Man that's messed up, sorry to hear about that. Thanks for the warning.

Wow, that's too bad. I like spongin' at Sandy's when I go to Oahu.

Wow, sorry to hear about that. Hopefully you're all ok.

I don't mean to sound like some kind of shrink or anything but I'd recommend reading this book - "Drive to Survive" on Amazon.com. It's essentially a defensive driving book taught by an ex-marine from Vietnam or something like that. It talks about situational awareness and being aware of what's going on around you - not just in driving but in everyday/every part of life - walking, biking, going to your car in the parking lot, etc.

It uses a color-coding situational awareness scheme to identify threat levels. Code White - is being oblivious - "This car came from out of nowhere and hit me!" is what most people say when they get in an accident. Code Yellow is being relaxed but aware. Code Orange is a specific threat (e.g., someone cutting you off, etc.) and Code Red is imminent danger (impending carjacking, etc.).

A few months ago me and a friend were in Chicago for a tradeshow. We were in our suits driving around in a Chrysler 300 when we took a wrong turn and went underground beneath the freeway at around midnight, trying to get back to our hotel. At the red light, we were first approached by a guy on the sidewalk who my friend, who was driving, thought needed help. We immediately got surrounded by a bunch of hoodlums (who were behind the freeway pillars) asking for money. I told my friend to run the red light and jam it, but he wanted to reason with the guys and tell them we had no money. (Yeah, two guys in suits and driving a 300 with no money.) After I kept jabbing my friend in the elbow to gas it and run the red light to get the hell out of there, he eventually did. Things could've gotten real ugly real fast. If I had read this book before that we would've done things way differently.

The book talks about situational awareness in driving and in everyday life. I highly recommend this book. You should seriously consider getting something like this. Who knows? It could one day save your life.

Dam that sucks. Glad HPD came before anyone got seriously hurt. I can't believe they didn't try to start a real investigation to find these idiots.

Damn mokes can only mob. Glad to hear you ok.

Holy ****... glad you all came out with no major damage. down by the UH pier they have a big bunch of guys who drink/smoke out and don't really give a **** about other people, maybe it's the same group of guys. They were there on Friday a couple of weeks ago till midnight because that's when the pier is open late. We stopped fishing there because of those drunktards and we kept losing our sinkers.

damn...das messed yo. guess i better pack my pepper spray in my moped. ...nah, but my moped sux. they wouldn't give a rip.

i know HPD is only good giving tickets!!

carry pepper spray and call 911 dude!

thanks for da warning!

i'll go an read that book

OHHH S***. i go stop by der too with my friends at night when we cruise with our bikes. dang mang. thanx for this info.

guys had helmets and motorcycle gloves and you could not punch the crap out of them drunk idiots?

Shame.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and let you go on that as you assumed that we had our gloves and helmets on at the time because, we didnt.

We were there on a bathroom break from the riding. It's not like we just got there and the guys started assaulting us. It was right before we went back to our bikes is when it started.

Too quick to draw only to shoot yourself on the foot.

Damn, glad to see that you guys left with only minor injuries and nothing major. I'm definitely going to start riding with some pepper spray or something now.

wow I been there many times around 12 and later fishing, kickin wit a chick and what not... even saw and all out sponger ripin it up at like 9 at night. Never had anything happen to me?

Good think I pack a USP, .45 Hollow tip.
