I live by Diamond Head, on Oahu.
Virtually every morning I use either the 900 Monster or my beach cruiser to go
get my coffee
here's the question:
where can I attach a 17 ounce thermos on my bike?
For the last few days I have wrapped a towel around the thermos
and placed it between the fairing & bars (scary huh?)
thanks for reading
Aloha
You mean yours didn't come with the stock starbuck's coffee holder ???
It's been asked. Here are some answers.
In a pack.
Velcro straps to the fork leg.
In a pack.
Strapped to the frame at the grabhandles.
In a pack.
Strapped to the frame on the side of the bike below the tank.

Between the fairing and the bars where you keep it now.

In a tankbag.
In a tailbag.

In a pack... I guess that would work :o
I did think about attaching a small bag on to the trelis frame under the tank.
But the previous owner warned that the rear cylinder needed the airflow? :-\
Thanks
i have a small pouch right after where your calf touchs the frame. on the subframe actually. never bothers me and i keep all my stuff in there when i go for rides.

That isn't very convenient AT ALL
I don't understand this at all. :-\ :-\ :-\
Surely the point of going to get a coffee is to drink it when you get it. Not hop back on your bike and ride off. Its not as though you can drink it while your riding as you might while your driving a car....... there's something about a full face helmet that gets in the way of your mouth [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
I don't know but

seams like the best place for it. [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] Spidey
Surely there's somewhere close by the coffee shop where the view looks out on the breakers at Diamond Head!.... Maybe I've solved my own puzzlement because that's where your taking the coffee to drink!... Why not partition the coffee shop to relocate to somewhere with a view ;D ;D ;D
Seriously? a cup holder on a Ducati? you realllly wanna fit the stereotype that well?
I use small bungee straps to attach 4"x12" shipping tubes to the trellis frame when I need to go to the post office. It looks funny when I do it but hay sometimes you just wanna ride no matter what, I'm sure it would work with a thermos.

Maybe he takes it to work...
Before my Chrome Messenger bag, I would hold my McDonald's value meal bag (drink included - no ice of course) in my teeth when commuting between work and school. MickeyD's was only a mile from school though. Not recommended. You should get a backpack!
Two people point out the butt-stuff, but no one noticed this gem?

I find the bendy straws work the best for drinking with a helmet on [evil]
Camel Bag!! ;D
I keed, I keed. Just go with a thermos on a bag, be it a back pack, a tank bag, tail bag, etc., etc.
BTW, I've taken coffee to work in my thermos. I just stick it in my bag and go. I like to have some good coffee after a cool morning ride to work in the fall. IMO It's not an unreasonable thing to do. [coffee]

Yeah, I am blessed!! [bow_down]
Coffee at the cliffs of Diamond Head is great in the morning before it gets too hot.
I usually go in just jeans & t shirt...top speed is never more than 30 mph
I think I am going to go with a quick release type pouch/bag attached to the frame, under the right side of the tank
Guys thanks for the replies & the entertainment!!
Aloha

Not good. 30 MPH is still more than enough to mess you (and your naked skin) up big time.

I thought at first glance you said douchebag. [laugh]
Then I thought that might work for you. Kinda like the predecessor to the camel back. ;D Especially since you are talking to this crowd about putting a cup holder on your duc.

Yeah, tough crowd here!! 8)
But it's all good, I like hearing all the opinions & suggestions.
Thanks
I, like others here, like to enjoy my coffee at work.
I'm an ice coffee drinker and luckily a co-worker also is.... so in the morning I drop her a text when I take my bike and she is nice enough to pick mine up and bring it to work.
I have looked into strapping something to the bike but haaven't found a solution yet.
I think this (http://www.glassact.com/)is what you are looking for [thumbsup]

This is all about fun for me!!!
I dont pretend to be a racer...although I did race motocross years back
this just a glorified moped for me...maybe a little deeper exhaust tone!!
I do enjoy it !!

I know I've seen thermos bottles that came w/long straps on 'em, for slinging over your shoulder...

First of all, I DO fit the stereo type that well :) I love my coffee and will do most anything to have it when and where I want.
Haven't tried it on the Duc, but the Beemer has two good sized, deep compartments just forward of the handlebars built into the fairings that are great for holding a cup or thermos. Leaving for a trip at 7:30AM in 35 degree weather I can assure you is made infinitely better by a good sized cup of HOT coffee at your side.

Ouch! I am wounded. Have you taken it up to 9k yet? [evil] Moped, my butt. ;D
Isn't the whole point to stand next to the bike while you drink your coffee? I mean, I just trailer the bike to starbucks, drink my coffee while people admire my coolness, then trailer it back home.
