Only if it is a cheap Prosecco, please.

Good bubbly doesn't deserve to be desecrated.

Crodino too... not as well known as Aperol.... lol...

 

[LowRyter]

All prosecco is cheap, why do you think the Venetians added Aperol?

This is the U Drop in, on Route 66 in the Texas Panhandle;

There is no issue with drinking there, they only serve pop and icecream.

Pretty sure we've been there, Shamrock Texas, but not with our bikes. We were there with our Jeep and RV trailer. There was a cool vinyl record shop across the way called Spinning Jenny's, sadly they are gone.

Lowryter and Bev took us here one time..

Thought it might be interesting to share pictures of our beloved V11's as we enjoy another popular pastime ... having a beer.

Not encouraging drinking and riding at all... and I just want to reiterate how important it is that we are responsible motorcyclists.

1 beer is my limit if we are on the road and have lunch somewhere. On a longer trip we always make sure we get to the hotel early, park the bikes, then walk or taxi to a couple bars, pubs or breweries.

Here in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. we are spoiled with hundreds of breweries and bars. Washington state, Oregon, Northern California and British Columbia all offer amazing riding, scenery and fantastic beer (and wine).

Would love to see some interesting bars from around the world, if anyone cares to share.

Pictures below are of the Last Frontier Saloon in Fall City, just 40 minutes east of Seattle. A very typical "dive bar" in this part of the world.

I hope this thread is permissible and seen as being responsible. If not I apologize.

Interesting place but I think it's sad we feel the need to have a bunch of disclaimers in a thread like this these days.

Yep, great food at Bonge's. I've ridden by, but the times I've eaten there ( a long time ago), cars were necessary to drag our bloated carcasses home. I used to work with Tony, the original (reconstruction) owner and chef. Tailgating is encouraged!

It's not written as a disclaimer,... it's just reaffirming common sense.

It might seem a statement of the obvious but ya know,... old riders don't get that way by accident.

It's what I thought when I first started riding 50 years ago and it will always be relevant.

Just my 2 cents...

Is that a genuine Brit telephone booth ?

It appears to be. I didn't step in to phone anyone having no quid in hand to pay the call (I am, honestly, quite vague on what a "quid" is, but it is fun to say. )

A terrific gathering place in the unlikely place that is the town square of Gainesboro, Tennessee . . .

High Chapparal in Heiderscheidergrund Luxemburg is a nice place to go in our area. You can pitch a tent, so no trouble having a nice Belgium beer.

And a bit further to the east (50km) is Herberg Hutterscheid (similar name but that is a coincident). Also the possibility to pitch your tent or sleep in the Bunkhouse.

Doc, a quid is slang for a pound in the UK....

I remember a pint of bitter could be had for less than one 40 or more years ago but reckon might be a bit more now!
