You know I was going to post this a while back. I forgot.
I am talking about starbucks and other takeout drinks that you want to take with you home or other places. I was thinking about mounting it behind the windscreen and above the tach/speedo, but I have not had time to think on how to fabricate or create anything. Anyone got any ideas???
when I was a noob, I would ride to the local Mickey D's and get a combo like a f%$king Idiot. :cookoo:
Then I would try to one hand it all the way back to work. needless to say I lost a MED sized coke or two in my time. Try explaining a lap full of coke to your boss, just before a sales presentation.
Anyway a cupholder mod that is inconspicious and easy to use would be great just for lunch runs. Good Idea if anyone can come up with somethin.
use a marine cup holder found at boating supply stores
they swivel and wont spill the beans(iv'e seen them on wings and such-hell even had one on a voyager i owned breifly)
Get one of those hats that have can holders on both sides and the straw that runs down. Then mount the can holders to your helmet. There all done

This is what we decided would be best when we discussed this deep issue on the B.A.G.S. ride last Sunday! :thumb: :laugh:
check stores that sell harley stuff.
I've seen lots of harleys with cup holders. They kind of look like a leather beer cozy strapped to the bars. You could make your own easily, go to walmart camping/outdoorsy section and get a cup holder.
Blue05 I was thinking the same thing. Two sodas on either side of the helmet. And you would be set!
Couldn't you just eat and/or drink whatever you bought in the restaurant/fast food place? Seems like it'd be a huge hassle to not spill, especially when leaned over.

Get one of those, glue some strong magnets to the bottom, cover the bottom in soft felt or something like that, and just stick it to your tank.

You obviously don't understand caffeine addiction, do ya'? :P ;)
AM I the only idiot who ran into a fast food joint for takeout and ordered a combo with a drink?
If I am that sucks cause I did it like 5 times.
If you have stick handlebars a cup will fit on the clutch side of them. Lean it on the speedo and the cables will support it. I have gotten many a combos back to work that way, before i switched my handlebars.

When I use a tailbag, I can snuggle a softdrink or coffee in there amongst the junk, and I've done that successfully. But I've never ordered a combo when all I have to carry the drink is my hand! :laugh: :kiss3:

i like my coffee /smokes dont drink except bailys/coffee
Well I'm not saying don't get coffee.. just drink it where you bought it. Or just make it at home and thermos it in a tankbag/backpack/cargo net.
I've got places to go! Things to do! People to see! I can't be chained to a coffee house for long, agonizing minutes! :bs: :icon_mrgreen:
Drinking and riding is a bad idea. alcohol or not.
to carry a drink is fine. but trying to slurp a latte while on the bike is just stupid.
(although when your riding one handed with a drink in your hand, the straw does fit under your helmet just right)
Camel back? :laugh:
Get a canteen, when you order your combo put the dink in your canteen, when your done then you can wash it out.
Do they even make canteens anymore?!?
you can get a back pack and put it in
duh use a thermos they have some nice stainless steel ones these days-won't spill keeps hot things hot and cold things cold,so you could put a cup of coffee and two popscicles in it :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen:
Don't order a combo.
Hell don't eat fast crap.
less fat = better power to weight ratio!
Naw but really, hit the vending machine at work up for the soda kids. Even my mom's programming job has a soda machine in the break room.
I put my cup holder right beside my cell phone holder that is right beside my cd player that are all right behind the passanger seat on the rear fender. Hey If you're gonna be a dumb ass, do it right. :laugh: j/k :dunno_white:

Hmm. and there I was thinking that it was: "I've got places to go! Things to see! People to do!
What, a cup holder? You can just rest that HOT cup of coffee in between your tank and your privates!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
This as been read like 237 times and I can't believe I was the first to say this. :cheers:
3imo wouldnt that be like so agains the law to 1 hand it lol not that i really care but what would a cop do if they saw u
I think if your gonna put a cup holder on, the best place to mount it would be next to the ashtray O0

