Took the family to Hawaii, after a day or two I saw only one rider in full gear.

Damn near everyone is wearing sandals, no helmet and riding sportbikes or HD’s.

Does it vary by island? What state has more squids?

    I remember the first and only time I tried riding my sportbike without a helmet to see what all the fuss was about, I got a big fat bug right in the cheek and it slid up into my eye under my sunglasses.

    I never did it again, and twenty two years later, I’m still ATGATT on my cruiser. There’s no point IMO taking a risk with your life, mental faculties, or skin. Especially if you have kids, which I now have.

    To each their own, though.

      With the added bonus of it sounding like your bike is broken due to all the new sounds you can hear as the bike functions. Am I the only one?
