Sorry, Randy! I got a problem with drinking and driving, no less drinking and riding!!! Been there done that and paid my dues for it a long time ago. Don't ever want to go back to where that road led me. It's been almost 20 yrs for me without a drink and when I think back to the risk I put myself in, no less the risk I put other innocent people on the roads in, I shudder with guilt and shame. There were many times I thought I had it all under control also. The booze told me things I believed, it was all a lie!

I wondered when someone was going to bite the bullet and call him on his "bait"!
Can't agree with you more! I do not ever drink & drive--ANYTHING!! And am very vocal to those that do. I go out of my way to keep my friends from doing so. Have always told my kids that I would rather be a little mad at having to get out of bed to pick them up at whatever hour than be more than sad at being woke up to identify their body. Have gone and visited my share of friends in the pen as they sit there for various alcohol related incidents--including vehicular homicide. Not anxious to see things from the other side of that situation.
But I realize that Randy was just trying to see what kind of ire he could raise!  Good on ya!

                                      

I also have a friend that sits in prison for a vehicular manslaughter charge. Though it was thought that the person that died was a "bad" guy and the residents took it as a community service. But the fact remains it could have been anyone good or bad. I think we (or most) have dodge the bullet at one time or another (or many). When I go back to my hometown and my friends/family party like we use to when we were young and invencible (so we thought). I usually wind up spending time with the kids or going to see my grandma or mom when the over partying gets going. It was strange to see people acutally get mad at me for not participating in the alcohol and drug use. Then the paranoia set in because if I'm not a user, I have to be a narc. At that point I ask my brother to drop me off so they could continue without me. My friend will get out someday. I hope and pray that she leaves the substance abuse alone to has a wonderful life. I keep praying that my brother will have sober days before he drinks himself to death. I don't think anyone realizes just how good life can be on the other side of that drink or drug. I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass, I'm speaking from experience......

Me and my friends in 83. Boy was I a mess then!!

I have a really close friend who neither drinks nor smokes and he parties harder than the rest of us but does not suffer from a hangover.
Drinking and driving is a fools game, imagine if you loose your licence and can't ride a bike again. Choice drink or bike....bike wins every time.

how's dyna ,..........good words dude .

I don't know if your kidding or not.
Please don't drink and ride.
Don't get me wrong I've been known to have a drink or twelve but never while on the bike.

As an R.N. in Trauma & Critical Care I see the results of drinking and riding...

Ok im gonna say my peice and stop dont take offence please.   But my bilogical father was a drunk for many years.  So I have seen what it dose to familys.  But for me i have a drink from time to time,  but even my friends give me sh*t about having 1 beer and driving.  But im the one that would get the ticket or what ever not to speak about if i had an accident even if it was not my fault and some one died it was basicly my choice to have that 1 beer and live with taking another persons life or ruining it.  This dose not include my CDL lisence would be removed aswell and I take pride knowing I can drive what I may need to legaly.  But dont forget it may not be just your life your taking into your own hands it may be some one else or their children.

i watched my best bud spread his roadking across an intersection this weekend. second time i have seen this from behind, yep drinking, still seeing it roll through my mind, won't be back to this post
