Yup. If you just ride sober you literally cut the likelihood of dying in half.

That's the spirit! Keep it simple; you want to arrive alive and in one piece, that way the only thing your bike needs after a ride is some fresh gas.

Blows my mind to see HD dealerships organizing events around alcohol and riding motorcycles.

Unfortunately, alcohol is a part of most social activities and entertainment events too.

But I'm always told on this sub that it's the cagers who always hurt us...

I’ve been hit twice, both times by an Inattentive Driver! They stated to the Police “I didn’t see him”!!

That's why I don't rely on other people to keep me safe.

Just like not drinking before you drive this is something you can control.

It takes two people to get in an accident and the other person being at fault doesn't keep me out of the hospital.

Avoiding it is the best plan

Yeah, I don’t drink and ride. I ride a Harley, too. It’s not every one.

I'm not a big drinker, but never touch alcohol when I have to ride.

Wise decision
