Never rode a bike there. Drove the crap out of 15ton and Deuce and half trucks though. I'd have to say with the coral in the roads I'd be careful in the rain like Mike M said, they get slick as snot in the rain. Also watch out for the earth quakes. I drove through a handful of them but couldn't feel it in the big trucks, but a bike could be a different story. I was there in '97 I think and parts of '99, actually was there when my enlistment ended, so I only did 4 months or so of that deployment.
Also was there when Korean flight 801 crashed which was about a week before we were set to fly back to Gulfport, MS. I was on a crew putting up the morge tent while they started bringing in the bodies. So we got to see that devestation and then hop on a 22 hour flight days later.

Now the older ones would have a yearly party for us, I recall going to one of them and it was really cool.

Dan28, about your shipmate getting hit with a beer bottle, he's at a bar, those thing happen at bars, maybe he was mistaken for somebody else, who knows. When I said friendly locals, I meant, friendly local women, Guam has the prettiest Chamoritas
(Chamarro Women). Hafa! Lildee, nice bike!

My fiance' is Chamoru(half anyway).....but I don't think you meant that kind of rider.
I've been with her 3 years, we have talked about visiting, she really wants me to see the island.......but jobs, life, ect keep getting in the way of taking a trip.

Thanks Dan28! Hafa Adai....My bike sure doesn't like to go 35mph and if I was on guam it would probably pull me around the island! hahaha
Nopetrol: It's definitely somewhere you should visit (although exceptionally expensive just to fly there). Kinda funny, noticed you're in nj, my husband is from Jersey.... He really enjoyed the 2 weeks we spent on Guam and if it wasn't for healthcare being wacky on Guam, we would probably move. If she has some "family" there, the hospitality is something you would never experience anywhere else. I have an exceptionally large chamorro family (both my parents are chamorro)....and when we party, it's ISLAND STYLE! - even if that means getting all the cousins together, picking up a bucket of chicken and relaxing at the beach....Island Style means: bbq or beach + beers (and island reggae music)! hahahaha Hope you get to visit soon!
