    Well that went better...

    Just got back from a great round 3 at Sears Point. My buddy Eric joined me again which was great since he could help me with any bike issues and he's a great sounding board for working through my challenges out on track. After having such a difficult first racing experience the last round, I...

    Murphy Was A Motorcycle Racer (long)

    After my first ever race weekend I was hoping to write about the race experience- the adrenaline coursing through my veins just as the green flag drops, the rush as we go through turn 1 and up the hill into turn 2 on the first lap, the passes for position and the inevitable success or failure at...

    2 thumbs up for Helimot

    This probably won't be a surprise to most people here on Barf, but I just wanted to give some props to Helimot. I just picked up my suit after being cleaned at Helimot and what can I say other then I'm constantly impressed with the customer service and quality of workmanship. If I didn't know...

    Ducati water pump cover compatibility?

    Searching fleabay for a water pump cover for my '02 748. Honestly, the pics all look like the same part, but depending on the listing they list different bikes. I'd assume the 748/916/996 are the same part, but everything else is slightly different? thanks!

    Lowside on the exit of the Carousel

    B+1 Group yesterday at the end of the 4th session (right before lunch). Ended up loosing the rear on the exit (I was already on the drag strip when it happened). Ended up sliding all the way out to the flag station above the drag strip. I came out without a scratch/bruise, but my day was ended...

    Preventing audio chopping for onboard video?

    So I've got a Samsung SC-X205L camcorder mounted on my tank and I'm getting serious audio chopping due to wind noise. I've tried RTV'ing the hole where the audio pickup is on the lipstick camera, but that doesn't seem to help. Any suggestion on how to prevent this? I don't need great audio...

    Did I see what I thought I saw?

    Didn't make Lagnua for the races. Just finished watching Superbike on Tivo and at the end of the race, while Speed is showing the top 5 stats, I swear I see the f**king safety car hit one of the racers on track in the background. :wtf Rider didn't look hurt, but bike/rider goes down. Anyone...

    New rotors & old pads?

    So I've got a little quandary. I'm trying to upgrade the brakes on my Ducati 748, but the new Vesrah SRJL pads got delayed. I've also just swapped to a set of Brembo 4 pad calipers (off a 999, came with some slightly used stock Brembo pads) and a new set of Galfer wave rotors. I've got zero...

    Where to get large (>10mm) allen wrenches?

    Had to get a 12mm allen wrench at the last minute last weekend to change the cush drives on my 748. Went over to Winchester Auto. Was raped. Even the guy behind the counter felt bad for me. I know there's a few more even larger allens on the bike and would love to know where I can pick up...

    Any experience with with www.morepoweracing.com?

    Looking at buying some new wheels, and I found the Marchesini 10 spoke forged alumn for $1425 shipped which is an amazing deal. Motowheels.com is $1670 in comparision... Trouble is I've never heard of morepoweracing.com and have no idea how reputable they are. Local dealer can get them for...

    AFAM sprocket rattles?

    Bike: ducati 748 ('02) So I was cleaning my chain today, and noticed that the rear sprocket/carrier could slightly twist laterally. Meaning, the angle of the sprocket can change from 90deg in relation to the axle. There's not a lot of movement, but it is noticeable. I checked the 5 bolts...

    Rigging the fan to run with key in OFF (ducati superbike)

    My problem is specific to a '02 748, but I'll bet it's the same for all the superbikes... Long story short, anyone know how to mod the bike so you can put the key in the OFF position and let the fan continue to run and cool off the engine? I can't read wiring specs worth a damn, but I've got...

    Hi BARF

    Long time lurker, finally bothered to register so I can actually say something occasionally. Been riding about 5 years or so, currently on an '02 748. Was going to do only a "few" track days this year... just finished my 9th at Thill yesterday. <insert witty comment here> -Aaron
