This morning on the way to the office a rider on black Vespa scooter pulled up next to me at a stop light. I acknowledged him ~~ he acknowledged me. As he turned right I noticed that inside of the "fairing" ~~ I'm not sure if that is the right word or not ~~ there was a latte holder for his morning latte. My first response was ~~ I guess that is what separates scooter riders from motorcyclists. My second response was ~~ man, I wish I had a latte, it's cold!

They make leather drink holder for motorcycle, I have seen them but don't remember where.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Saw a guy once on a T100 stick a stirofoam coffe cup in the wires of his handle bars. Dont know if he made it home with out spilling any. 
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Make sure you remove the straw from your latte or you'll end up wearing it. "Venturi", triple shot, vanilla latte, extra hot !! 
- I love the rain the most when it stops.

I've actually only put a cup of coffee in there once...brought it from home and used some dixiecup thingy with a lid that the gf bought a pack of. Kept getting "rain"drops on my goggles and couldn't figure out how it was only raining on my face but not on the windshield... only occurred to me about halfway to work what it was doing. When I got to work I had brownish stains all over my face and my left knee.
So now I only use it for water bottles less than 3/4 full or closed beverage containers.

I spent an Afternoon at Street Vibrations in Reno, and one of the vendors there had coffee mugs and cup holders for pretty much any bike out there. They were nice and chromed (and expensive). IIRC, some of them were even heated.
FLINTLOCKS!
All else is just a crutch for the lazy or inept.
