Beers and riding?

[Kiwi Rider]

Hi, my name's Kiwi , and I'm a . . . . cool dude. Lol.
I used to drink and ride a lot, every pub we stopped and had a pint, sometimes a jug ( 1 liter) each. after a few hours we were invincible and GP racers lol.
Never crashed and rode way to fast I'll admit, never got busted by the cops either, but that was in the 90's .
Then in the '00's up until 4 years ago I was drinkinking moderately on rides. Maybe 3 pints over 4 hours of riding. Never crashed, never rode legless, just enough intoxication to take the fear away of peeling into corners hard and fast.
Last 4 years I haven't touched a drop of alcohol while out riding. Just makes me feel ill now.
It is a depressant and a toxic substance that is not good for the body, soul, or spirit.
I'm enjoying sober living, it's great!

I might have a social beer when I'm on the bike, but that's questionable. I've never understood biker bar nights either...

Well, I won't drink and ride, but I will use the bike to get the beer home as well as gas for the mower. Cause who in their right mind mows the lawn sober?

LOL

cheers

You win , you will always win with that fine steed on display

Otherwise a pint with a feed maybe a couple of times a year .

I doubt that 2 beers in as many hours alters much. That said for me and only me, I wont ever drink anything and ride. Not judging anyone who want to have a couple but its just not for me. I ride to enjoy and get on it some. Not to go to a bar.

No I don t drink alcohol at all now But when I was young I had peer pressure from my friends to drink when I was going out with them but I never liked it

 

[VIPER]

Something to see here fellow riders... even Ken can live on the edge by running a power tool while under the influence. At least with a mower it's difficult to drop it.

Well, I live in a country with zero tolerance policy, so it is out of the question. Even if I could I don't think I'd drink and ride. I love riding too much, it is the essence of feeling alive. Doing so under the influence would somehow taint that in my mind.

I have a relative who crashed his car running into a pole and some fence while driving drunk. Nobody was hurt, but there was police then court procedure, prosecution, suspended license etc. As a lawyer I helped him through it, but it was nasty business. That alone would stop me from drinking and riding.

Last but not least, nothing beats that first beer when I get home, sit on the balcony and just look at my bike.

A few beers won’t hurt you over a few hours. But Harley where I used to work would have bike nights with big coolers of beer along with a bar.. I saw some shaky looking dudes ride off many times. I couldnt say anything about it or it was my ass.

Beers for me after the ride and end of a great day to unwind.

[kim windsor]

[HayaWakened]

I wish
I'm one of the sticky ones: anything I do once, I want to do all day every day; ice cream, potato chips, coke, meth, pot, beer, any single-malt scotch, porn, LSD-25, organic mescaline, Beretta A300s. Currently I'm stuck on dogs and bikes but nothing else ... thankfully.

Spirited rides and racing is sober, cruises and hanging out, I’ll have some if they got good stuff but nowhere near drunk or even buzzed
