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?

Oklahoma seems to have a lot. Especially cruiser riders. Almost nobody wears more than a helmet.

Florida and Ohio, people cruising at 70 with no helmet. Can't imagine the bugs and deafness.

I have long argued that a full-face helmet can prevent an accident. Ever since I was hit across the visor on the highway by what I think was a sparrow. Would have been a lot worse if it had juat hit me in the face.
