i'm tired of putting my drink between my legs

Anybody have a better way?cupholders?

I had one I bought for a boat and never put on. It swings which might work on a bike. I'm going to look for it when I get home. Lately I've just kept water in the glove box in a bottle. One of the guys in our group has one on the hump by the gas lid, it is just screwed into the plastic and seems to work pretty well.

I need to get something too. Since I installed Dennis's gps mount I still have the old one that mounts on the handlebar, so I'm thinking of getting a cup holder that mounts on that. Does anyone know a web site to buy cup holders on a gps mount that has a ball on the end? Thanks.

I think RAM Mounts do one or two.

Worth a Google.

We use the rehydration backpacks over here. In summer you can fill them with ice and water and just suck on the pipe whenever. The one I use is good for 2 liters, tho I usually only use half of that. Saves fumbling around for a bottle while on the move.

Search the web for "bar buoy" It has a small plastic disc about the size of a half dollar that you screw on to the bike.

Then the cup holder attaches to that when you need it.
Store it away wen you don't.

Way too complicated. Doesn't anyone simply pull over and have a drink somewhere nice and scenic anymore.

Time for like minded people to stop and have a chat. Works for me.

I use the Camelbak Mule ( http://www.camelbak.com/sports-recreation/hydration-packs/mule.aspx) 100 oz or 3 L

The Mule has 600 cu inches of storage space which is convenient for off SWing usage.

Geeze Waspie, its hard enough to get the group to stop for a whizz... Besides there is always a problem of dehydration while riding in our hot climate. Also there's not that much to look at as far as scenery goes, so stopping for more than five minutes is a great treat for the flies.
And Honda_Silver, I use a local branded (probably Chinese tho) Malvern Star backpack with a generic bladder. The backpack has a couple of small compartments for wallet etc and a slightly larger one which would suit a digital camera. Its big enough to carry an apple or two in the bladder compartment too.

That's the one we've been looking at. I found it at campmor.com for a really good deal, if anyone is interested. We haven't ordered it yet, though.

Thanks, Bill.
