I can imagine. There must be some cheap second hand full systems for your bike you can lay your hands on out there.

It was a pile of parts. I bought some cheap drag pipes only to realize I didn't have the crossover pipe, which is why full exhaust kits are so pricey. The factory piece is a brick that mounts it to the bike AND has the crossover pipe built into it. That's some moron level stuff IMO. Then there is the way the carb/air filter/breather system is set up which is a complete hassle to remove and re-install if you need to get the carb off. Or the manifold itself, and the horn in the way of removing those bolts smh, lol.
 
Incidentally I didn't write the S1000R off myself... Another bike ran up the back of me while I was sitting stationary at a pedestrian crossing. Their insurance covered it... Still it's a PITA.

I watched a dude do that to a guy once during a Christmas toy run.....right in front of a bike cop who was stopped directing traffic. Least nobody was hurt, just dude's pride I guess.

Here is what a quick Google search gave me.

Argentina has not received a $20 billion payment from the U.S. government, but the U.S. has provided a $20 billion currency swap line to Argentina's central bank. The aid is aimed at stabilizing Argentina's economy ahead of legislative elections and is conditioned on the success of President Javier Milei's political party.
Key details about the U.S. financial assistance:
  • Form of aid: The assistance is structured as a currency swap line, which is an emergency credit line where the U.S. Treasury exchanges stable U.S. dollars for volatile Argentine pesos.
  • Political ties: The move is largely seen as backing for Argentine President Javier Milei, a strong political ally of U.S. President Donald Trump.
  • Unusual method: Directly providing a credit line of this scale is an unusual step for the U.S., which more commonly provides international aid through the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
  • IMF loans: The U.S. financial support comes in addition to a separate $20 billion Extended Fund Facility that Argentina received from the IMF in April 2025.
The financial support has drawn scrutiny from critics who argue it uses U.S. taxpayer dollars to prop up a foreign economy for political reasons.
 
In a nutshell Its like a line of credit it seems which does seem odd doesn't? I suppose they have to pay it back in some way.

Political favors ???
