a motorcycle is the only way to travel on the big island. those cars
are nothing more than moving chicanes. Saddle Road on the Hilo side
has manicured grass on either side of the hwy that is so green and
smooth it's surreal. it looks like astro turf installed in a middle
east MotoGP/F1 track for runoff.

I'd get an R1200GS or something similar, a big DP bike.

Wait, I've already got an R1200GS. Time to move!!!!
