Most dangerous part of motorcycling is that you might end up in a hospital. Hospitals are very unhealthy places, something like 1% of people who go into them emerge from them dead.

It's worse than that. Everybody born in a hospital will surely die.

Probably 205 a hundred times over but...

May I see your license and registration? Errrrrr, No?

Do you know why I stopped you? Performance award?

Do you know the speed limit? Uh...let me think, infinity?

You would be good at the game "Balderdash".

Yup. Hospitals kill more people than Guns and Motorcycles Combined!

This past summer on a 4,500 mile round-trip from Pittsburgh, PA to Montana while wearing ATGATT:

North Dakota Chick: "Wow, you rode all the way here from Pennsylvania on that?"
Me: "Yes"'
North Dakota Chick: "Are you wearing hockey pants?"

Before I can answer, a guy behind the counter with her says: "You better make it for here - it might be kind of inconvenient for him to hold the cup WHILE HE'S RIDING HIS MOTORCYCLE." We all (including the lady) laughed.

The next time I was there, maybe a month later, the guy is there but not the lady. I ordered a cup of coffee and he obviously remembered me: "That's to go, right?"

I agree - drinks are "to go" items for guys who live on motorcycles. Weekenders... sure... they'll walk into a restaurant to eat. I guess that's part of the allure ... having a place to go on their motorcycle.

Put a lid on the coffee or smoothie, and I'll stuff it in my saddle-bag with my fast-food order, then take it to where I'm headed. And I only go through the drive-through on my bikes.

Stop drinking Dunkin Donuts-like dish water (some call it coffee) and drink coffee of proper strength. Then a half quart will give you heart palpitations. It will taste a whole lot better too.

Regular coffee but use crack instead of sugar.
