Aloha from the land of.. aloha.
Got my '11 in green and black about 2 months ago from the Kawi dealer and have put nearly 4000 miles on it so far. Have had an incredible time, despite the lack of fun roads, roads in decent repair, and the tininess of the island :P
Although this is my first bike, I ended up buying new because I got a great deal. I know everyone is supposed to drop their first bike, but so far so good. Anyway, riding on Oahu isn't that bad. Some of the coastal roads have spectacular views, but other than that it's just like riding in any other city :/

Hahaha I find every reason to ride. Not only do I use it to commute back and forth to class, but I'll go out riding for hours on the weekends.

Rus: I just got my bike in working order last night and took some pics from my ride today :>
Gorilla: I live in Mililani. Nick: It's not too bad. There's not much to do outside of the beach, but it's still pretty fun. Everything's too expensive though :/ Everyone else: Thanks for the welcome

A gallon of milk at the commissary costs like $5, no idea about OJ, and 87 oct is hovering around $3.95-4.10.

Where are you paying $8 for milk?? Also, comparing cost of living with milk isn't very accurate. I've lived in both NYC and Hawaii and it definitely is more expensive to live in Hawaii. Here's a quick google result:
http://www.costoflivingbystate.org/c...-by-state.html Hawaii ranks highest in cost of living, housing, and cost of food in 2008. Here's a 2011 study: http://www.missourieconomy.org/indic...ving/index.stm Hawaii's gas prices was craaazy too! I'm a sucker for nice weather though. |

Welcome to Frankfort, NY. Why do people live in places where it costs so much to "live".

All year sunny weather (which equates to all year riding), beaches, night life, etc. Areas that have higher costs of living generally have higher demand because of its benefits. Can you take a pic of milk costing $8? I can't imagine it being that high yet. I was new York last month and it was only around $4.
Mountain Dew, can you send me some poke |

Welcome! 4,000 miles already. How many times have you hit every road on the island?
