Light at the end of the tunnel

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Seriously low geared. Nice paintwork too. :mrgreen:
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Its just the front half of the exhaust. I have now fitted the rear bit, but its only got a cherry bomb in it so its still a bit on the loud side. After a busy weekend, its now got brakes and the rear rad all fitted. If i have a good day Saturday i might be able to test it on Sunday 8-)
