While at work today my wife asked me to get her some Starbucks on my way home. However I was on my bike naked, I mean "naked" bike, no bags nothing. I still told her O.K. I'll figure something out. Well a couple pieces of al weld wire and some electrical tape later. Custom one-of-a-kind drink holder.

not bad. wouldn't work for starbucks, but when i rode cross country and back, i kept a water bottle wedged between my risers. then again, i guess it wasn't too practical since it was august and i drained almost immediately after refilling it.

I NEVER said it was coffee, and it's not for me. If I pay that much for a drink its gonna have something stronger than caffeine in it.

I wish, but its not really her saying I can't go, its really my fault for not planning it better. But since its mothers day on Sunday I'm gonna blame her for it anyway.

There's something wrong with the words "redneck" and "starbucks" being in the same post.

Well Sean, I'm really not sure how to take that statement. 
Maybe you think of "rednecks" as a bunch of inbreds, that only wear camo, chew tobacco/spitting everywhere, and only drink sweet tea, and sip on burbon and moonshine and therefore are not refined enough or incapiable of enjoying a decent cup of joe.
Or maybe you think of "Starbucks" of yuppie-ish, overpriced fu-fu crap, with sprinkles, swirls, and glitter. Therefore any "redneck" in his right mind would watse his time or money on such nonsense.
However I on the other hand think neither, my parents were from 2 very diffrent families, (some say diffrent worlds, {North and South}) The only camo I have are my cheap sunglasses(hey, they fit and I tend to lose 'em) If I ever use any tobbaco products I disppose of the remanents properly, yes I do like my sweet tea, burbon and shine, But I will drink Starbuck on occassion, even if it is overpriced crap, but I like it simple just a little cream and sugar. 
However I am refined enough to ride a Triumph! 
Oh BTW, as I said it was for my wife, not me and she's as city as it gets. 
And there are "rednecks' everywhere! Not just the South 
One mo thing. there's no way in he11 that crap is satying on my bike.
Maybe I should have titled it Country Boy Engineering 101.
Rant actually fueled by Starbucks, French roast, (the kind you brew yer self)
Done!

Your a better man than me, (of course I do have a drink holder) If I didnt have a way to hold it, I would have Followed Nancy Regans advice and just said no.

I'm beginning to think this has gotten way  I was only demonstrating how capable our machines can be with a little quick thinking. Hey, just wait until I try to bring home a fresh HOT pizza and a ice cold 6 pack of brews, while traveling 80mph down the interstate. Might have to reroute the exhaust to a hot plate and install a turbo to spool some cold air for the brews. Anyway I still believe some of you may think of "redneck" as a derogatory term.

I don't know about the brews, but I found that putting the pizza box in the box the next size up and wrapping them in a garbage bag worked quite well!!

FYI, ice cream in a tank bag = a really cold popsicle.

I'm guessing that's a euphamism.

That's the same as a bin bag, right?

Let us all know when you post the step by Step "how to". Also may I suggest that next time you use red tape to better match your bike

A can of pork & beans wired to the exhaust header and you'll be ready for a pic-a-nic.
We used to do that when I was a kid and along with the folks on a road trip. Of course that was long before interstate highways and fast food restaurants on every corner. Pop open the hood and there'd be a smorgasboard strapped to various parts of the engine. Good times.
