No way would I ride again with all these tourists wandering about, instagramming, texting, and whatever. Lived through one old geezer turning in front of me and hitting him at 55. Have enough trouble with all the rentals driving a truck that they know will do damage.
Saw over a decade ago that Hawaii was riding for only those young, immortals.
