Vacation photos (as requested by CC)

Well I was only going to post up the first pic, but since CC wanted to see more, you can thank him if this page takes forever to load. These are from me and the wife's recent trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. We had an awesome time, and if you can make the trip, it's well worth it.

Botanical Gardens north of Hilo:

Akaka falls (400ft high):

And a little dude we met on the way to the falls:

On the way to a secluded beach we had to drive on a "road" through this:

After I hurt my finger in a kayak accident, I did a lot of self medicating at places like this:

And lastly, here's one for the ladies (or lady as we're a sausage heavy group here):

That wasn't water in that bottle, BTW

Nice man, hope you enjoyed it. Hell who am I kidding , how could anyone not enjoy that.

Awesome, im glad you were able to go.
I went to Oahu a few years ago, but its the only island iv seen so far.
I really enjoyed Oahu too.Its a little island, but there is alot to do

Those Botanical gardens north of Hilo are awesome! Definitely going back on my next visit to the big island. Thanks for sharing the pics.

On a related note, I was looking at your first photo (repping the forum) and I realized how much the pic ended up looking like a QR code from a distance. That got me thinking... it would be cool to make stickers with a QR Code of the site's URL. Then when people are admiring our bikes, they could scan the sticker with their phone and it would take them straight here. Just a thought...

That's an AWESOME idea! Plus, I heard about a site where you can put B&W pics in the center of a QR code to whatever site you want. We could make a QR code with the T shirt pic in the center and put those on stickers! How boss would that be?

Where did you kayak? If only you had my cam when you went on the trip and how did you injure yourself kayaking??

We kayaked from the side of Captain Cook Bay that you can't see in this photo, to the side you can see:

There's some really good snorkeling there and it's only accessible by boat or kayak. Then when we were trying to push our kayak off the rocky beach I had the wife get in while I steadied it. Right after she got in and before I could, a wave came and knocked me off my feet (the rocks were super slippery) and the paddle I was holding somehow twisted and caused me to sprain my finger. I thought I broke it, it hurt so bad.

The worst part was there was the hottest chick I saw the whole trip standing about ten feet away from where this occured and she asked if I needed any help. Even thought I wanted to scream and curse, I managed to suck it up and say, "Nope. I'm fine." Damn male ego. When I told my wife (who also asked if I was okay, but I don't get embarrassed around her) that that was the reason I played it off like I wasn't hurt, she was a lot less sympathetic.

Edit: Here's what my hand looked like a couple of days later:

LMFAO THATS AWESOME! You and your wife are epic....Ive done the same thing....mine sucked so bad when it happened....I sprained my ankle once when I was with an ex gf and a few of her friends after a baseball game I was running up to her on a paved surface with my metal cleats and I caught a divit in the pavement. I didnt wanna seem like a puss infront of her or her friends....sprained the ankle and almost ate pavement....I had tears welling up it hurt so bad....but I nutted up and smiled like it was suppose to be funny

I feel your pain.I cant even walk on gravel barefoot.
If you ever go back get in a shark cage..
It was under $100 to do it but I cant remember exactly.
It was definitely one of the more memorable experiences I had there.

And lastly, here's one for the ladies (or lady as we're a sausage heavy group here):

HOTT! I'm totally reposting this for everyone to get to see not once but twice!!
BTW, those shorts are freaking fabulous!!!!!!

Uh, I wasn't there that day. In fact, I wasn't even IN Hawaii at all during your stay there. I think you are mistaken about who you are talking about.

 

[Nastybutler]

Well if I had seen you, then she would have been the second hottest, no question. And thanks for the compliment, although I'm nowhere near your league.
