 |
|
snapped the thing in half last teusday.
75mph in the outside lane overtaking wagons as well when it dropped off  luckily the rest of the pipe aint damaged as it was held on at the rear.
this is where it hit the tarmac.
the break.
and re-welded. 
hopefully itll last another 20,000 miles.

I do love the PM pipework, very nice workmanship... just needs to be in titanium so keeps its looks, and gets the nice rainbow tint when hot...
But tidy repair there and should last fine... |

i had TWO scorpion pipes, they were both rubbish, they just took all the power away from the scooter and one lasted less than 600 miles (4 days).
it made abit of difference up top but off the line it was an absolute dog. oh and it was great fun when showers of sparks were shooting out of the back of it becuase the baffle had collapsed inside becuase the welds had cracked from the heat.

yeah but the new "double strap on" system should prevent the baffle collapsing...........

Come on you lot put your claws away and let the poor deluded Ken Dodd have his fun, after all for him it is more about the admiring glances he gets than performance.
