Maui 2009 Trip

Roads in Maui, HI

Checkout all pictures from our Maui trip

Maui has awesome roads for bikers:

 

 

Kahakula - Honoapillani Hwy

Hwy 36 - Road to Hana

Crater Rd

 Hwy 377 Halea kala Hwy


hwy 31 Piilani Hwy  


In 2006 Tra and I went for the first time to Maui together. We rented a Fat Boy and took the "Road to Hana". That was on Memorial Day, too many freaking cars, it rained quite a bit and at the end the Harley broke down and couldn't make it up the crater that day.

 

Fast forward 3 years later: our friends Todd and Katarina decided to get married on Maui - sweet. 85 degrees weather ever day, no more than 5 minutes of light rain - great. Renting a 2008 blue Harley Road King - freaking awesome!!!

On the first afternoon we took off on a trip around the north coast on the Honoapillani Hwy (don't ask me how to pronounce that name ...). Not a lot of people take that road because it's one lane for a good stretch and dangerous because it has no guard rails and steep drops. That didn't stop us from a little adventure Cool

The next day I took the road to Hana by myself, Tra had to prepare for the wedding. There was not a lot of traffic and no rain, just awesome. I wanted to take a loop all around the island but unfortunatelly the road was closed south of Hana for a bridge repair. Same twisty road back, not bad either Wink

Saturday was the day of the wedding and we didn't ride. Sunday we rode up to the crater. That was freaking amazing. The road was like a race track for a good part. The top is more than 10,000ft high and it feels like you are riding in the clouds.

We didn't ride on the south of the island on Hwy 31 this time. But we did 3 years ago, it's a cool road too riding through the lava fields. It's a popular road for Sport bike riders.

We still have some video to edit and upload, including videos of the "blow hole" - stay tuned.
