I ride in the rain probably a 100 days a year and here is my list of favorite tires:
1. Bridgestone Hypersport S20
2. Pilot Road 2
3. Pilot Power 2
The S20 is bar none the stickiest tire I've run, especially in the rain, but it wears quickly (4K).
I haven't tried the Pilot Road 3, but...
My '03 Honda VFR-800 Interceptor in front of the avalanche shoot that tried to kill me.

I agree, I own both and my VFR has nearly 50K miles and I can tell it feels more refined. I know the suspension feels much better, but there are lots of little things too (outside temp, 4 headlights, aluminum frame, single-sided swing arm, etc...). There is a reason why a new VFR sells for...
They do have a lot of similarities, but power is definitely not one of them. It's much more torquey and pulls very hard when the VTEC kicks in at 7K.
114HP > 78HP
The VFR feels longer, so I feel a bit more stretched out. The OEM seat is only slightly more comfortable on the VFR, but both...
Congratulations, I'm actually shopping for Triumph right now. I'm keeping my 6R for now, but I'm selling my interceptor, so I can buy a Sprint ST (3rd Gen 05-10).
:beer:
My light drinking beers are Stella or Coors light (if it's hot out). I typically drink stouts, or wheat beers (dunkels, wits, or hefs) though. Not really a fan of IPA's or any other bitter beers.
I've been brewing beers and distilling (shhh!) for a couple years and make one hell...
Another oil change mishap... I seem to have a lot of them.
I was changing the oil in my Dodge with a Cummins for the first time. I had about a 2 gallon catch pan, but soon learned that the engine holds over 4 gallons of oil! Doh! :rtfm:
Don't tell the EPA, but that looked like a Valdez...
Why, are you divorced now?!? LMAO :thumbup:
I can't count how many times I've added new oil during an oil change and left the drain plug out.
Not necessarily a blunder on my part, but definitely a major PITA. I once did a whole motor and transmission swap in my 540i BMW only to find out...
:welcome:
Welcome aboard! I actually work in Woodinville and commute daily on either my FZ6R or my Interceptor.
There are some decent short rides in the neighborhood. Let me know if you want to check them out.
