What grade of gas do you put in your ST?

91 or 93, which ever is available. But I try to use 93.

The base has closed and VP-17 was moved to Kaneohe MCAS hangers across the island. The H-1 still is the main highway, but Hawaii is the only state without a 65mph speed limit. Most highway speeds run from 45 to 50 mph only. There is a five mile 60 mph stretch only near the old base.. I would commute f33 miles each way from Hawaii Kai on the east side to Kapolei (by the old Barbers Pt base a lot and cruise at the higher speeds and get 25 mph with the ST. I had my two Shelby Mustangs out there for restoration but they are home now. The area is built up immensely since you left. Come back and visit sometime. Forget high speeds. The crack down on high speed runs in intense as we have lost too many late night rocket runners, especially two wheelers on the highways. It is better to cruise to enjoy the views and save our zooming for mainland visits.

Very profound what you are saying. In my former life, I was the 20 year old kid Aircrewman who had already been to Viet Nam, I was invincible, or at least I told myself I was. God was with us during those "after dinner" cruises down the H-1. Over 50 years later, I know, for a fact, your body does NOT heal quite as fast as it previously did. I also know what it's like to be a victim and get killed in a car accident; the recovery takes years and you never get back to 100% you. The rest of that conversation we'll save for a later day. I appreciate the offer to meet up on Oahu, that would be fun sometime.

In the Navy, this particular technique was referred to as having an "Oklahoma Credit Card". You never traveled anywhere without that 6' long piece of garden hose.
