Yeah, well, the Friday night sessions on the TOG Tours are always the killer ones. Saturday night is mild by comparison. Seriously, I wouldn't have a problem with a zero-tolerance drink driving law. If you know the rules, you can abide by them. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!

Zero." Personally I think you should be able to drink as much as you like, drive as fast as you like, and take as many drugs as you like, as long as you're still capable of controlling a motor vehicle safely. Unpolicable, but the only truely fair way of doing things, IMO. -- ZX6R F2 - The Gravelseeker BOTAFOT #121, BBB #2 |
