You might not expect to see a lot of bikers from the state of Hawaii, but there are some who come over to the mainland U.S. and bring their bikes. These bikers from the islands certainly want to show off their loyalty to their home state, so many wear Hawaii Patches on their sleeves. These State Rockers feature the state name on an arched patch that's designed to fit perfectly on the sleeve, although it also works nicely on the front of a vest or jacket.
Hawaii, the Aloha State, is the most recent of the 50 United States. It officially became a state on August 21, 1959. The state is made up of almost the whole Hawaiian Island chain and is the only state to be made up of islands. There are hundreds of small islands in the chain, but the eight main islands include Kaua'i, Kaho'olawe, Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i, O'ahu, Ni'ihau, and Hawai'i, which is usually called the Big Island so as to differentiate it from the state. The capital city of Hawaii is Honolulu, which is located on O?ahu.
The state features a number of active volcanoes, a warm tropical climate, and many gorgeous beaches. It's a very popular tourist destination, especially for those who love to swim, play on the beach, and surf. While the state is home to over a million permanent residents, it is still the 11th least populous of the 50 states.
Hawaii has its own very unique culture and people. Over the years, the native culture has mixed with a number of other cultures as Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans, Chinese, and many others have moved to the state. Hawaii is one of two majority-minority states, which means that non-Hispanic whites are not the majority. The other state where this is true is New Mexico.
