Wel it could have gone a lot worse, I explained the whole thing to him and I said could have fallen of when he was riding in a group like he usually does and fell off and could have caused 5 or 6 other guys behind him to have an accident.
He accepted and is willing to pay the amount I told him with no problems, after that he said he would pay whatever I spent on the bike, I said no, just the exhaust, fixing the rest of the bike was just out of kindness really and abit more experience under the belt,
And like packie said I now have the knowledge never to borrow or loan a bike in the future.
It was a tidy job in the end, it was the end can that caused the problem, the bracket was too loose and was shaking the pipe the whole time, and it just shook the rotten pipe until it split, so word of warning to ya guys, tighten that bracket!!!
Although one thing he didn't like was the fact I told him the whole down pipe will have to be replaced soon and it's rusted all over and only a matter of time
