My KLR gets a new can

The KLR gets a new sound.
Or how my friend Willie helps me spend my retirement savings...

He sent me a blackberry messenger chat with the link to this ad:

"That would be no problem, Ron.
I would send it "cod" and you could handle it at your end"

"John, that would be awesome. Would you like paypal or interac email money transfer or some other form or payment that doesn't involve my first born son or blood?"

"Hey Ron. I have transferred the money. I will box the exhaust up shortly and I will let you know when it is shipped. I appreciate your trust, although if you can't trust a "KLR rider, Who can you trust. Talk to you soon John."

You know what happens here eh? We exchanged phone numbers and managed an excuse to call each other ostensibly about the exhaust in question, but in reality to try and out do each other in bike bashing. John's KLR is older than mine, I have more kilometers in a shorter period of time, he needs to sell his wife and daughter into slavery in order to get more riding time, I have a bigger head light than he does, his brakes are better than mine... I won't bore you. It's what happens in the KLR world, and can last forever. If you can't get your fill via a long distance call on your cellphone, there's a placebo here via the internet: http://klr650.net.com

I used to have one on my car many years ago(when I was young and stupid), not sure if they are still made the same way but the core rusted out within a season of use. The core held the nuts for the bolts that tie down the discs so when the core rusted the bolts had nothing to fasten to and were useless, the baffling\tuning achieved by the discs went bye bye. Hope they are made better these days
