riding sober
I am usually half lit when on the forum, but will not get on the bike with even a drop of booze in my system. It's hard for me to imagine riding with even the slightest intoxication, yet i see brothers parked outside the bars all the time. Are you folks really riding drunk (or even with a slight buzz) on your bike?

I've never ridden after I've drank any alcohol.
I quit years ago but when I did drink, there was never a time I rode after.
Once in a blue moon I'll have a beer or two with friends. I'm a cheap drunk now. Two beers and I'm buzzed.

I have a few friends that i like to ride out dinner with then ride back and ill have a beer with the meal but thats pretty much it. If i go out drinking im not driving or riding anything.....its good to have sober friends.

September of 2009 a buddy of mine called to see if I wanted to get together with the old group and I said sure, nothing but a ride thru a couple counties. We stopped at a few bars and along the way picked up a few more riders.
one of the last stops was a bar in a town about 30 miles from home, after an hour or so in there shooting pool and hanging out I had had enough as I don't normally spend much time in bars so told my bud I was out of there and rode home by myself.
The next morning I got a call from one of the others with the group telling me my friend was in the hospital on life support keeping him alive after he didn't make a corner with his impaired state after smoking a bunch of bowls along with a good bit of alchohol.
I got to the hospital as quick as I could though it didn't matter he was being kept alive with machines. I got to hug and hang onto his daughter for both of our sakes for awhile.
Just one story that didn't have a good ending, Lord only knows how many times i have done the same thing years ago.
