Took the family to Hawaii, after a day or two I saw only one rider in full gear.

Damn near everyone is wearing sandals, no helmet and riding sportbikes or HD’s.

Does it vary by island? What state has more squids?

      Having lived, and ridden bikes, in Hawaii, Washington state, and now Texas, it’s a mentality thing. The same type of people who don’t wear gear in Texas are the same that don’t wear gear other places.

        But it’s soo fuckin hot here in TX ☹️

        I always wear at least helmet and gloves, but it’s 50:50 at best when it comes to anything else. I honestly hardly even ride during peak summer anymore.
