Aloha from Kona! I lived on the Hilo side for two months before feeling like a drowned rat and moving to the "sunny side of the street". We hear that you are getting particularly wet these days....hang in there!
I also ride (motorcycles), and I'd love to collaborate with you on video stuff (used to be a professional producer and host, but I have crappy equipment now).
Let me know if you make it over to the Kona side - I'll show you around!
