If you tie enough of them together they make a great drag chute for braking!

Perfect. Do I toss 'em out before or during entering the curve?

You guys make me laugh. You think you have the skills to manage a cocktail umbrella?? I'll bet you can't even deal with a toothpick in an olive let alone possess umbrella skills. Have you even had any training? At all?? And you think you can speak with authority on this topic?

Bunch of internet wannabees.

Yeah, but can you ride, drink, eat the olive, and not spill a drop?

I didn't think so.

Look......I've been at this a long time. I come from a long line of alcoholics (this is true). This whole region is known for our alcohol skills. I once decked a dude in a bar and he landed flat on his back. He still managed to not spill a drop of his drink (looked like a rum and coke - no lime). He just laid there and looked up at me, drink in hand. (this is actually true too, which probably means I punch like a girl)

Anyway, I'm genetically predisposed to this stuff and the best I can do is the previously mentioned highball. And even at that it has to be an inch below the rim with plenty of ice - no vegetation at all!

Unless maybe you're some sort of prodigy. Are you?

Sure this is real funny guys. What are you going to tell the widow, or daughter of the rider killed trying to experiment with riding while carrying a drink?

That's what I'm saying here! At the very least, do the Indian blanket/yoga mat practice at home. All you need is a smooth surface like a wood floor, and someone willing to drag you around. At the very least sign up for a DSF course.
