On Thursday, November 5th, there will be a Vintage Bike night near downtown. If it doesn't snow, I may bring my GS1000. But since I don't drink now, I would feel stupid ordering soda in the bar. What do other non-drinkers order?

Water. :wink: Or sprite if you want it to look like you may be drinking something. As a bartender, I used to get asked this fairly often. Have a juice, no one will ever know it doesnt have alcohol in it and have them put it in an alcoholic drink cup versus a soda cup.

The most recent bike night I went to the owner of the joint was offering free margaritas to the riders to have it there. Seriously??!! It was nice hanging with folks and meeting new faces, but I just cant get into the whole drink and ride thing, even if its just one.

I drink a water with lemon and tell people it is a polar bear... then they think it's some kind of mixed drink :)

I really don't give a shit what other people think if I'm not drinking. I believe I'm the smarter one for that, but that is my opinion.

You know it is funny, I consider myself quite shy and I haven't drank in a what some of you would consider a very long time, and It never occurs to me to worry about how other view what I am drinking.

I am loud and clear that I dont drink when I ride, and that water or soda is fine. No one has ever given me crap for it and hopefully it makes a few stop and think before ordering that drink.

one of the things I've noticed in the two bike nights I went to (may just be those groups) but all they do is worry about what everyone else is doing... what they're drinking... what they're riding... who they're talking to... makes for night long conversation and delays the part of the night they all seem to hate....

RIDING THE DAMN THINGS!

I am the same way, although bike nights up here are usually at Tim Hortons, not a licenced establishment. that is just plain dumb.
