How much will you drink and still ride?

[biglubusa1]

I drink the occasional corona on a friday night (when someone else is buying) but no more than two.

[aussiekeeper]

I don't drink (never have) and don't do drugs (Did 40 years ago)

[greensleeves]

I never have drank and then rode

Alcohol and Fatal Motorcycle Crashes

• In fatal crashes in 2004, a higher percentage of motorcycle operators had BAC levels of .08 or higher than any other type of motor vehicle driver.

• Alcohol affects those skills essential to operating a motorcycle – balance and coordination. So, alcohol plays a particularly big role in motorcycle fatalities.

• Twenty-eight percent of all fatally injured motorcycle operators had BAC levels of .08 or above. An additional 6 percent had lower alcohol levels (BAC .01 to .07).

• Forty-one percent of the 1,672 motorcycle operators who died in single-vehicle crashes in 2004 had BAC levels of .08 or above.

• Sixty percent of the motorcycle operators killed in single-vehicle crashes on weekend nights had BAC levels of .08 or above.

• Motorcycle operators killed in traffic crashes at night were three times more likely than those killed during the day to have BAC levels of .08 or above.

• The age groups 40 to 49 and ages 30 to 39 are those with high percentages of alcohol involvement for motorcycle operators killed in fatal crashes.

• Reported helmet usage rate for motorcycle operators with BAC levels of .08 or above killed in traffic crashes was 41 percent, compared with 63 percent for those with no alcohol.

Won't have one while on the bike. In the car: maybe 2 over a couple hours.

[BricklayerQue]

[kml]

I keep drinkin' till I see two Busas in the garage and they are both so baayouteefull... I can't make up my mind which "one" to ride so I just pass out on the floor.

Works for me.

None. The last thing I need when surrounded by cagers out to kill me are dulled reflexes.

[klatu848]

Couple 5ths of Jameson! Sometimes a couple jolts of horse. But I try to keep my speed above 100mph, just to be safe

nice, i almost thought you were joking.

[majestic12]

None. I think the bike demands too much mental power to ride. It can get away from you rather quickly. After a 5 or 6 hour ride I feel like I don't have enough left to ride.

[MO-BUSA]

5 glasses of























water!!!!

[HAYABUSA1340]

Wheres the none of the above

[frisbee]

I will put a few Cokes back and still ride but NO ALCOHOL

[bpjones]

Need another poll option: Sobriety!

[danath 34]

yeah I agree. Needs another poll option.
I never drive after having even 1 drink. I can probably get away with driving after a few, actually, as I am a big guy, but my morals wont let me drive with even just 1 lol. And on a bike, it is even worse lol! you need your balance!

[jmaz268]

I like to drink, but won't ride if I have had even one beer. Tried it once, almost cost me my life. You don't have an option for 0.

I agree with Jeremy on this....I drink prob way more than I should....

But I will not drink a drop when riding...riding a bike like ours is all about balance...and its proven that one beer affects that....no thanks.

I wrecked once sober...don't want to relive that and then wind up in jail after I get out of the hospital...that is if I get out of the hospital.

[DisplacementJunkie]

After 2 or 3 pints, I'm still cognizant....but thats the cutoff point
