How many of you eat / drink while riding your motorcycle ?

[AdrenalineRider]

Just wanted to know as how many of you out there like to eat and drink ... while riding

[AdrenalineRider]

I love eating/drinking while i am riding on a straight road as I have a tank bag and just need to open it ... and start eating :D

[CB750F]

Believe it or not I have tried to drink while riding. It's tough to get by the full face helmet. I did try to drink a can of pop while riding a 4 wheeler. That didn't work out so well.

[Uesque]

My full face helmet would make me look like the guy with the drinking problem in the movie "Airplane".

On the other hand, my buddy with the Ultra Classic has cupholders a plenty. He dumped it once pulling into a parking place and his girlfriend managed to get off and hang on to her large Diet Coke without spilling a drop. :o

[Old95]

Not much on eating while riding, but on some of the long trips we take (14 days perhaps 300-500 miles a day) ya gotta drink sometime. :)

[Roadglider]

I don't eat. But on those long rides I do have some water handy to gulp down while on the road.

[bobo]

I usually keep a fifth of vodka to swig on for long trips but i hardly ever get more than 20 miles.

[AdrenalineRider]

Its awesome to learn more about other countries... no better place to learn in a common plat form :D

[TxFLSTC]

It never really crossed my mind. Even on a long trip I got to stop every two to three hours... and I drink then. A friend of mine has a Goldwing and I think he drinks while they ride... it seems like it has a drink holder on it.

[Trash#86]

Yes, I eat while riding, but just a candy bar or a Slim Jim. I have a bottle holder that holds a 20 oz bottle just fine.

[VFRnGTP]

I've been known to snake the hose from a Camelback up through the full-face helmet from time to time on longer rides....no eating though....that's a bit difficult. I can see it now....ham sandwich hanging out of the bottom of the helmet....LOL!

[2OldHondas4Me]

I'll keep stuff in the saddlebags for long rides, but never eat or drink while riding. If I get hungry/thirsty, I'll pull off the road, snag a bite and a couple swallows real quick, and get back on the go.

I really like the camelback idea though, and may have to try that on my next long ride.

[Matpatnik]

I never eat/drink while driving but I tryed smoking once, it didn't last more then 20 seconds and I even burn my upper lip lol

[a1c_joker]

If I know I'll be riding for more than an hour at a time, I'll pack my CamelBack. I saw my grandpa once ride with an open beer between his legs that was gone by the time we reached our next stop!

[Darth]

I drink all the time. I live in a warm climate and would die of dehydration if I didn't.

[Smith357]

I occasionally drink a soda while riding, only because I have a place to wedge a can securely under the instrument cluster. I have also been known to fire up a stogie while puttin' down the back roads.

[Capt.]

Hell yeah! Eat....Drink....Smoke(sans windscreen),...joggle bags of groceries in my lap...and in my younger days, I've even been known to get a lap dance or two whilest puttin down the road. Helmet??? What Helmet???:eek:
Capt.

[Maico Shark]

These new trike conversions have armrests and cupholders. Riders tell me that a straw is necessary however.

[Forgewizard]

I got a helmet with one of those flip up "jaws" and really like it while driving in town. I've often thought about getting a drink holder for a water bottle but I like the camelback idea! I've used one when doing endurance and wagon train rides on the horse - don't know why it didn't occur to me to use it on the bike. :confused: Thanks for remindin me VFR!

The Camelback will be great for long hauls, but its also nice to pop in to a watering hole for a soda or two occassionally!:)

Cheers!Kim

[Lucky1]

your bike should be the most comfortable place in the world for you. you need to be able to do all sorts things on your bike eat, drink, smoke. ill agree with Capt. on the lap dance, however thats only happened on my 4 wheeler to date.

[Nitelord]

Not unless you count the bug that just happens to get under the full face helmet.:D

[deflem7]

I was going to Home Depot to buy tile yesterday and I saw the best thing. This guy is riding past the front of Home Depot on his hog, his skin was like tanned leather with this wife beater shirt... the epitome of a "hardcore rider". But the funny thing was that he was riding with this long ass cigarette dangling out of his mouth and puffing away like it was nothing. I had to pinch myself to see if I was in a movie or something. It was great. lol!

[Capt.]

