They don't "fess up" because they are wise enough to not want to infulence even one tea-toatler into thinking it's alright to drink and ride.

 

Nope, it's not allright to drink and ride, but I have. I got so drunk one time that I threw up while riding the bike home. Yep, ive been stumbling drunk, cant stand on my own, dont know where I'm at drunk and have ridden the bike home.

 

Dude, are you kidding? one German beer is like 3 miller lights!! Yes, I wouldn't even drive a car let alone a bike. Whenever I decide to drink, I drink till I get drunk and either crash @ friend's house or get a motel near by in walking distance. I'd been doing that for just about 10 years now. No reason to risk your life or someone else's. I can't drink comfortably knowing that I have to ride or drive.

 

Kajo's got a good point...I 'd rather you run into me on a bike fer sure.
And it takes all your senses operating any machine, anywhere.

My hipocracy knows no bounds though, I have been known to have a beer or two during a ride. In my own defense, 255lbs holds it a little better than 160lbs or so.
I have rode several times with people that will suck down a few beers before a ride, 2 at every stop (and we stop quite often, 60/70 miles or so) and finish off at the bar, then ride home at 11:00 pm.
No more...

 

One beer is my limit, and that's not the good German stuff, just our 3.2 piss.

 

I enjoy a few drinks on the weekend. If I had two and it has been an hour, than I'll drive a car, but never on a motorcycle. It requires too much balance.

 

Megawatt told me about this thread last night when we were out bar hopping. BWWAAAHHHHAAAAA!!!

 

I'm guilty of having a drink(s) and riding home. I know my limit, if I was blasted or something to that, I'd sleep in the yard.

 

Due to recent events I have changed my policy on drinking and riding.

I feel comfortable with 2 or 3. Its important to have a limit and stick to it.

 

yo

I hit a couple of bars here and there but they all know me and know what I drink , they don't ask
and I don't have to tell them they just set a Diet Coke out there for me and keep it filled that's all I need if I drink anything but d c or water I stay at home cant risk a chance of stupidity can cost a life and it might not be yours...

Hmmm.....What if it throws a leg over you? Then what? Ha Ha!!

fireblade1 has a good point...

I agree with camel. A man ,or woman has to know thier limitations.

 

If that happens Fireblade I may need a six pack!!!!

 

One beer only when driving a car (a Pint of the finest English Ale of course) but zippo when on the bike, I need my wits about me when riding, too many loons out there in cars!

 

I have a couple beers everynow and then, but I don't get trashed. I would go to AA, but I'm not a quitter.

 

I dont drink and ride. The courts are too full of idiots round here who get done for 'driving/riding under the influnce'. Besides I usually have a pillion (the other half) so I would never risk it. Mind you I still get wrecked on a Friday or Saturday night when we go to rallies etc and are there for the weekend.

 

In my opinion...if you are smart..one drink while you are on a bike is to much. That being said... I limit myself to one beer while I'm riding... I'm not all that smart.

 

Well, I follow the simple drinking rule. If I have one drink - I don't ride for 1 hour, 2 drinks - don't ride for 2 hours. It takes (generally) an hour to metabolize a drink (IE 1 beer, or one mixed drink containing one shot). SO, on dart night every Thursday, I get there just before 6pm, slam 2 bourbon and 7's, and then drink milk for the rest of the evening - ensuring I leave AFTER 8 pm. (The Harley guys love to razz me about the milk!) It's really not rocket science... I can eat my cake and have it too...

 

Iced tea for me. Motorcyclist/Cycle World did a great article on drinking driving and its effects on skill level. That 'one to calm the nerves' actually worked with one of the riders (a racer) but not with the other testers. I just responded to a wreck in which an 18 year old female (under the influence of something) turned her Civic, with 4 young passengers, around in front of a Tahoe doing 50-60. One passenger died. What a tragedy.

 

I'm waiting for the forum member sixpakaday to respond to this.

 

Not me..never.

 

I follow the one drink per two hour rule, the way I see it if I have a drink at 7pm here in Vegas then it is 9pm central time. /emoticons/emotion-1.gif-
