Test ride report


Got the Dunlop Q3s mounted, set the mode to Urban for the first 50 miles.  A handy way to ease break in; kept the speed down below 55 too.  Then back to 'enhanced' Touring, and a quick lap of Ortega yesterday.


First, the Q3 rear is about 1/2" bigger in diameter than the Scorpion, so I reduced the rear preload a bit to compensate.  The bike feels like it's on rails now, with much better grip and stability.  Turns better, too.  Got to about 1/4" of the edge right away.  And my wife, riding her SV, commented on how much less 'squidgy' the front feels, compared to the Rossos.  So that makes 4 bikes that I've fitted them to, including my now-sold Buell.  They performed equally well on all.


And they're even made here in the USA...:)
