Beers and riding

[gijoe1313]

I be a teetotaler anyways! I've seen the results of alkamahol on my mates and I don't even like the taste of it! Much prefer cranberry juice or strawberry milk.

2 bourbons is enough these days.

Especially if they 12%'s aye ...

I had a couple of 12's a month or so back... fark me!!... I was on my way pretty quickly lol

I tremble at even admitting to this, but since I got my bike, I realised why they actually make light beer.

On my first trip to the (very local) pub, I had one real one, then a couple of those.

But my general intention is to stay right away from the stuff if my bikes is involved.

Different story with 4 wheels parked outside.

ps. they don't actually taste that bad but please don't tell my non-riding mates I said that.

Just to be sociable meself.

One beer, seen alot of silly mishaps happen , and some have happened in the pub car park. Bikes and booze aren't the best mix.

Curious as to why people are willing to have a couple of beers when driving the cage but none on the bike?

I've been driving a car for more than 3 decades, so I consider myself fairly experienced/skilled in that area. I will quite happily have a wine or two over a few hours and drive.
However I have only been riding little more than a year, and don't believe that I have the necessary reflexes/reactions to ride safely after a drink.

Three i guess....but i eat at the same time and the Three is over a couple of hours

None for this Kiwi, maybe one on the odd occasion.

Hard enough keep the bike upright at the best of times.

[fireball]

i dont even drink anymore.......
so just a coke for me at the pub

Me too! But that also applies to riding bikes. I will have a couple over a long stay with a feed, and then ride home.

but doesn't alchohol make you irresistable to the opposite sex? a person everyone likes to have at a BBQ? someone who dresses well and drives a cool vehicle [horse, van, ute, whatever] and, by implication someone who can DRIVE BETTER??


oh
you mean the adverts lie ................ *sigh*

Yeah - I'll admit to drinking the light stuff... when on bike, or a driver - I've found that the flavour of Lions 'Light Ice' improved considerably by adding a slice of lemon (al la Corona) into the bottle, then drinking. Quite pleasant in fact...
