Way home today, didn't really notice until I was at a standstill. Know what the bike sounds like without an exhaust, didn't want to look down. Rode back and forth for a while trying to find it, no chance mate, thats gone. All that was on there on the wat home to act as a silencer (if that) was the high level link pipe.

Gutted. Ahh well, me own fault, shoulda double checked me bolts. Obviously, it had just had enough.

I was gonna rip the plate of to make a story more fesable if I did get stopped. Thought I would just tell the truth and say i was just getting it home.

Not sure exactly when it happened, but I looked for half an hour for it and it was nowhere to be seen. Was NSL country roads, prob pressure on the can and just said, fook off fatty, I'm off this way. No hanger so my own fault.

His stubby probably wasn't far off no silencer at all.

I did mention the nice hanger that he was using on saturday morning...
"nah thats going nowhere mate"....

sound familiar? lol

It does come to something when even the bits of your bike are too scared to ride with you mate:)

Did brighten up my day when I got the text though!

I just thought " thats a ladys fo fo "!

Yeah I meant it wasn't going nowhere from the link pipe lol. I didn't expect it to detach itself from there lol.

Oh well, M4 system will be on order shortly :)

We spoke about this on the peaks rideout, you said then it sounded "wrong"
I believe we came the conclusion that it was resonence from the other bikes.
That was obviously wrong:( Sorry

It never occured to me that the can was not supported and therefore vibrating off
