Cup / drink holder

[repoman]

So who's got or made a holder for drinks / cups for the driver ?

I've got a BagsConnection City Bag that I bought from Twisted Throttle. I also have a thermal coffee cup with an open-ended (on the bottom) handle. The cup fits nicely in the left-hand rear corner of the bag and works very well for me.

In Europe the idea of a motorcycle is to ride it somewhere you can have a coffee (or a cuppa, if you're English). Have a chin wag, then ride it to the next coffee stop etc...

In some parts of this country that is the concept as well. My Sunday morning ride includes a stop at my favorite coffee shop, which is also a bike gathering spot (one of the few good roads in the area).

Others like to do some miles so having something to drink while riding is necessary. And out here in the western states it is sometimes quite a bit between towns where you can stop. And some of those towns do not have a coffee shop, just a greasy gas station if you're lucky

So when I have my crash hat on how do I get a drink from a cup without some sort of plumbed in pipework........ just curious - have enough trouble avoiding everyone with two hands on the bars and eyes on the road!!

That's why I wear a modular helmet. My first helmet was a Shoei full-face. It didn't last long after I saw a modular helmet.

ROFLMAO

I do agree on the modulars. Also allows smoking a cigar every now and then too

This is where it gets tricky. Flip the modular chin bar up. Lean back against your backrest or camping gear on the pillion. Place feet on the handlebars so you can continue to steer properly. Then bring the cup up slowly to your lips to enjoy that wonderful taste of fresh coffee.

Cruise control helps when you're steering with your feet -- unless you've got prehensile toes.

My commute is 2 miles, coffe at work sucks so I like to stop or even bring my own. Not so much for while I'm riding
