I figured that I better sell this bike before it gets me in trouble. I put it up for sale or trade. We meet up to check out each other's rides. I also had to attempt a few stupid stoppies before I sell it. How could I pass that up?
Warning - This video has little or no commentary. It's just another scenic cruise video. I ride up Waimea Canyon for the second time. The second time is a lot more fun, since there are fewer cars, and I'm familiar with the road (and bike) now.

I've been wanting a second shot at Waimea Canyon Road from the other direction. This was my last day here, and I had only a few hours left, so I set out to find the road. My effort was rewarded.

Thank you!
If you've been to Kauai, this will be a familiar lookout. This is located next to Princeville. I remember when I pulled over, there were no buildings. Yeah, it was a long time ago.
There's an awesome lagoon that I've been trying to get a look at, but I don't get a full view. :( The rest of the ride becomes a cruise wtih no comments.
A nice Texan lady runs the last store at the North Shore. This is located in Haena, Kauai. If you've been to Kauai's North Shore, you may have stopped over.
Warning - This video has little or no commentary. It's just another scenic cruise video. Sorry for the dirty visor. This is the end of the highway in Haena. I could go no further, so I make a turn and head back. That's the main highway, and no more.

In a smaller community, everybody knows everybody. I learned of a few interesting things about how some guy go about the dating scene in Hawaii. I suppose if there are a lot more single guys than girls, it's a lot tougher finding a match.
I noticed I sounded a lot happier while compiling this video. Maybe it was because I found my hostel. Maybe it was because of the food. I was sure a lot less stressed out.
I've had my fun, but now it's time to find my hostel before dark. I start to worry because it becomes a lot tougher to find places when the sun goes down.
The sun is going down, and the place is empty. I can see why. Driving up there can be really dangerous at night. We also see an amazing SV650 rider with some great skills.
Okay, that was the summit, and it's time to turn around and head down.
Just for the hell of it, you should try out the Spartanizer...

Yes, we're finally here at this famous lookout. It's a clear day with no clouds obscuring the view. Typically, when the sun comes out, the humidity changes and the fog and clouds vaporize.
Yo yo yo A-pa-pa-ne! (Himatione sanguinea). Search for Apapane on Flickr to get a good image of this bird. I can't use someone else's pics, but it's worth looking up. They're dazzling red birds.
Let us remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and what he stood for. Equality is what he dreamed of, and we have every reason to be happy for what we have today.
My new friend Sheldon leads me to Kokee State Park Campground. I was very tired and didn't get enough sleep, so I decided to rest. I didn't want to leave this place after taking a nap here.
Sheldon turns out to be a really nice guy and a great rider. He leads the way up Waimea Canyon. My lowered Hayabusa had trouble keeping up with his nimble Suzuki GSXR750. No commentary in this video.
