Got $2500 you don't need or want, there are much better ways to waste it than on an attorney for a DUI, and much safer and MUCH LESS DEADLY too!!
as for the stupidity of DUI on a bike, you're 100% right.
as for the legality, it depends. in some areas DUI is a "motor vehicle offence". in other areas it's a "vehicle offence".
even if it's technically legal, it's still stupid, and a cop can still find things to ticket you for... like reckless endangerment, or whatever drew their attention to you in the first place.
in any case... it's dumb. don't do it.
