Never had any issues with the PR2's, I do prefer the Avon's though!

In short, yes it's possible. What you do with that information is up to you. ;)

Re: KD on Pilot Roads 2?
 

+1. 15k miles on 2 sets of PR2's, and not a single grip related clench yet. Push them hard when cold & you're asking for trouble, as they're slow to warm, other than that, easy to scrape the pegs.

Re: KD on Pilot Roads 2?
 

You could probably scrape the pegs in the wet if you're gentle enough ;)

Re: KD on Pilot Roads 2?
 

You can get you knee down easy with standard dunlops on which are supposed to be deadly :rolleyes: I'm sure you will be fine with PR2

Don't encourage him....:smt003

Re: KD on Pilot Roads 2?
 

That, I can confirm. :)

Re: KD on Pilot Roads 2?
 

Yup I am nuts :). Bit of adrenaline junkie. I'm pretty confident on left turns, and can scrape the pegs easily. BUt right turns are another thing, crap at them!

Re: KD on Pilot Roads 2?
 

By any chance is that mainly borne from a fear of on-coming traffic taking your head off? If so, sit wider in the corner. It'll kepp you neck in one piece should traffic come the other way & wide, but also provides a better view of the road ahead.

Just remember that when the pegs are on the floor, you're creating a triangular contact patch (front/rear tyres being the other 2 points of contact). It doesn't take much (bump in the road etc) to take one contact point out of the equation - and it's usually a tyre! KD is without doubt safer IMO, as your knee won't take the weight of the bike, so that's the contact point that gets removed if any.

Have fun trying anyway!

I hope so! I'm at Rockinham tomorrow, and the weather looks....stormy #-o
