Whether a participant or, dare I say it, a spectator - enjoy.

Patrolman stopped me for not having the required eye protection
Mid - 80's, Honolulu. Hired a bike for 24 hrs. and in the evening rode into Waikiki for dinner. Immediately stopped and was a bit stroppy, why did you stop me, not speeding, lights on, didn't run a red light etc. ? You're not wearing eye protectors. Eye protectors ? Oh, you mean goggles ? I've been wearing sunglasses during the day, but not now, I can't see at night. Yes, that's OK, we lost the helment battle (not necessary in HNL at that time ) but insisted on eye protectors, Licence ? What's this, a Limey licence ? Yes. Well, if you go up that alley over there you can get back to the hotel without running into any of my colleagues, not too far to walk into town, Goodnight.
