It was a blissful (and action-packed) week for me and my family as we vacationed on the beautiful island of Maui.
Even though it was a vacation, I couldn’t resist taking some time to get to know some of the people in the welding industry who live and work right here on this island!
The first stop on our tour was the South Maui Choppers. They had some cool Arlen Ness choppers available for rent, but they were a bit too bright and shiny for my taste.
After that we cruised on over to Cycle City to look at some of the new Harley-Davidsons. My wife decided that I should get the new Deluxe Model – scarlet red and black with silver trim.
The next day I decided to go check out the Maui Motor Speedway. They had MX races on Saturday night and practice on Wednesday.
I was hoping someone would have a rental available for some track time (I have been eying the new 2010 YZ25), but unfortunately, they didn’t have one available.
Our last stop of the week was at South Maui Bicycles. I wanted to get the low-down on the new Gary Fisher Rumblefish 29er mountain bike.
I was surprised to learn from the owners that there is not much mountain biking on Maui – it seems that the majority of the land is private property! They do rent out the bikes, but you have to ride them on the road.
You can’t really call that “mountain” biking, now can you?
To top it off, this is the unbelievable view that we got to wake up to every morning – the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean, with, if you can believe it – the world famous Molokini crater right there in the background.
And although we all had a fantastic time soakin’ up the sun and the aloha spirit, it was just as awesome to get back into the swing of things and see how smooth things are running here at Arc-Zone!
Lots to be thankful for as we start the holiday season.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful thanksgiving…
