Greetings,
&nbsp\\;
No drinking and riding here. I've known too many people either hurt or killed by drinking and riding.

Hell no. 1. All the cagers around here are drunk. 2. My wife is on the back seat.

Unbelievable but about half of all biker fatalities the RIDER is legally drunk. &nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

When I drink, I do not drive or ride anything.

I do not drink and drive because I might hit a bump and spill my drink that would be a waste

I quit drinking about ten years ago. Even as a kid drinking a 12 pack a night I did not drink and drive. I always told the buddy I rode with either we are drinking or we are riding but we are not doing both. Sadly a car was&nbsp\\;an entirely differant story.

Oddly my endorsement got misplaced so I had to go through the whole testing procedure again. About a third of the questions were about how much it was safe to drink and drive. It pained me to put the correct answer. One beer per hour when none is the right answer to me.

If I'm going to be driving or riding I don't drink at all. If I'm home relaxing that's another story. After working most of today (Saturday) I had a couple of scotch and sodas but that's about the limit. Since the weather is supposed to be good tomorrow I'll be off riding without a hangover!
