    Did you happen to see the accident where a older Jeep and a honda CR450F hit eachother?

    There's a few of them around. Last I knew though, nobody actually makes a hood. On my dads Jeep (below), he got a cowl hood, took about 2" from the middle section to cut it down, then fiberglassed it in. I like the looks, but I also like the "stock" look.

    Buddy of mine was on the drag strip making passes on his bike. Looped around to head back towards the starting line and a jeep was cutting across the directional traffic. They met at a pretty good speed, enough to blow the jeeps front tire off the bead. Broke my friends arm, and back. Damaged his spinal cord and is currently paralyzed from the waist down. The guy was drunk driving the jeep with out a license and it happened to be his 3rd DUI.

    Holy shit that sucks. I went out for my first time on a bike this year (KTM 300 2 stroke). My second ride ever on a bike actually. Not sure why I bought a bike but it was fun as hell. The dunes are a lot safer than wooded trails but assholes can ruin everything. I hope your friend is ok and can ride again in some form.

    What time did that happen? We were there from about 12'ish to 7'ish at the strip the whole time. Sorry to hear about your friend. I can't believe somebody can be out driving like that after 3 DUI's and no license. Some people just don't give a shit about anything but themselves.

    Happened like right around 6pm. Yeah, hard to believe people would drink and drive out there on a busy weekend. I could understand if you sat out on the water and didnt drive. Driving anything out there on a busy weekend requires all of your attention. We love the dragstrip, two years ago I was racing a guy on another 450, sure enough as i clicked 4th a guy on a quad pulled right out across the strip. laid the bike down and hit him, i walked away from it with some bruises but people are stupid out there.
