so i was riding on a poker run and exhaust broke
on the last leg of a 150 mile 7 hours poker run (which i never had a chance of getting a good hand) my ehaust boke on me. my rivits had been stretching out the hole on the can for a while now, well they finally broke off. so i had to ride about 15 miles with the can just hanging in the hanger and the exhaust runnin super loud. heres some picture of what happened and how i fixed it
this is how it broke and i tried everything to get this piece off but its like welded its self to the mid pipe
thought about cutting off about an inch but i decided to cut about 6 and go with the shorty look
heres a pic of the old one and you can see the shorty on the other side

epic fail and a first gear wheelie at slow speeds. i was just trying to learn how to ride them slow but... broken oil caps for the brake side and clutch side, broken clocks, broke clutch lever, bent clip on, tore out my taillight broke the rear fairing, minor bend in the rear set, no mirrors no more, passenger peg bracket is toast... and like all the fairing are done for as well as the windscreen... probably more but ive just starting looking into it

...at least you were slow.
I looped my Triumph.
3rd gear....mud or something on my left boot. Standing up, leaning to the left to see past the windscreen. Slipped off. Totalled.
Now I promised my wife and kids, no more hooliganism. (but accidents happen. sssshhhh! ...just no more high speed accidents)
