Saw a yellow 748/916/996/998 town bound on the H1 just a bit ago as I was heading home.

White (almost silver looking) 1198 heading west on Dillingham near Dee Lite bakery this afternoon...

These outlaws were seen over the weekend.   [evil]



and lined up:

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

One of these bikers doesn't fit, one of these bikers is not like the others...  <where is the musical smiley when you need it>

Yea, especially the way he takes the opposing lane when riding Tantalus.   [roll]

New jacket, Ben-ben?  Or am I just that out of the loop?

Maybe that R1 is just a bear in those hairpins if you try to stay inside the yellow and try to be quick at the same time? Personally, I'll give up the tire slide and possible confrontation with the oncoming to stay on my side even if it means I'm slower. It just gives me an opportunity to polish technique.

I had wondered about that.  Thing is, he always dives into the opposing lane before entering the turn, so quite intentional.  As much as I hope it never happens, I keep waiting for him to meet a car head on when he does that...

Don't really think he has a death wish, just no concept of riding etiquette.  This is the same guy that has twice now dived in front of me on the Ewa off ramp just to jump on his brakes mid turn.

Older?  Define older.  Asian?  Define Asian.  ;)

Saw a guy on an MV F4 (black and white) while out riding today with Rick. Riding Aloha...   [roll]

Remember that guy from New Year's Day?

He brought his 2001 M5 into the shop today for an oil change. I picked up on this because his car key was on a MV Augusta neck hanger key thing and because he lives on Kaneohe Bay Drive. I asked him if remembered a couple of Ducati's riding beside him a while ago on H3 and he said he did.

Seems like a pretty good guy and he does have gear, Dainese, etc. but will admit to not wearing it all the time. The bike is an F4 R 312. He might come out on the Sunday ride.
