Got clocked doing something like 80 or so down Park Row hill on the bike, I was only wearing a swimsuit. I got my bike impounded and received nearly a dozen tickets. Had to go to teen court and lost my driver’s license for 6 months. Arlington PD BMW cop nailed me.

Jumped 4 cars (sxs) on a dare. I did it and the poser welched on the case of beer.

A pal and I rode our bikes through the main hall on the last day of high school.

Delivered pizza.

This was a KDX200 (headlight and taillight only, no blinkers) An enduro/cross country beast.

Took it to Azle from Pantego using backroads on a dare. Like 60 miles.

Hit a dog on a gravel road doing 50. Still carrying road in my arm and leg.

That was sober:

Wasted times are hard to recall these days. Did some wild things not only on a vehicle.

Funny thing, I also had a smoking ‘77 Camaro and an F250. Never got into trouble with them.

I was one of those ‘rich’ poor kids in my teens. I roofed houses during the summer and weekends. I was making money while everyone else studied.

My world.

Pm me and I will give more info as it comes back to me.

I’ll tell you why....crazy to realize that if a pilot is caught prior to flying, technically, he has not violated the law. Of course, the FAA has “under the influence” where most airlines have a 12 hour, bottle to throttle, rule. It is not as big a problem as it would seem but the drug of choice is alcohol, not the hard drugs that are smoked, snorted or injected. Alcoholism is treated as a sickness and many pilots do return to the cockpit after treatment.
