UEM Classic RR Jurva ‘07

Filed under: Web, Riding

Went to Jurva to see some oldies race. I’ll be supporting these guys: JL Meccanica

Their Guzzi is fast, even by european standards (and can’t be far from world’s top, either..)

Here are some pics from the pits: (patience, takes a while)

Lastly, this is the racing-guzzi

Here’s the support-shirt, front and back

Rear brakes

Filed under: Ducati, bit's & pieces

Everybody knows that ducati rear brakes are so-so. (maybe all bikes are like that?)

So, my pads were on the thin side, I thought I’ll give EBC a try, so got me a set of sintered EBC pads, type FA47HH. Note that regular 996 and 996 SPS have different type pads, regular type would be FA266HH. 998 has the same as SPS. HH means sintered.

Waiting for installation.

Edit: fast forward a few hours; I just took a test ride. Holy $hit! Now the rear locks up without major effort. I don’t know if this mod was an improvement or not?? :-o Now I think I have tested that the slipper works…
