it is possible!

Wasn't asking for a Unicorn, just a Horse.

That is the plan once I am ready to move up to slicks. For now a dual purpose tire should suit my needs. Having said that I can be swayed by those with more experience than myself.

Very true based on the research I have been doing... As it stands, the PP3's sound like they are a superior tire in the wet, so the question is, how are they in the dry compared to the Q3? Maybe I am unnecessarily splitting hairs here.

I think I would find the same thing, in fact I guarantee that. I guess I am just looking for more confidence inspiring tires(if possible), and if I don't give up too much dry grip for that, why not do it. :)

I have Q3's on the SV and I agree. I plan to ride in all conditions so I can have a complete skill set and not have to miss sessions or entire days. A good wet tire is necessary for me!

As the title states. I sold my race car almost 2 years ago now, and while it has been nice instructing/driving students cars every now and then, the itch has never been fully scratched. Earlier this summer I seized the chance to take my SV650s on CTMP(Grandprix track) and I immediately got...

Manufactures use to ONLY deal with distributors who then dealt with the brick and mortar locations. As the national chains grew in size, they began to buy directly, cutting out the distributors entirely. Unfortunately for the small guys, they would still have to buy from the distributor and...

Wasn't aware of the policy change but no surprise. I think we will see more national retailers moving towards a tougher return policy. How does that saying go? A few bad apples spoil the bunch?

Perhaps the employee was jaded and tired of dealing with returns. No excuse to treat someone like that though, so it's a fair point. I was a CSR for a few years and became seriously jaded, so I requested a different position as I was no longer mentally fit for the job. Sounds like this...

I agree. It's a sad time we live in now. If you don't give the customer EXACTLY what they ask, that is considered bad service regardless of how ridiculous the request is. I like to call it the Walmart era(where this originated). As an example, you can now go into a Costco and return a half...

Canadian tire/Parts Source have them - usually near the brake lines and random fittings area.

Went through this about 3 months ago. When I registered back in January, it was branded unfit since I did not get it certified, nor did I request a temp sticker at that time. When I went back a couple months later to get my temp sticker (when it was nice enough to ride over to the garage), I...

No problem! Been to races ar Paris, Ohsweken, and flamborough. No Friday's though..

I will try and get some pics. We were originally going to watch my buddy Doug Lawrence(Canadian national flat track champ) run but he decided not to race afterall. Since I have never been to an AMA event I figured why not still go! The Canadian events are a pretty good time so i'd imagine the...

As the title states! Basically looking for suggestions on routes from the GTA so we can find some nice curvy roads! :D
