Ride like you would on your bike, since all bikes are about the same.

Check the controls and shift pattern.

Take the owner’s word that everything is in working order.

Assume you know where all the controls are located.

All motorcycles are slightly different, so you should check the controls and make sure you know the gear pattern before riding an unfamiliar motorcycle. Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times prior to riding.

Judgment and riding abilities can still be affected.

There is usually no effect on the body.

There is an effect on the body, but it only lasts for a short time.

There is an effect on the body, but it can be eliminated by drinking coffee.

As little as one alcoholic drink can significantly affect the skills that are needed for safe riding. The only way to remove the alcohol content of a drink from your body is to allow your body time to eliminate it.
