I drink beer almost every everyday, 2 beers after work except when I am riding. I never drink when I am on the bike. I just don't trust being too relaxed and "confident" (in the Dutch Courage way) riding my Rocket. I have to curb my enthusiasm stone cold sober let alone after a couple of beers.
I might sound like I am not enjoying life to the fullest, but I want to keep on enjoying life to the extent I do. Each to their own I suppose, but it is not for me.

Same here.

I drink every day, and have for many years.

But I never drink while operating a boat or motorcycle, and never more than one with dinner if I have to drive a car.

I enjoy 1 or 2 rums with a yarn at a pub stop when out on the bike but make sure I stay legal. Not like my younger days in the Mountians around the Northern Rivers of NSW. Never could drive a car very well drunk or sober so I never have driven fast. On the other hand I probably did my fastest ever motorcycle riding with just the right amount of intoxication. Not enough and I was too cautious and too much and you crash. Trouble was knowing what the right amount was before your out there doing it.
 
Ok, ok, the general consensus seems to be no..... so I'll post some pics when I do it ;)

My friends R3T has apes not sure if this pic will do

When I was young back in the fifties and early sixties I had many bikes with high bars. They handled just fine. I beat many guys on my Triumph with high bars who were riding Triumphs
with stock low bars over a road called Topanga Canyon that we used to race on. I remember always being told the my high bars were no good and stupid etc. Today I prefer the stock bars
on my newer bikes. I still have a couple of Harley choppers but now my preferred STYLE is low bars. If a guy wants to put some high bars on a Rocket 3 I say do it and see how you like
them. The bike will handle just fine. Here is a picture of a bike I have been working on for a little over a year, its almost ready to start.
