Default Layed the Glide on its Side......

Last night while leaving a party at a beach house......I was in the street talking to several friends with the bike idling.....when a girl walks up (very good-looking) and ask for a ride. I said ok and while talking to the guys on my left and reaching down to put my left rear peg down...she must have put the right peg down and jumped on it....and we went down on the right side. The guys I was talking to immediatly grabbed my handlebars and pulled us back up. It only scratched the underneath floorboard support....but I was a little pissed....haven't told my girlfriend this story....I did learn a lesson.....no drunks can ride when I am drunk too.

I'll be the first to say what a rush it is to catch a beer buzz and go ride'in. In years gone by, well....there were more than a few times I should not have been on two wheels, hell what's amazing is that I kept it on two wheels. I'm now in my mid 40's and very happy that I'm here today to post this. I'll still drink a beer, maybe two and ride. I don't know you, so please for your sake, don't get trashed enough to be so unaware of whats going on around you that you could drop your bike and then go for a ride. I have to make that decision before I start drinking, otherwise, once buzzed, I think I can ride it standing on my head nekked[sm=alcoholic.gif].
Don't mean to preach, I just figure I'll like you better not dead.

I am glad that is all that happened also.

I am proud to say that, I have never gotten on mine or any other persons scooter if I have even had one drink...

To me it is very cool to be able to ride all day long (with all of my faculties) and then pull that scooter into my garage and go upstairs and kiss the wife... Now that is livin...

It was a lesson that was best learned while at a standstill than when moving. Glad you're around to tell your story.
I'm a firm believer in not only learning form my own mistakes, but also the mistakes of others.
