Those are three things you won’t find very easily here, but what a catchy title?!  I finally got my bike registered and Bonny and I have been out on a few cruises since.  She can be seen below at Black Sands Beach, throwing up the “22’s”.  Don’t worry, she’s not an active gang member (yet), 22 is her family number so this ones for the Bradburns.  We hope you enjoy it.  On that same note, the featured image is of an “Acid Blue Cigar”, the same brand and flavor that Tom Bradburn was kind enough to supply us at our wedding.  I’ve never liked cigarettes or chew but I’ve always been oddly attracted to cigars, almost like they could add a touch of class to ones self.  I’ve enjoyed trying different cigars in various places, usually on vacation in Las Vegas or some place like that.  I noticed these ones were on sale the other day and the same kind we had at the wedding so I picked a few up.  I don’t inhale the things but I think I’m hooked.  “Acid” brand comes in several different colors, each denoting a different flavor, and as stupid as it sounds, I really like the featured image on them.  The Blues are by far the best I’ve tried, the only other one I’ve tried is the green.  According to their website, the Blue is the most popular and I can see why, they really do taste and smell amazing.  My wife likes it when I smoke them too, I think it reminds her of her father and home.  So a big thank you goes out to Tom Bradburn for introducing these tasty little treats to my pallet.  Your experience with quality cigars has allowed to me skip a lot of trial and error and just go straight to the good stuff.

 These next few pictures are from a different day when I went out on a ride with my buddy Dale, he’s the long hair in the back ground. The pictures were taken at 9,200 feet above sea level at the observatory on Mona Kea.  Dale is a really cool guy and lots of fun to ride with, kind of reminds me of riding with my father.  Dale has lived here since the late 70’s and has introduced me to lots of local people and things that I would’ve other wise been excluded from.  He’s not afraid to run his machine up well over 100 mph so it’s no surprise that we get along great.  He rides a 2009 Suzuki 650, more of the cafe style then the street bike model but it still moves along just fine.  After our ride last Sunday, Dale told me he should’ve bought a GSXR (my same bike).  Maybe he noticed that mine was just a little faster then his.  The pictures really don’t do any justice for the view and their was a lot of Vog blowing in from the Volcano but you get the idea.  When you come here you can see it for yourself, truly breathtaking.
