Statistically, horses by a large margin.

But horses don't usually fall over you when they stop.

But horses don't usually fall over you when they stop.

Conversely, motorbikes don't freak out, jump around, pitch you off and trample you because they saw a crisp packet move in the breeze.

a motorcycle cant take itself, and by extension you, home on its own from the pub

and yes,i have taken a horse on a pub crawl

You can lose your driving licence riding under the influence.

You can put the exhaust products out of a horse on your rhubarb , but we have Birds Custard .

There has been a night or two (in the dim and distant past) where either the motorbike did or someone must've rode it home for me because I have absolutely no recollection of doing so.

at least the brakes and steering usually work,

and people think that self-driving transport is new. It's what we gave up when we moved on to steam.

I used a Husky / German Shepherd cross to guide me home once, I don't know if she was more covered in mud than I was when I woke up later the same day...

There is a hedge in East Lothian opposite a T junction with a bike sized gap in it. The gap appeared after "someone" mis-counted the number of bends before the junction and sailed through the hedge only to find there was a three foot drop on the other side - and that the field was full of round bales... Pride was injured, bike luckily unscathed apart from a few scratches, and "someone" has never taken to a bike after alcohol since...

I did Eddie the eagle over a fence in the persisting rain after a night of drink and drugs, it bloody hurt later on!

It was about 40 years ago and my shoulder still reminds me from time to time that drink and bikes are never a good combination!
