When I was at university, I used to ride my bicycle to the local 24hr Macdonalds after I finished work; around 12:30am, I'd arrive just before 1am.

After doing this for ~8 months, they must have changed the policy, I was no longer able to use the drive through. But the door was locked after 10pm, so no more late night snacks for me!

Not sure if motorbikes were allowed or not.

Urgh I hate even thinking of using a drive through on a motorcycle. What kinda monstrosity bike would even have anywhere to put the food.

Uh, how about a backpack? Saddlebags? Compartment under the seat? Wtf even is this comment.

Shit just get the food and roll your ass over to a parking spot and eat it there. I've on more than one occasion went to a drive thru, got food, parked, then ate the food either in the car (like a fat POS) or sitting outside the car (also like a fat POS, but with a different view)

Don't even wait embrace your inner fat ass and start hogging itInn drive thru. You already stopped and have gloves off really we aren't trying to hog Down more than a couple bigmacs right.... What's that like 2minutes.

Well I hate drive-throughs at the best of times but the idea of ordering food to toss into a sack makes me feel icky. Not even getting into fishing out my wallet while on the bike and then while the bike is running reaching out to take food, then letting go of the brake to flip my backback around....

Its just such a bad thought all the way around. I go into the place if riding my bike, if the place is closed its no food for me.

dude throw the stand down and hop off for a sec. you can even put the bag down on the seat if that helps

I am confused as to why we are pro drive though here. Why not "throw the stand down" and go inside like a real person and not some sort of car-person hybrid?

I mean that's what I do but his solution just seemed silly
