I once lost an expansion chamber off a two stroke Kawasaki Triple thanks to metal fatigue. It cartwheeled down the road, throwing off some impressive sparks, and struck a very glancing blow to a Ford Sierra. The owner was very stroppy about it, insisting that I should pay him for a full re-spray. I gently pointed out that the main damage to his paintwork read “SDP=$HIT” and that it wasn’t my exhaust’s handwriting.
IIRC I ended up giving him £20 and refitting the exhaust with some hose clips from a nearby garage.
