Yesterday I managed to mangle one of the cranks on my Coker. It all started with too many Margaritas Friday night and then sticking with my plans to go Cokering (with a hangover) Saturday morning. I met with Matt & Joe for our bi-monthly 9 a.m. ride and knew when I first mounted the Coker that it was going to be an interesting ride. I managed to go about 50 feet before my first UPD. I remounted and rode another 1.4 miles before the Coker shot out from under me while making a turn and smashed into a curb, bending the left crank so badly that it wouldn't even clear the frame🙁 I had 2 choices, give up and carry the Coker back to the car or find something to bend the crank back into a rideable shape. I found a short piece of metal rebar and wedged it between the crank and frame and managed to bend the crank enough to clear the frame. By this time, I had sweated out enough alcohol that I felt ready to continue the ride. We proceeded along the Mission Trails and I managed only one more UPD before the turn-around point. This time me and the Coker both came out without a scratch. On the return trip, I finally started to feel near- human again and only UPD'd once as I tried to negotiate my way around a barrier on a wooden bridge. All in all, the ride actually ended up being my most successful Coker ride with only 3 UPD's in hust under 13 miles.

If you ain't crashing, you ain't going fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!
riding drunk isn' too tough, as long as your a competant rider. It's preddy fun too. I haven't tried any trilas or street but just cruisin around is a blast.
*I don't plan on getting drunk, but I think it would be fun to try riding drunk. 🙂 *
Trust me, it is. I think the highest hop on my new MUni has been when I was drunk. Yup, cleared the keg (sideways) that got me into the stooper on the second and third try. After that, I learned how much fun drunk keg rolling can be.
