Cup holder?

#1 Post by k1w1boy » Fri Oct 30, 2009 6:12 pm

... An essential, and sorely overlooked mod for the erstwhile non-car motorist like myself. Has anyone worked out how to implement this functional - if not stylish- refinement. Sometimes one simply must transport a morning coffee from their 5am maccas to their desk ...

Transfer coffee to a pre-warmed thermos flask.

I start the day with a damned good dump. And coffee. Simultaneously. Can't beat it.

Could you not fit one of these to your pillion seat? With a bit of work I'm sure it could hold a cup for you..............
