Fire STORY! We went fourwheelin today...there were 7 of us....we went to alleghany....first trail....i got all off camber and it was cool....lifting tires in air...etc...kinda got real tipsy....on way up...rest was cool...on way down...i always take the "hardcore" lines....i kinda hit a tree...i was way up on my side...headlights stacked....like....on top of each other...tried to back off tree...totally ripped my awesome Soft Top!! Ugh...no biggie...i'll get it resewn at a boat top place....So then on the rest of the way down...i showed off...i was so on the edge of tipping over...it was awesome....my top two tires were barely staying on the ground....went a LONG ass way down....up w/the lights stacked....they were all like "wow" ...

So...i put my windsheild down...to keep from whacking it or breaking it....so its like tied down to the hood w/this strap...like used in camping...on backpacks...we go to next trail...a little play area w/a couple hill climbs...etc....i made this one hill that NOBODY ever made before...it was AWESOME...then i kinda made a new trail...it was there..but never utilized...come around...to this hill climb...which like...i told myself i wouldn't do....last time it took 2hubs...i broke em both! haha...so anyway...i couldn't look it down and not do it...so i gave it like 3 shots...on 3rd shot...i rolled back down it...still in gear...motor was going in reverse...a big "POOF" and a TON of white steam looking shit shoots out of the grill...then a big "POP" HUGE FLAMES!!! Flames shoot inside my cab and engulf me...i reached for the seat belt release....and it took a few pressed to release...i dove out...hit the ground got up...ran to the back and grabbed my fire extinguisher....now...striker/cc and this other dude "glenn" are running over w/extinguishers too...well i go to open the hood...and i have to unhook the windsheid strap...so i undid that...when i pulled the hood open...it ignited again....a backdraft started pulling oxygen in....pulling the hood closed! I pushed it really hard...and got it open...by now they have emptied 2 extinguishers on my MOTOR!!! I'm like "Oh MY GOD!" haha....i sat while it smoked away...

*SIGH* the fire luckily didn't trash any wiring....it took out $50 worth of performance air cleaners....and charred the carb....left a kickass char mark on the inside of the hood....scorched my seat...burned the hair on my hand/arm/eyelids...my eyelids are annoying...cuz of the burn/curl of em...its like freaking velcro! ugh...hehe....

The seat has a cool scorch mark....heh....wheeled the rest of the day...had a great time...and then on last trail....i RAN OUT OF GAS!! LMAO!! so then cc "dave" had to tow me up through the trail...and it was kinda a bitch....took a while...and his motor got really warm....at the top...some of the guys had gas for me...heh...we split off on last trail...none of us had fuel...the others did... :-)

so today was a total....rad day.....