Typical work day in the car, I get a 20 oz Starbucks Latte on the way in, drink at my desk. Later in the day I might go get another, 10-15 minutes, tops.
On the bike, I have to find a Starbucks that's not too crowded, sit down and drink it there. About a half hour of time lost, making me a lot later to work. Later in the day, same thing, lots of time blown.
More than once I've gotten in line at Starbucks, and when I've gotten my drink, all the seats are taken. Then I'm standing with this big paper mug in one hand, I can't leave and I can't sit down. I've learned if it's too crowded, and I'm on the bike, not to even try.
None of the thermos bottles they sell there are even big enough for a single 20 oz latte. They're almost all a half-liter... call it 16 oz.
Even if I take a larger thermos bottle in, order my latte and decant it into the thermos, it won't fit in my tank bag. I'll have to either wear a pack just for that, or attach more luggage.
Seems trivial, but it's stuff like this that keeps bikes recreational machines, and keeps people buying cars even if they ride.
Dam Starbucks, I'm glad someone make great coffee drinks which they do, but my friends and I were just talking the other day about how much money we probably spend on Starbucks Products each year. I average in at about $1092.00 (about 3 venti iced mocha's & 3 frapps from convenience stores a week = about $21.00) :cheers:

I bet it is. I wonder if they would write the citation for being a dumbass? or probably just reckless driving.
back then I worked down the street from Mickey D's. I had to get through one stoplight though. Thats usually where the drink would spill cause I was trying to shift her into neutral without the clutch. sometimes it worked but if the timing is off the bike would buck violently.

Buy them here.

2qt http://www.rangerjoes.com/canteen-2qt-p-263.html
Note canteen covers sold separately. Actually just goto this page and get whatever you want

Hmm good idea.. just mount a swivelling (is that a word?) screen to your helmet! That way at stop lights you just rotate it in front of you, and when it's green just put it to the side!
(http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~szumeng/Coffee-girl.jpg)(http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~szumeng/hot_coffee_220705.jpg)
I will take one of each.
..eh make that two of the flexible one if its poseable. :)
but i want to know how to mount her to the bike :dunno_white:
That depends. Do you have an open face helmet or not?
oops, I'm sorry did I tard thhis thread? :dunno_white:

When necessary, you can order a small latte, with a two extra shots.
I keep a can of Starbucks Doubleshot in the tankbag, for when I have to ride to a customer site first thing. I just drink it while stowing my gear.

Dude.
I can't believe the cupholder thread can rival a turbo thread..... BWAHAHAHAHA
We are such old farts.
Does it make me ghey that I looked at that magnetic one and went, "Wow that's a freaking great idea!" Yeah it probably does. I'll be riding a fracking Goldwing before I know it. But hey so long as in the winter I get those 94 eletric heating thingies. (The part of me that freezes the worst are, well my unmentionables. Having it be a little bit warmer sure would improve my quality of life.)
OMG I'm like 20, I shouldn't be thinking about these things!
Are Goldwings not ghey if you put a turbo on them?

I was in the market for a GPS mount when I ran into a bunch of motorcycle cup holders so here's an entire site dedicated to various handlebar mounts for just about everything.
Ok. Please no jokes about the cup holder with the 1 inch ball.

My tank bag the Recon 19 has a built in camel back! It was insulated by a little bag that was included so nothing gets wet and the water is cooled all day. One day I ran over to Arby's to grab something to eat while waiting in the Dr. office sat the cup in the middle of the tank bag and put everything around it. Worked for the mile trip but can't carve curves that way.

I've been looking for an ashtray for my bike but have had no luck as of yet.
I dont even wanna touch that one... lol :-X
Why :dunno_white: All the cars just flick it out the window when you are fowlling behind. I just don't see how those "other" riders smoke and ride without a helmet what if the ashes fly in your face?
Honestly, I think smoking is disgusting anyhow!
