Be Honest, who drinks and rides

It's been a while since I drank, but I can't imagine one on of anything on a full stomach over an hour or so is gonna hurt your reaction time very much. I think none is better for riding, but one shouldn't be all that bad. No one knows better than you

I may sound like a sissy, but nothing tastes as good to me on a hot ride as a Dairy Queen blizzard or cone... and I'll take coffee or hot chocolate on a cold ride.

Nope , and when I did I always managed to fall down . That was a very long time ago .

.

Ditto on that. And it's been a long time since I worried if someone thought I was a sissy. I do ride a 360 after all

No way. No drink and drive, no drink and ride.

I'm not too worried about killing myself, but I'd hate to hurt someone else.

I have been in arguments with people because I won't drink and ride or drive.

On a hot day like the ones we've been having, iced tea or a frappucinno is quite refreshing.

My sentiments exactly, I dont drink and a cold pepsi is the way to go.

The way i see it, i'd rather be able to drink lots of delicious pepsi than a little alcohol... wait.. any alcohol at all, i guess i just dont see the fun in not having all my motor functions up to snuff...

How can you be a sissy for riding those bikes, thats old tech that I am too scared to ride now. I could not do without my engine management system, latest tyre tech and ABS brakes. Could be we are the sissies. Glad to see most of the guys do not drink and drive though, I think this is a major factor in road deaths. We should get a law passed that say's that all cage drivers that drive home drunk must have a guy with flag walking in front of him like in the old days, maybe gsjack remembers that.

A person would have to be a complete idiot to ride intoxicated. The factors are just too dangerous even when sober. Why compound an already risky situation.

That being said plenty of people hop on their bikes after ingesting *ahem* intoxicating substances. Some never make it home and some survive to do it again. I think its unlikely a biker could kill someone in a car; probably a pedestrian and most definately themselves.

Pure folly. How selfish.
