Well I don't know what to do other than sit back and watch. This might be confusing, but here goes- One of my friends (I'll call him friend A) thinks he and his stupid ass wife have to go to the bar every friday and saturday on his bike. I know he's rode home or to other bars drunk before. Well, he meets up with another rider I know, and now they are good friends. This guy is is pretty cool and a helluva guy, but he's the wild type and is a bad influence on friend A. They both get liquored up and rode to another bar about 20 miles away a couple weekends ago. Mind you this was probably about midnight or 1am. Also, another friend of mine, who is an active duty soldier from Ft. Campbell, came home recently and he went with the 2 of them on his bike. Not sure if he was drunk, but he had been drinking.
Now, these guys all ride cruisers, but it doesn't matter to me if it's a NSR500 or a fuckin scooter. Also, friend A said they did 110 on the way to the 2nd bar the other day. None of these guys wear ANY gear at all, my Army friend will maybe wear a pair of gloves and over the ankle boots, but that's it. Not to mention it is against regs for him to NOT wear a helmet and jacket at all times on a bike, or he could get an Article 15 or whatever punishment for being stupid.
These guys are my friends, although admittedly, I keep my distance from them now after finding out the bullshit they are pulling. I used to go to friend A's house every single night, and we'd be in the garage until 1am working on his chopper or somebody else's bike, but no more. Also, these guys laugh and joke about it too. A's wife is just as bad as the rest of them, how fucking stupid do you have to be to get on the back of a bike in a tanktop when there is a drunk piloting the bike?
I'm getting to the point where I'd rather see them all get pulled and get a DUI instead of seeing them killing themselves. After what happened to me in my wreck, and I was wearing a lot of gear, I can't imagine what would happen if they went down.
Any suggestions on what to do? Of course they will not listen to me, I'm just a 22 y/o kid that don't know shit and they can "handle" themselves. One guy is 23, friend A is about 26, and bad influence guy is around 40. Don't really want to be making trips to the hospital or to the graveyard.
