Be Responsible

I hope they make it home OK

Why didn’t someone stop him?

Why do we protect each other. Watch each others bikes Why do we protect each other? Watch each others bikes? Check each others pack? Checkout each others tires?

But we won’t keep someone we love and trust from getting on a bike after they have been drinking?

Who is the most accurate in judging when you have had too much to drink? The Government? Local Law Enforcement? Friends? YOU?

YOU

Before you start drinking!!! You have to decide this Before you start drinking!!!

Like Clint Eastwood Said Man’s got to know his limitations (Women too)

What are your limitations One drink Three Six

When have you reached the point where you shouldn’t ride?

You are responsible for knowing this point. Before you start drinking!!!!!
