Who's got a cup holder on their bike?
OK confess...cup holder?

I don't have a cup holder, but I use a thermos cup with a handle when I'm riding with my larger tankbag, a Nelson-Rigg CL-135.

I don't but I am sure the first time someone shows one mounted on their NT and says how great it is I will just have to order one.

I'd just like a coffee thermos mug holder as I wait for the ferry to get back and forth over here, but the space on the bars seems very limited and I can't see where it would fit, BUT, if anyone does get one, please post it.

Lori (et al),
I can save you the trouble. I was sure that the non-locking fairing pocket would be the ideal place for my other thermal coffee cup (the one without the handle). I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it before.
So, before I left to go ride to Wyoming on the morning when it was 24F here, I popped the lid off, stuck my hot coffee in the pocket and hit the road. When I got 15-20 miles west and figured the coffee was cool enough to drink, I flipped up the modular helmet, and reached for my coffee.
Ooops! I could touch it, but unless I turned the handlebars 20-30 degrees one way or another, the coffee cup wouldn't clear them.
Bummer!

James,
The brand of modular helmet you have makes a huge difference. With the Nolan, the flip up part stays close to the curvature of the top of the helmet and you don't have that big old wind catcher like you did with the Fulmer. And the moment when you're blind is less than 1/2 a second. There's none of the yank the head off sensation I used to get with the HJC I had either. For me, the modular is worth it because I can leave my glasses on while I put on the helmet. There's no telling how many times they had blown off the tank bag onto the pavement while I was putting on my full-face Shoei. I'll never go back to a full-face just because of that.
I might try a Schuberth, though.

The question is whether it fits. All the great features in the world don't matter, if the helmet doesn't fit the shape of your head.

That'll probably work. I guess that decides which color I'm getting.

Now that I think about this...all I really have to do is hide it until I catch her at something...then it'll just be detante!
My Bride has a modular HJC and I a regular full face and we love the integraded sunglasses.
I've known several people who are happy with Shark helmets. And that one looks like a modular I could live with. May even make me give up my Shoei FF.
I use a camelback for drinking while riding. I don't care for coffee but I need to have my caffeine and liquids while riding.

Lori, I've ridden a recumbent a few times, but my son has gotten hooked on them. He's got a recumbent bike and a recumbent trike (the TerraTrike). My fourth right knee (counting the OEM + the three replacements I've had) just doesn't bend far enough to ride a bicycle very comfortably.
If you figure out a good coffee cup farkel, let me know!
Andy, on Schuberth's website, they've got a list of dealers who carry their helmets. There's one in Denver and I'll probably drop by and try one on.
Just use a Camelback.

OK, Armando,
We realize you aren't admitting to anything. But just out of curiosity, which one did you get and where did you put the ball. I've thought a bit about screwing the ball into the mirror socket on the left hand side of the bike. Probably wouldn not get the one with the foam rubber cozy.

Armondo, admit nothing. But where would you put it if you had one?

Phil's suggestion would be the way I would go...if I was to admit anything.
