How many times have we heard this story...RZR 1000 burns to the ground (had a gas can in the back)..

I'll be over on the edge as normal. May have gold shorts to sell model included?

Guys, you really should think before you speak as you are messing with people's safety. There have been almost a dozen 1000 fires, check the rzr forums. There is some major defect in the 1000. I am sure those of you who have one are in denial. But for safety reason you should verify before you say something you know nothing about. The fire started from the rzr fuel tank. The gas can in the back was still intact and only burned after a few minutes of the car melting down. This is from the first hand witnesses. So for those that are driving the 1000 be careful. Do you home work. There was 2 at Dumont last weekend. 3+ at Glamis in the last couple weeks. 1 back east. 1 at Apex and that was only after 15 minutes of searching the web. There are numerous videos and images on Google as well. Thankfully I could find no loss of life yet only burn victims.

I think it was Halloween morning, I found a camelback with personal items inside near bathroom 12. Credit cards, money, ID, and other important stuff inside. I turned it in to the Sheriff at the ranger station.

Whoops...

Killer view from comp yesterday.

Riding mid day with the sun at your back with relatively smooth dunes will get you in trouble as there's no contrast (shadows) and you can launch off a dune without ever seeing it. Check it out next time mid day, face your shadow and look a hundred yards out the sand looks all the same light color, then look 90 deg left or right and you'll see light and dark texture, tire tracks and hi / lo spots. You might be surprised. Better to always be turning and following ridges as they seldom abruptly end and cross over going downhill, you can see way more of the other side than going uphill, gravity assists you downhill and uphill, as an example, as soon as your right front tire goes over the ridge (razor) your left rear unweights and the rear of the quad, and to a lesser extent rail, will want to slide out. Personally, being a quad and bike rider mostly I feel safer at night, I can tell if a rail is coming up the other side by their lights, daytime I haven't a clue till I see a flag, if it's not on a soft springy pole.
