Any of the following quotes:

"I'm fine to ride"
"Damn I'm a fool to ride this drunk"
"I should have never let that blonde get away, wait, wasn't she just riding pillion"
"adgwalsdkgjd"
"Not a drop occifer Galiwikitiz. Could you please turn your lights off, I'm about to have a seizure."

or any variation there of. Add double points for any of those spoken directly to a peace officer. Except for the last one of course, which is double points if spoken to anyone but a peace officer and triple points if spoken to an inanimate object.

This just in:
If you've ever put your helmet on backwards,
If you've ever been too drunk the find the last beer,
If you need all four paws to stop the world from spinning, it's a good sign that you should avoid any two wheeled adventures.

There's no excuse for drunk riding or driving.


I've done all the others at one time or another. Only two of them recently.

You didn't include wheelies or stoppies, which I have to admit I do both on my SUMO on a fairly regular basis. Also passing on DY, occasionally riding to grab lunch with helmet and gloves only (though never over a mile or so), I've never actually gone for top speed, but I have pushed it pretty far a few times.

I have ridden with no gear(except helmet) when I first picked up my bike.
I have done a 'top' speed run(110ish)
...and one you don't have on there...
I have passed a car on the highway before it was all the way in the other lane after moving over for me(it was going really slow and I just wanted to get away from them).

I've passed people on a double yellow on a couple of occasions, but I try not to do it.

Only 6 points for me. I've only ever done one of the above.

In that case, I am very disappointed that riding drunk was chosen most frequently.

A motorcycle would be the last thing I would want to get on drunk.

It's a flawed poll. People are naturally choosing the worst thing they've done, which will tend to weight the bad end of the spectrum, because it's a radio button poll instead of a checkbox poll.

If it had been created correctly, the other end would most likely have much higher numbers.

My brother just got nailed for that. The State Trooper wasn't so lenient with him though. He lost his license for just over a month.
