I will say though...I don't drive drunk, I don't ride drunk. After I caught on I NEVER drink before I get on the bike. It is funny though...everyone I know that has or currently rides offer nothing but encouragement and helpful tips, while everyone that has never gotten on a motorcycle tell me horror story after horror story. That is the least helpful thing anyone could do to a beginner. I'm always nervous, alert and trying to pay attention to my surroundings and controlling the bike. I don't need to think about getting my face wrapped around the rim because I wasn't paying attention to the asshole behind me at a light rear ending me.
