Is it just me or do you find that after each bar stop the speed picks up and the show offs start coming out of the "normalriders". I think we need some alchohol free poker runs so we can just enjoy the ride.

 

I'll drink to that

 

You don't have to drink you know, and as for the rowdies let'em go, the law will see them and not you Myself I like'em the way they are I drink a few but don't get drunk [sm=icon_cheers.gif]and like to play pool at the bars and besides a non drinking poker run I think would draw a lot less bikes and money as the bars contribute to the net I think jmho.

 

I agree with Gilbros, I think a poker run without alcohol would not draw very many people. I have done a couple of poker runs and tend to stay at the back at let the show off's go to the front. That's usually the way it is even if we are riding with a group just out on a day ride. Show off's to the front please because I don't want them on my a$$.
I like to have a few beers, but not get drunk while riding. I will pace myself. But there are those who go ***** to the wall. In my opinon you mix a show off and alcohol, you cannot get a deadlier combination on a motorcycle.

I love my beer. When I ride, it's only

 

Out of the many poker runs we have done only a few of them had bar stops. The last one we went on had zero bar stops or alcohol and had well over 500 bikes. Another one we went on that was also a dry run had probably close to 1000. Funny thinking back the ones that did have bar stops were always ABATE sponsored.

 

Why would ya go on a poker run WITHOUT beer?????????????? I don't get it [sm=forgetit.gif][sm=partyparty.gif]THAT'S just Un-American []

I agree. Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% against riding while intoxicated. But if someone wants to knock back one adult beverage while haning out at a stop, and then ride sensibly afterwards, it's their choice. Just as long as they're not intoxicated.
