Mix alcohol and all the crazies out on our highways and you are looking towards disaster.It is a numbers game,the more people on the roads the more accidents.

Greetings,

I do the same thing just about every year! That way I can do whatever I like and not worry about a thing.

I dont know man, first they stop me from shooting my gun in the air to celebrate the 4th, then I cant smoke a frikken cigarette, now ya want me to stop drinking and driving. But its still okay to text and talk on a frikken cell phone in most places, which was proven to be more dangerous in a recent study, way more dangerous. I would like to see tham stats, nanny state commies.

BTW only half kidding here.

The 4th is about baseball, barbeque and hanging out with my buddies.

Yea, drinking and driving's a big joke till you destroy innocent lives.

May you never know what it feels like to take an innocent life or become the victim or surviving family member of someone else's reckless actions. Like these:

I use the "I" instead of "we", because I am not sure if anyone of my family is as emotional about this country as I am. After all they are Americans by birth, I am an American by choice. They were born with freedom and privilege, while I was born as a son of the State. I did not understand the meaning of freedom until Nov 14, 1971 until arrived in the land of the free.

God bliss America. You are so sweet.
Beautifully stated and very touching.

Don't go out on New Years eve (rookie nite) and probably ride early on the 4th in the AM and park it for the day!! Having a picnic here and most stay for the nite that are drinking. Alcohol and speed are the two big killers on two wheels... at least the cops I know think so!!!

4th of July we spend at Lake Texoma. I am not being negative, but I did not make the connection of the 4th being the second deadliest day for bikers.
