No offense to anyone, but that idiot probably gets in his car just as drunk. And then kills a rider, or a child, or anyone and then wonders what all the fuss is about.

One less drunk jack *** on the road, and just a few million more to go!

Leo,

The first post asked why someone that was that drunk would get on a motorcycle!

Seriously?! Maybe BECAUSE THEY WERE DRUNK!!

And then you, who I'm assuming is a real LEO, "guesses he was drunk and didn't realize he was 'TOO' drunk"?? And chances are he wasn't going to hurt someone else? I want to drink in your neighborhood. Appalling.

I'll assume, wrongly maybe, that you haven't had an immediate relative killed by Mr. One-drink.

So if i wrote: "Biker gets drunk, goes up the exit lane of the highway, survives, (laugh) and then drives into a child and........." CRY.

Did that sugarcoat it enough for you? Really.. Drunk driving is drunk driving. I didn't think there a was an in-between. Some people drink a little, kill someone, then try to tell the world they didn't really have 'too' much. Others drink a ton and are just ticking time bombs. Well I guess his bomb went off. Hopefully, he didn't hurt anyone but himself.

Again, I didn't mean to awaken anything other than just common sense. Sorry for being direct.

Sorry, I didn't mean to jump this thread that was in the wrong forum.

I apologize again. I'm thinking he got hit by oncoming traffic of one form or another. Not sure if anyone else got hurt, as poster didn't say.

And I truly agree, rider RIP.

I guess it's part of being "drunk", some are so used to it they don't know they're drunk. A guy I used to work with swore he was a better driver when drunk because he was more cautious; some people just don't "get it".

A majority of us have done it at one time or another. Last year my buddy was riding my bicycle and I was riding on the handle bars and I told him to let go and I'd steer with my butt. Yeah, we ended up ***-over-tea kettle and it wasn't until the next day we realized how dumb it was.
