Author Topic: B.O.X.N.I.F.E. needs our help (Read 76324 times)

I just found out today that our own Trevor Ware (aka B.O.X.N.I.F.E. on SOHC/4) was the victim in a serious drunk driver hit and run a few days ago. Riding in his hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas, he was pummeled by a car who never even stopped, dragging his poor CB550 beneath his car until it broke away. I am furious and heartbroken. Trevor is a great contributor to our SOHC/4 community and an inspiration for many, including myself. I envy what he has been able to do and what he is yet to accomplish. He is currently in a coma, expected to last for weeks.

Please read more and see the local news clip, here:

This is why I love this guy:

Trevor and his family will need support. I am stepping up.

Damn, that is #$%*ty to hear.
Sounds like his run in has a checkered driving history.

Let's hope he pulls through.

I can't believe it, either. This guy is out, free, while Trevor is laid up, unconscious and in the fight of his life.

I don't really know what to say. I've been showing his video to everyone I know that's into bikes. I really hope he's ok.

Is there a plan in place to help, or some way we can help?

I know his family will appreciate donations. They have a goal of $10,000. I don't know if that will be enough. My girlfriend and I are designers (she's a graphic designer, I'm an architect). She is designing an graphic to market as a t-shirt design. It will be available for purchase by tomorrow. All proceeds will go to Trevor's family to help him on his road to recovery. I will post up the link as soon as it's ready. And I will be the first to buy one. OK, I'm actually buying two. I hope you will pass this along to everyone who can help out.

Tragic news about a terrific guy.
Sorry to hear it.
Hey well soon Trevor.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #10 on:** September 10, 2012, 12:03:27 am »

Maybe someone can sort out a paypal address for donations from the forum..

LesterPiglet · « **Reply #11 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:55:27 am »

Get well soon Trevor. My thoughts are with you, your family and friends.

I watched the news footage and wondered why, at the very end of the "suspects" rap sheet there was a picture of a guy with the word "manslaughter"?

fastbroshi · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2012, 03:32:45 am »

Sorry to hear this. Let's all buy some swag, good conversation starter.

the architect · « **Reply #13 on:** September 10, 2012, 07:24:25 am »

I will have the shirts up later today. The graphic turned out really nice - I can't wait to share it with everyone.

In the meantime, if you want to donate directly, please visit:

Is there a way to donate so I could use paypal or some other secure methos of paying?
I have never heard of this ribbon website and hesitate to give such a website card information.

srbakker · « **Reply #15 on:** September 10, 2012, 09:06:52 am »

Can someone (in the States) set up a PayPal account we could use?

It's the medical fund donation campaign established by Trevor's family. I believe it to be honest and stable. I donated there, myself, this morning.

The shirt looks good, but Zazzle.com is taking up to 24 hours to finalize the availability.

the architect · « **Reply #18 on:** September 10, 2012, 12:38:08 pm »

The shirts will be available once Zazzle has finished processing.

Please consider buying a shirt. All money generated goes straight to Trevor's recovery fund. And you can show support for our friend every time you wear it.

Thanks for making us aware. Great job with the shirt.

Thanks! I ordered two last night. I am still in disbelief over the audacity of the driver to not even stop.
