that happened to me..kid with a 92-95 civic hatch has a slammed car...was just riding about 40-50mph on a back road and his exhuast just tumbled off his car and across the street into me, no avoiding it unfortunately...
no real damage to me...bike had just cracked fairings, new headlight, stator cover, new frame sliders, a mirror, clutch lever, brake lever, and new rubber, exhuast.
i had a jacket etc on so i was okay, just road rash on my hip and some bruised ribs
his excuse was the product was defective when purchased...tried to pawn the problem off on the company who made the product. my arguement was then if thats the case...blame the mfg...then i blame you..the mfg says its for offroad use only.
