what an *******. Screwing it up for every other mb user, next time a cop see's someone on an mb in sydney they will probably pull em over. Hope someone in perth doesnt do that, they seem to be getting more popular over here now.
Yea this is unfortunate. Our bikes attract heavy drinkers hahah....its true.
There are some who have lost licenses or who feel they can get away with DUI because they are on a bicycle.
One of my customers lost his license for 10 years and discovered he could get away with riding motorized bikes, unfortunately his drinking continued and he did nothing but cause damage to the reputation of motorized bikers in my community.
This is a shame, but didn't someone, a potential vendor, think this was good market for MBs? I guess if the cops see a guy at 2:00 am on an MB, its a sure pullover and stop. I guess the rest of us will be confined to riding in the day light and be prepared for more sobriety tests.There are some who have lost licenses or who feel they can get away with DUI because they are on a bicycle.

Well put, TWalker.
Having dui offenders on motor assisted bicycles is not a bad idea in itself.
Excessive drunkenness is.
(I'll make my confession here; I've never had a dui. But there've been plenty of times when I deserved one. these days I have almost no appetite for alcohol. so I've gotten through the whole thing well. But there was a lotta luck involved. I might have been one of the guys we're talking about.)
Society ought to let these folks fall back on MBs. Some will make us look like fools.
Most, probably, will do credit to the MB movement.
and the law could take away the MB right to those who act foolishly.
All they'd have to do is write such laws.
