I cannot ever, EVER imagine RIDING through a DRIVE through window. You wouldn't do it on a bicycle would you? Just not anything I would ever think about doing, I wouldn't park my truck in a motorcycle spot, so why cause all the grief? Make no sense to me. I have been watching this for a couple of days and it just amazes me at the responses and reactions. Sad really..........

 

umm, why not? i've done it before, back when i didn't have a car, but i did have a bicycle..... (never mind the fact that a bicycle is not considered a motor vehicle but a motorcycle is) now i don't have a bicycle, but i do have a car and a bike. and i've gone through the drive in a few times on the bike. i don't see the big deal, i just don't get a drink when i do. the rest goes in the saddlebag, and i don't ride in the big grease spot down the center of the lane, just like i don't ride down the center of the lane on the highway either.

 

You're kinda right in that it is quasi-public, however it is a PRIVATE business that provides a PUBLIC service. Land, building, franchise, etc are all PRIVATLEY-OWNED. You can enter at will, but you start causing trouble and they ask you to leave, you're trespassing. Guess I should have stated "You stand there and lip off to them and they ask you to leave and you refuse, they can call the cops and bust you for trespassing." Bottom line is, it's up to the discretion (sp?) of the owner or manager as to what goes on on the premises. If they don't want to serve a motorcycle in the drive-thru, they don't have to. Hell, they don't even have to serve a car if they dont want to, it's their call to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

 

Lets boycott Wendy's nationwide. That foods bad for you any way

 

Absolutely, like it or not that's the way it is. As I said before I don't like the idea of a business refusing service to a motorcyclist just because they're on two wheels but they can.

Whether it's smoking, not serving motorcyclists at the drive-through or whatever, if I was a business owner, I would not like someone trying to tell me how to run my business. You don't have a right to be served at the drive-through anymore than you have a right to eat in a smoke free restaurant. You have the freedom to choose where you go to spend your money. Seems pretty democratic to me, kinda like casting your vote at election time. Let your money speak.

WOW! Somehow I don't think a burger can hold up to a tranny problem. Thanks

 

I was refused service at a diner once. No kidding. The lady just refused to serve us because we were bikers. Said she didn't want "our kind" in the building. We split and the place eventually went out of business. In today's market, with information boards like this, a place can little afford bad "word of mouth" information.
