WTF! How? When? It Still Ran with this monstrosity? this happened on the exhaust side, so this piece must have blew through the pipe. I checked the pipe and no rattling or pieces.

I remember the 3rd time running this bike in the high-desert, I was WOT in 5th for about 10 Seconds and Poof! Pop! Bunch of black smoke and the bike hiccup'd ...this must have been it. but it still ran...took it to Glen Helen more the 4 times and milestone more the 6 times after this. Steve McQueen was looking out for me....WoW



Cylinder was fine No scratches no scuffs (note the dark spot, this was oil i did not wipe off)
