Default Riding Drunk

Alright guys I want your honest answers on this one. SO I got two friends that go out to the bars everynight and get drunk. Well they both have yamaha r6s and they like to ride their bikes to the bars and drink. I always get pissed cause they insist on drinking the riding their bikes home. Their theory is that its easier to ride the bike home then a car and if they kill anyone its just gonna be themselves. This really gets to me and I cant understand why they do it. They one has always done it and they other didnt used to till he hung out with him. We would always give him **** for it and now that they hang out with him he does it to. Drives me crazy, what do you guys think honestly. All I could say is its gonna catch up to them one day.

Man I dont when they drink, but they are my best friends. I guess just not with their heads on straight. We have a group that I have been friends with my whole life and six of us have bikes. Unfortunately these two ride when they drink and I hate it.

If they're your best friends, you need to really sit them down and talk to them about it. Come on... riding after drinking being easier on a bike, and why have that selfish attitude about life. That's just rediculous.

Go buy a couple of disc locks and next time they go out, follow 'em. If they wanna get pissed, fight 'em. That's what good friends do when one is being a knucklehead... you gotta thump him upside his head.

Unfortunately, this is a situation where inaction is way worse than action and look at this way...

How would you feel about things if they killed someone, or themself. Think about what that would do to your consicence.

Disc lock your buddies bike, then if he's real hard up, he'll ride bitch and you can make fun of him. Next time they go out disc lock both their bikes and tell 'em to ****off.

I mean I could sit with them and it wouldnt do anything. I dont wanna see them get hurt but if they happened to get pulled over I wouldnt be mad. One of them only has his temps to and only had his bike for a few months

OR, if you think they simply won'tlearn - call the ****ing cops on 'em man. I know it sounds harsh and I may have some disagree with me, but as someone who has written a handfull of DWI's I can tell you firsthand I have been thanked more than not thanked.

DWI's are expensive and extremely inconvenient. Most spend around 20 hours in holding, not even in the real jail. There is a lot of time to think about what you did when you're in a 10x10 cell with a bunch of random ****heads who can be anywhere from rapists toviolent assaults offenders.

It will make a good person say, "this **** just isn't for me." It makes a ****head say, "wow, 3 squares and a cot - no rent, sign me up!"

See which one he is.

Thats what I said, call the cops and have them arrested, bike taken no license and out a **** load of money. How else can someone learn if they are as stubborn as you say they are.

Oh I know they are both the kind of people that if they did get a dwi would stop doing it all together. They just dont think it would happen to them. Maybe thats all it takes and I hope it happens
