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

Looks good. Nice job! Did it get louder with shorter pipes?
Did you take the opportunity to put in new packing?

your windscreen is broken and should be replaced along with the left fairing, there may be other damage as well.

...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)

what's wrong with you guys riding on one wheel like that. God gave you two wheels and you're still not satisfied. He should permanently relegate yous two to unicycles for being so ungrateful.