Not unless you count the bug that just happens to get under the full face helmet.:D

I remember, a long time ago (early 70's) when I was a less seasoned rider, doing the all time classic mistake of riding with my jacket half unzipped. There I was snaking through the CA. high Sierra's twisting along SR 4 leaving Angels camp in my mirrors gaining altitude on my way to Bear Valley...when it happened......a wasp found it's way into the inner most lining of my jacket and it was not happy being there. The first sting merely jolted me from my sense of altered reality as I was taking in the scenery, sunshine, and general beauty of that area. By the second sting, I was dancing and quivering like a cat tryin to s#$t a peach seed. Somehow I was able to manage enough control of the bike to get it over to the shoulder of the road were I became the amusement of passers by as I continue in earnest to shed myself of my jacket whilst flailing my arms about like some madman trying to use sign language in the middle of an epileptic seizure. After finally ridding myself of that critter and slowly lost that panicked look off my face, I mad damn sure that zipper was all the way up before I move that bike another inch down the road. Just another one of those life lessons that shouldn't have to be repeated twice. Then bang.....less than a month later I took one up the sleeve. Bought a new jacket after that. Lesson learned.

[TFee3]

I bought one of those hanging/swinging cup holders, and it didn't work at all. I then bought two straps from the local hardware store and built a bracket that attaches to the two front bolts of my tank and to the plastic cup holder. It looks slightly dorky, but it works very well. I'm thinking of changing it a little so it doesn't look so bad and checking with a local company to see what chroming it would cost. Since few bikes have cup holders, I might have a market! Whataya think? But then, I have a new C90T, and I doubt that some bikes have front tank bolts like mine. Oh well...

I also had a bee incident. It was crawling on my leg when I tried to brush it off without looking. It stung me, and I had a severe reaction to it. I drove into the ditch, got off, and almost passed out from it. I grabbed a can out of my little cooler and put it on the back of my neck. When the blacking out went away, I popped open the can and began drinking it. Ooops, it was a beer! But, who am I to waste a good beer? I sat and drank it, and then went on my way.

[Joe28]

I have a small hydropack, (camel back), that strapps to my waist, (although I strap it to the top of my saddle bag. The hose is long enough to clip to my jacket. When I need a drink, I just bite and suck!
I'll "nibble on something I left in my pocket.
This way I don't have to stop
joe

[TFee3]

I have a 70 oz camel back that I bought when riding my bicycle, but it was terribly uncomfortable, because I got all hot and swetty. Is it that bad when riding your motorcycle? I changed my homemade cup holder by making a platform with velcro on top. I then bought a huge 32 oz cup and put velcro on the bottom. I'm happy with that, but it doesn't last very long.

[Joe28]

This is a 20oz?? one I got at Dick's. I run the straps through my saddle bag top and clip the tube to my jacket.
it seems to work well so far, (3 rides)
Joe

[BH121869]

I usually keep a fifth of vodka to swig on for long trips but i hardly ever get more than 20 miles.

My ultra is fine for both. I can fit the Mcburger and fries in the holders in the windshield and have a cup holder for the rum n coke. What gets hard is smoking drinking and eating while talking on the call phone. My cop buddy showed me how to do it with class except he too likes the vodka.

[oldrt]

:D The fun of riding with a group is th find a great road with a good old greasey spoon to serve up something you do not eat at home -

[BH121869]

your bike should be the most comfortable place in the world for you. you need to be able to do all sorts things on your bike eat, drink, smoke. ill agree with Capt. on the lap dance, however thats only happened on my 4 wheeler to date.
I agree with you. When I'm on a long trip I like my Ultra. Cig lighter, radio, great seat, windshield n fairing, cup holder, hard bags, back rest, all add up to a great day on the road.

[Riverdog]

I ride to work (weather permitting) and gotta have my coffee. The Goldwing sports a cupholder so it's no problem.

[TFee3]

I sure wish my buddy would get into high speed internet so he could read some of this. He's one of those guys who won't even hang a GPS on his bike. I'm in the process of hanging all kinds of things on my C90T to make it more comfortable for cruising.

My biggest bigaboo about my bike is the gas tank. 3.7 gallons just isn't enough. Had Suzuki put "real" exhaust pipes on the bike, they could have increased the size of the tank considerably by using the space behind the tank that the muffler takes up. I know they have an aux tank that can be added behind the regular tank when the pipes are changed to aftermarket, but they're so blasted expensive for no reason. It would be nice if someone came up with a replacement tank that's larger. I would be happy to change the pipes then. In fact, heh,heh, it would give me an excuse that my wife would buy!

