Default Bouncy ball down the exhaust :-(

After getting home from work this evening I went out to push my bike round the side of my house with my 2 year old boy (he likes to sit on it while I push) and his yellow bouncy ball.

I was just looking at something else when we had the following conversation:

Him: I done it!
Me: Done what?
Him: Put ball in the hole!
Me: Ummmm - which hole???

At which point he pointed in the hole in the exhaust can... I fired the bike up and gave it some revs hoping it would fire the ball out but no joy...

As such I shall mostly be spending tomorrow morning taking the exhaust can and probably headers off the bike to get the bloody ball back again whilst looking after 2 kids and enduring a moaning wife! Not exactly what I had planned...

Won't it just melt or catch fire harmlessly?

Try and see and let us know, would you?

I would be tempted to go for a ride.......momentum and full revs to the limiter would get it our surely.

If that doesn't then the heat will exterminate it for sure.
