I can just see the first lawsuit now :lol:

I was riding down the highway with an unopened beer in the holder. I got to some lights and needed a drink so i opened it. the resulting explosion of beer out of the can meant most of it landed on me and the ground. So i bent down to the tarmack to hoover up my beer.

Thats when the truck hit me.

And thats why i wanna sue Bearfootwillies, if it wasn't for their damn gadget i wouldnt have wasted a beer!

The only way you could use one of those in the UK is wearing an open-face lid (in the states, lids are mostly optional!).

If anyone is considering wearing an open-face lid, they clearly haven't seen what can happen to a person's head in an off when wearing one!!

Hahaha that's what's wrong with my life...!

Design flaw.. bike = lean... cup of coffee = ground..

Oh i forgot it's for Americans who's max degree of lean is 12..

all depends on how fast your going through said bends, as centrifugal forces willl keep said liquid in the cup.:drink:

But in the UK it's against the Law to drink and Ride.:rambo:

Awesome!!! I now have somewhere to put my cup of tea!!!
The amount of cups I have lost!!! They just won't stay on the tank no matter how much blue tack I use.

Excellent idea for a cruiser. Drink just needs a lid for accelerating and braking mostly, take it easy and cornering would be fine due to centrifugal force.

When the Soho massive get moved on from Frith Street this occasionally causes a problem with full cups of latte / tea and other substances.

All of which are now solved.

Genius.


Jambo

P.S the genius solution may well not work on faired bikes with clip ons, but I like the general creative direction we're going for.

+1. I think perhaps I can get my dad to weld on a lug to my subframe to fix one of these cup-holders

Not really as I sometimes buy a coffee and find its still hot half an hour later. Or what about a Frappachino. Or a flip front helmet like a Caberg and take a sip at the lights :p

One of the benfits of a full face off-road style is you can get chocolate bars between the chin piece and your face.

I used to wedge coffee cartons down the plastic on my GS :lol:

RAM do a far better one of these, SELF LEVELLING!

PMSL, this just gets better. First a cup holder for the cruiser brigade.... now a cu holder for the knee down brigade, lol.

Must get one of these, then i gan get up 10mins later an drink my tea whilst riding to work.
For the other side I reckon i can expand the principle to mount a bowl for my weetabix. I just need to fins a design for a spoon that I can use with gloves on.

Electrical experts amongst the org, is the SV wireing up to running a toaster?

Excellent! I was just thinking this morning how I'd like to have a cup holder for the summer or having a cuppa on the commute. I've got a flip lid and the 'alp is easy to ride one handed.
