Where do you live at in Hawaii, I lived in Honolulu for about a year back about 20 years ago.

I'm living in Hilo on the Big Island for the next couple years. I may or may not spend a year in Honolulu, but the cost of living there is frightening. |

Re: Start riding without MSF or not ride?
I did a search of 'hawaii motorcycle course' and found the motorcycle course is held on the big island at the Hawaii Community College.

Re: Start riding without MSF or not ride?
Probably should have mentioned it in my original post-
I've already contacted the C/c and according to them, the information is dated and there hasn't been a class on the island for 'a couple of years'. |

My baby is at the motorcycle hospital gettin' an estimate to be made all shiny and new again. I had mixed feelings about bothering with it as I expect it will not be long before I scratch it up again. But at least someone will check out the innards and make sure it's all cosmetic damage. The adjuster came out to the house yesterday and the guy that nearly killed me didn't change his story so my claim is pretty cut and dried. Watch out for guys parked in trucks facing the wrong direction on the left side of the road! They can shoot across the pavement when you least expect it. I don't know the Hawaiian islands that well (I've never been!) but was pretty sure you gotta fly between them and I figured that's what Harlech was talking about when he mentioned planes, hotels and rental cars. Unless he's a really good swimmer.

I found a link that showed there was the course being held on the island. Then the poster informed me the link is no longer current.

Well of course. ...................At least it was only the bike that was wounded. The KLR was a bit more crash proof before it was updated with all the shiney plastic a couple years ago. That said I am sure the aftermarket has a lot of crash proofing items for the new model. |

Re: Start riding without MSF or not ride?
Stoopid shiny plastic. Does seem a bit inappropriate for the mission. Kind of like leather seats in a station wagon.
