I've broken in the Pilot Power 3s and so far so good. They have great handling characteristics and inspire confidence.
Speaking of inspiring confidence, haha. I was running on a short stretch of highway in between two roads I was on. The road is one where people speed by a bit as the limit is 50mph for some reason. Most do 60-65. I pulled away from the stop sign and was going down a pretty steep hill, with the left turn I would be taking being up on the left over the next hill which is maybe 1/4 of a mile away. Well, as I was coming down the hill I hit about 71...not even unheard of in a car, but in a line of cars coming the other way there was a state trooper who instantly reacted as soon as I came into sight. I already knew it. Luckily I was given a warning...I'm not even sure how (besides good record and me not being an obvious squid). Maybe he's a rider as well. He did however say my turn signals are not legal. I got rid of the lollipop style that stick out a little to smaller flush mount LED ones up front that are far more noticeable (and are angled forward so you can see them looking straight on). The rear tail light has integrated signals that are bigger and brighter than the stock lights. He said that's also illegal. When I looked up the law, Maryland apparently doesn't even require any turn signals on motorcycles (which was my understanding, anyway). Going to have to find out about that.
