Dubbs, nobody is making you look bad at all. You did what you thought was right. However, I have no tolerance for drinking and riding/driving at all. You did what you thought was right. Others would handle it differently. Thats all.

Here is what I would have done in that situation. I wouldn't have called the cops. I would have gotten the bike up and off the road. Then told the guy to call a friend or family member to come pick him up. I'd even let him use my cell phone if I needed to.

I'd flat out tell the guy, he was leaving his bike there or going to have someone ride it home for him. If he decided to ride home, then i'd call the cops.

I would wait till someone showed up. Once someone showed up, then give them his bike keys and explain what the situation was. Then let them handle it from there.

Sure it may take an hour or so out of my day. But if I saved a life or helped keep an accident from happening, it was worth it.
