ʻO ka lole peke makemake aʻu i kēia manawa
Like many people I know, I used to have a semi-serious aversion to lole papales. I'm not sure why really, I just grew up not liking the look of a lole papale or the look of almost anyone that wore a lole papale. All that changed recently, however, when I decided to get a motorcycle.
As much as I had always hated the look of a lole papale, I had still always wanted to get a motorcycle. It seems like a contradiction, and I guess it was. Anyway, the opportunity to buy a used motorcycle recently fell into my lap and I took up the offer. I knew that having a motorcyle would change a lot more than just the way I got to work. It took me only a few days of owning a motorcycle and a few conversations with friends to realize that I really did need a lole papale for my new ride.
I needed a new lole papale they said, not just because every motorcyclist should have one, but also because a lole papale is the safest thing to wear in case of an accident. I got thinking about having an accident on my motorcycle and that was the only form of convincing I needed before I went out and began shopping for a lole papale of my very own. I brought a couple of more experienced friends with me who gave me their opinions of where to find the right lole papale and how to decide what style fit me best.
