Wow, that is one toasted pipe!

Uh, Papakeith, I see no less than 4 bikes listed in your signature. You trying to tell me that NONE of them will be rideable for the weekend?? ;)

Keith, you're just full of excuses aren't you. I'd gladly trade places with you seeing as how I'll be on a plane to Egypt Saturday night.

1998- ummm you see the condition of the pipe. :(
1987- frame in one corner of the shed wheels in another spot, engine split open.
1984- I suppose I could ride this one. But I've been spoiled by the new fangled ride it and it'll blow apart technology. :confused:
1980- At my nephews house with blown fork seals, bent bars, and a cracked front rim. (he owes me big time)

Provided all my paperwork is in order, I fly out Saturday night and return Thursday. According to BRush, don't talk about politics, religion or Israel.

I'm no Nancy when it comes to International travel. ;)

Keith,
That pipe looks terrible. I bet duct tape could fix it up in a jiffy ;)
Do you think it may have had gas setting it it that ignited? I've seen flames shoot out the silencer before because of gas in the pipe but I've never seen one like yours.

Bill,
Good luck in Egypt. Just don't act like yourself and you should be fine :p

and, leave the zip tyes at home! I hear they don't take kindly to that kind of humor over there. ;)

All kidding aside, have a safe trip. Be careful.

Woods I don't envy that trip! I too spent many years doing that international thing...it can eat up up if your not careful...and they are right about what to chat about and what not too!

Papakeith, thats a mess. A good weld shop can put it back together for a whiles but my bet is the vibration has toasted it. Pipes are easy to get. Bet that '84 is still fun. I know my 82' gets the call frequently. Life is still good.

Yikes. Take care on your trip, Bill. Hope you have a good local contact in Egypt, that should smooth things out a bit.

Jeez Papakeith..that is the strangest thing ever!!!!

With regard to getting the pipe welded, wouldnt it just be easier to get a new pipe?? Just a suggestion. You can probably get one shipped for early next week.

Check out www.DBSracing.com They are here in Connecticut and claim to have a one day shipping for people in the Northeast!!!

Is that what happens if you stick a banana in your silencer?

Nope it's what can happen when you twist the throttle on a CR500! :whiner:

Man, I would be afraid that's what my HEAD would look like if I had a CR500! Not from a tree or anything, but from my jaw dropping off! Guess I better stick to my 250.

If that pipe is from your CR 500 and its a Pro circuit or FMF (which I have) then they always split there unless it was made with th new reinforced piece. I just got a brand new pipe from FMF cause my pipe split almost the same way and they replaced it with the new kind that has a piece that was welded in that spot to reinforce it.
