I think it's from DK. OP posted about having to lengthen wires to headlight, not sure if he got it done.

Great shot, I on the other hand rode my ride to churc h yesterday and it was 41 degrees going and 55 coming home. The ride home felt like summer by comparison. One thing I noticed going is that engine, "hunts"/surges a little at cruise. I have about convinced myself that one of DK's enrichening devices, the mildest one, would make it cruise nice when it's 41 out. It did not do that on the ride home. Do they come in green?

I wouldn't have to own a cage if I lived in Hawaii. I will occasionally ride sub 60F but I don't enjoy it when doing long rides. Went for a 60 mile ride today at 55F. I ride without a shield and I was not liking it .. If I need to use heated gear or a fairing to be comfortable on my bike i'll drive my Jeep.. Great Photo!

Mr. Hui, it's been a while. Well, 10 months to be exact. I've been missing Hawaii since the day I got on the plane home.

That was a great ride around the island. I liked the windward side, especially when it's not so windy and drippy.

...sorry, I tried but just couldn't resist...... Lord forgive me.

Here you go.... seriously:



Personally, i thought the photo was outstanding. I dabble in photography and use Photoshop at work all day long!!!! photo was very well done, excellent framing and exposure...


... a little drama added...



Ok, no more...

I agree. i always enjoy rides above 60 degrees and will ride in colder weather but my old bones and joints don't much enjoy it.

Nice ride KHui. I miss home and I know exactly where you took that pic, although I haven't been there in quite awhile. Spent a lot of time at Waialua Bay growing up.
