what constitutes drunk riding? being legally drunk or having 1 or 2 beers?
Any of the following quotes:
"I've only had one or two beers"
"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.

Now if everybody was going 120 it wouldn't be a fucking problem, would it?

Excellent dissection, rep for you. Done personally.

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).
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.
