i've run them before and loved them over the 208 i had before. i haven't tried PP's at all so I can't really compare though.

[akira700]

From what I have read the Qualifier does not last
as long as the Pilot Power, but both have comparable
grip levels.

i used PPs before and I will be taking some qualifiers to the track july 17th with about 3400+ miles on them - I'll let you know how they feel!

PK has Power Race's for $240 a set..with free shipping!
(Free Shipping = he's bringing a set with him to the track for me on the 17th)

If you bought Michelins last year you prolly won't find that same price this year as Michelin had a price increase for this year.

so I used the qualifiers on the track - they held up pretty well, heated up really fast - my only issue with them was they let go in the corners with considerably less warning than the PP's. my ass end was all over the place exiting some corners and I really can't blame it on the overactive throttle hand, they just seemed to run out of tire later in sessions. I felt like I had to ride a bit more "tenative" than with the PP's...

So I guess what I am saying is if someone were to put a gun to my head I would pick the PP's but I wouldnt be upset with the qualifiers.

Oh yeah and I lowsided out of 12 (cut the corner just too tight for any tire and the ass end came around...)

[ku996r]

dude, you alright? the bike, any damages?

did you hit the bump coming out of T12?

[Crash Dummy Denno]

nah no bump - I was fine, my left shoulder is a little sore today - just annoyed with myself - the bike was pretty much ok - hit the frame slider, rear spool, left bar end - and no rash on the plastics...

earlier in the day I decided to take a run across the grass between 11 and 12 (way too hot into 11 on my warm-up lap) which ended in me breaking my left peg and cleaning dirt out of the left side of the bike

other than that it was a great day!

[akira700]

Man Smooth,
What are you doing to your new bike ?!

I think you need to hand that thing over to me for
safe keeping !

How did you deal with a broken peg most of the day
then ? You had a spare?

[Kham]

hey thanks. that makes buying decision a lot easier. sorry about your crash. hope everything is ok.

[ku996r]

I had some trouble running 11 and 12 too last week. but then I also had trouble with 1, 2, 3, the bowl, pit-in, pit-out and also putting the bike on side-stand after tech.

good to hear you and the beautiful bike is fine.

I had to take off my passenger peg and then use some washers to take up the extra space and then some tape to try to keep it from moving - then back at it! (tape fell off)

yeah - it figures - i get my new pretty bike and what do I do but bin it twice!

that's the way it goes when you start pushing harder

its a strange dynamic though - the harder you push - the slower you go

Damn dude! I remember hearing that get off after tech but I had no idea the rest of your day was that challenging.

[ku996r]

it was all good. just learning experience, most of my issues (early apex, inconsistent exit lines) were in the 1st couple of sessions, the afternoon went much better.

I did however got pulled in for brake lights and tony asked if I spoke english. shit man I can't hear jack with my pipes and earplug.
