I know this haz been covered in a few threads here but now that I got the riding fever again and the winter is at the half way mark I wuz wonderin. . .

What are your feelings about drinkin & ridin?

Me, well let’s just say I like the bottle a bit too much.

I am not here to judge and lord knows I have done my share of insane things in my time but I feel that there is enough goin on out on the roads to worry about fer me not to add the effects of alcohol to the mix.

What’s yer take?

The fact is, it's not the rider's life at stake.

 

if you have to ask, then you shouldn't.

 

NYNicket, you just said what I was going to say. Why add alcohol tothe mix???? You are playing russian roullette if you do.

 

To me, it's always fun to go to one of the bike nights and drink a beer on a summer evening. We always limit ourselves to a couple and that's all.

 

I made it thru my youth with alot of luck thrown in. I'm at a point in life now where I need everything going for me that I can get when I'm riding and that doesn't include booze. My habits now include zero booze when riding. When I'm on trips I stay in motels that have food and booze on the premises or atleast are within walking distance. Once I've taken a drink the bike stays parked.

 

same here. one with some food, ok. for the most part, I usually drink water when ridin'.

 

A couple of years ago I was a little out of control and going way too far. These days I take a little easier. Way too many people getting DUI's around me.

 

 

I usually keep it to 2 beers or less. That seems like the safe amount for me.
