That's exactly right. We lived in Hawaii and California for a while. I never had a Valkyrie till we moved back to Texas, but I learned to ride in Hawaii, and really cut my "rider's teeth" on the freeways of Los Angeles.
You know you're taking the beginner's riding course in Hawaii when they have a section devoted to how to handle seeing papaya splattered in the road in front of you.
