All because of "excessive noise in Honolulu"????? Last I looked, Honolulu wasn't all of Hawai'i.

Waste of time, for all the reasons stated in the article.

Hmm - they a fair share of loud trucks too. I was just there in December, don't really remember too many loud bikes. I am sure there were some. Mind you it was Maui..... awesome place to ride btw.

Two hopes: Bob Hope, and No Hope.

Inconvenient truths being:

1 US fleet personnel are a large bike population.

2 Tourism.

3 Circa 75,000 registered bikes.

The idiot would have a better chance of asking for the regulators to toughen up a bit on noise regulations. Banning bikes - not a shit show!
