It had to happen eventually,while racing through the trails at the oregon dunes last week I went head on with a honda three wheeler going around one of many blind corners.I was going about 30-35 mph around a blind left hander when all of the sudden wappo.Not sure if I grabbed the brakes or not it happened so fast.No major injuries to the drivers but the three wheelers forks were pushed in about 2-3 inches.The front bumper I purchased from atvr did its job,it collapsed saving everything behind it not to mention it really cusioned the blow.I honestly believe it would have been alot worse with just a stock bumper.

Glad nobody got hurt, have any pics?

The ATVR front bumper holds up pretty good, years ago Kiowa and a quad tried to share the same space at Silver Lake here are the pics http://pilotodyssey.com/sl99-2.htm

I can also attest to the design of the ATVR front bumper. I recently had a run-in with a decent size tree. The right side of the bumper bent all the way back until it was touching the fender and absorbed practically all of the impact.

Two thumbs up!
