Merry Christmas everyone.
When I was young and indestructable, and was riding with a bunch of complete nutters, I was smashed and drunk all the time riding around (this I am not proud of, I hasten to add). This went on for about five years or so before I reached the age when the brain develops to a point where you realise you are being stupid - then stop doing those things. Interestingly, despite all the cop cars sitting waiting around in the early hours of the morning as I was floating home, I never once got stopped. In fact, I've only ever been breathalysed once, and that was in a car about 30 years ago!! One thing I do remember is that every time I got on the bike, regardless of my state, I seemed to sober up really quickly. On one occasion, I couldn't remember riding home and had to check outside to see if my bike was there. I was both crazy and lucky, but shouldn't have been. All I can say is I'm well behind the Police in nicking people who DD and use mobiles, as well as those who are still idiots. I only wish bans were longer and fines heavier.
Take care all - looking forward to the Spring already.
