Sorry, but I agree with the manager. Bikes don;t belong in drive-ups, especially when there is only 1 lane like at fast food joints. Yeah, speaking your order is quick enough, but get up to the pay window and you gotta lean over, dig out your money, dig the change back into a pocket. Then you gotta waddle up to the next window, stand-up to take your order, find a place to put it, secure it, sit back down, adjust, then ride off. JMHO sorry
Using that logic, we shouldn't have to cough up an money at turnpike/toll-booth gates either.

Completely different. Fast food window is a "Want", tool bothes are "Needs". You NEED to stop at tool bothes, you WANT to get food. Here in Chicago, when I did have to go through tolls, you betcha I had cars honking their ass off when I had to stop, throw the stand down and dig money out. Now I have an I-Pass and I don't piss anyone off.
Wanting food is one thing, stopping your bike and blocking the drive through until you've ticked lots of people off because you're a tad miffed? Sorry, if I were that manager I would've called the police. That was wrong any way you look at it. You have a problem, you go inside and talk it over, you don'tmake others, that have ZERO to do with your situation, pay for it. Still MHO

I have never been refused service at a drive thru.
I work a part time job (security related) at a Sonic Drive In. I have never heard the management refuse an order from an m/c, nor have I ever been asked by that same management to have an m/c removed from the drive thru lane.
If, the drive thru is not posted "No Motorcycles", then in my unbiased Biker/LEO opinion, a biker has just as much right to use the drive thru as anybody else. And if it offends the cager behind me that it takes an extra 30 seconds for me to stand up to take my wallet out.....too friggin bad.
Ms. Drive Thru girl should have filled the order, and then said "Just so you know, here is the policy. I filled your order THIS time, but next time you will need to come inside."
only trouble i,ve had is after dark,the sign was there but it was on the window.girl thought it was funny an gave it to me anyway,said it was because of holdups.
I'd pick a very busy time for them, get 5 or 10 buddies on bikes, line up one behind the other
and place your orders and take your time.
Then come back a few minutes later and do it again. Get the managers attention
Motorcycles are considered MOTOR VEHICHLES in most every state.
another issue is if they only service cars in the drive thru, what happens at night at the 24 hour drive thru, does this mean that iif you are on a bike you may not purchase anything?
I am a little suprised that anyone who rides a bike feels that they are a problem, I go thru drive thru's all of the time, I have my money ready, I am ready to place all of my order in the tour pak before the food is even ready, I am gone as quickly as any cage....
people who own harley's genereally have a few extra bucks to spend, I know that I have about a half million in just 2 of my hobbies granted the 3 harleys and 2 foreign bikes, tools and all are only a little over 100,000.00 but I would think we were good customers who had extra to spend.... I am not treated like trash when I go to high end hotels or other events on a Harley... are you?
