Then I had the rude awakening. I was ticketed for drinking and driving. Not much over but enough to get the ticket. It is only a civil affense for first time here in Wisconsin, but on June 16 I lose my license for 6 months. There is a fairly liberal occupational license, but I need to give the state a schedule of when I will be driving.
Get an attorney NOW! This will cost you $1800-2000 more on your insurance every 6 months for 3 years. The breathalyzer is a piece of shit, none of them are warrented to determine BAC. There can be over 100 different compounds in your breath that those things will read as BAC.
It makes many assumptions and decides you are average, but you may not be in which case a close reading is probably BS. Most people don't fight this crap because of the upfront cost. Don't be cheap here, in the long run you will pay more if you plead guilty.
Don't let this stop your plans for getting in shape, that's always a good idea.
Myself I don't ride a bike, just a Triumph Bonneville, and for staying in shape do a lot of canoe tripping, fishing, and mineral collecting.
