My dream of moving to Waikiki finally became a reality this year. Oahu is a magical place and everyone who comes here feels that magic. But one part of living in Waikiki is an actual nightmare: sleep.
A group of mostly motorcyclists, with exhaust modifications made to make their bikes loud, torment the streets of Waikiki in the middle of the night. Their sounds reverberate from the buildings, waking up thousands of people every night.
Do you know what happens to people when they don’t sleep? Think about the repercussions of these bikers’ sick need to be loud.
These people need to be stopped. I’m eagerly awaiting the sound-detecting cameras that are supposed to be installed, but in the meantime, one police officer writing them tickets could make a difference in thousand of lives. Honolulu police, please help.
