Maybe even be allowed to drive 'smaller' cars under the age of 18 would be a better plan.

But I'd rather have a ride then a drink.

yeah, they do get very worked up about "splitting lanes" here.
Not splitting lanes seems to defeat some of the point in having a bike. I have been pulled over three times, and possibley, ahem, followed in a sought after manner once after splitting lanes.
So, the cops dont like it at all.
And, all the bikers here dont really do it. Which makes me look worse cause I keep on doing it, how can you not?

But, drinking, nah, I dont like to drive my bike at all even when I had a single beer. I just dont like it. I screw up all my lines, my judgement is just a bit off.
I reckon that I come close enough to buying it every time I get on the bike, there is no need to increase the risks any more.

Besides, most beer you buy in bars in NYC is pox ridded stuff altogether. If I want to drink, I will go home to my tasty beer fridge. Hmmmm. :P

Not fussed, I'm 18 had have a full bike and car licence. I would rather spend £2 on 20 miles worth of petrol than a pint though.

Try www.goats.com - IIRC the bar is based on a real bar where you can get all sorts of decent beer. That webcomic introduced me to Weihenstephan (or something similar) lovely... If you can find the bar you may get happier...

Drink or ride... How about I ride during th day having fun and overheating at the moment, then head home for the belgian beer in the evening...

I think kids should have to pay more, since they annoy the **** out of everyone else on the plane.

Yes, what is it with people? They seem to think their children are cute and we should all adore them. Only thing worse than parents is dog/cat/rattlesnake owners who won't shut up about their pet.

Especially the rattlesnake owners... Always with the "HEEEEEELP!" We've heard it all before... "I'VE BEEN FATALLY POISONED! IN THE NAME OF GOD CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Get over yourselves...