[Beatnig]

I had a girlfriend that liked to feed me while i was driving.
I guess she got bored, and us up to any activity... the thing is the helmet puts some pressure on your face, so i would end up chewing my mouth...

smoking, and drinking while driving... well I miss those days... all of my friends got married or something, so that kind of finished... sniff

[BH121869]

I just read an article on the dangers of drinking while riding or driving....





Scared the sh-- out of me.







So that's it!











After today, no more reading.

[Uesque]

After all the kidding TFee about his cupholder, I thought I'd come clean with this one. It's not on the motorcycle, but still useful in certain situations:

[TFee3]

Geez, that's even worse than on my motorcycle!!!! :D

Actually, I'm curious as to why you put a cup holder there. It must be for a special purpose!

[iamgumby]

Watching fireworks on the 4th of July? Uesque, I gotta meet you some day. :D

[Uesque]

Actually, I'm curious as to why you put a cup holder there.

Because I can.

Watching fireworks on the 4th of July? Uesque, I gotta meet you some day. :D

And drive in movies. And tailgating. Surprisingly, where I use it the most is coming back to the truck with an armload of stuff and a drink and not having enough hands to get my keys out. Put the drink there, open the truck, put my stuff in and drive off. It holds well even at 70mph. :rolleyes:

[BH121869]

It must be hard to reach at 70 MPH. Did you make a long straw too?

[Uesque]

It must be hard to reach at 70 MPH. Did you make a long straw too?

It's an Avalanche, so the back window comes out, the front of the bed folds down into the cab, and I can just set the cruise and walk out through the bed to reach it. :cool:

[BH121869]

Uesque
I'd like to see that going on at 70. You don't let the dog drive too do you? Mine wants too but can't reach the gas too well. If I leave a drink anywhere with anything in it , it is gone and I find little black and white hairs on the top of the glass or cup.

[Uesque]

My dog is only 9 mos old, which is a little over 5 in dog years. He's not old enough yet, although he's already big enough to reach the pedals.

[BestMaps]

The only time my bike stops is for gas. On a long day we'll throw in a meal break. I usually toss a bottle of water in the bag and hit it at the gas stops.

[Boots]

No.....never did eat or drink while ridin' but that'll all change after I get my new touring bike , it'll be the first bike I've owned with cruise , I might even do some knitting :)

[Joe28]

I have a short attention span, I nibble/drink the entire ride, (but I have found my road helmet pinches my cheeks and I end up biting them!
Must be from off road ing, but I have a drinking system I carry and sip all day.
Joe
Road Warrior:cool:

[Boots]

What kind of drinking system do you use Joe ?

[Joe28]

For off road and really long rides I use a 80? oz camelback system I got at a bicycle shop YEARS ago. It has shoulder straps. I'd just clip the mouth piece to my chest protector or on road to my shirt.
For shorter rides I got a 20oz? system that straps to your waist at Dicks.
There are a pile of them out there and you can add hoses, shut offs, customize it the way you want to.
When I had my Kawi Vulcan I clipped this on the lid of my saddle bag and clip the mouth piece to my shirt.
I haven't figured out where to set it up on my Gold Wing yet, (I just got it road worhty last Nov.)
When I stop to fuel up or empty my bladder, :) , I fill it back up.
I like to drink all day, cuz I'm thirsty and also I've had kidney stones and don't want anymore!
Old Joe

[buzzardbane]

I'd like to drink coffee on the way to work, but it would be hard riding my Bandit at higher speeds with a full face on. Ha!Ha!

[shortstuff]

I chew gum, does that count?

[Boots]

Joe, Do those camel systems keep your water cool enough in the summer?

[BH121869]

I chew gum, does that count?
Only if your a blond. Then it gets you two points.

[BH121869]

My bikes have trouble passing up things like Hooters or Wing House or sometimes Micky Dees. I like to stop and smell the roses so to speek and usually every 150 miles or so I pull off for gas, a fresh coffee and a smoke. I do drink coffee in the morning if I ride the Ultra.

[Boots]

What do you usually ride BH ?

[Joe28]

No, it doesn't keep it cold. I've seen guys freeze thier camel backs, but,, I figure there's a lump of HARD ice on your back and if you fall.......:eek:
Cold water isn't a real priorty with me, and with the small camel back, I ususaaly drink all it before it, "cooks" out.
There has been times when we've stopped some where for a while and I've come back out that I've taken a sip of HOT water!:D
Joe, Old Road Warrior:)

[Boots]

I hear ya, the thought of drinkin hot water when you're really thirsty.......you'd have to be awful thirsty. As long as the camel pack kept the water cool (cold isn't important - - hydration is) that would work for me, worth a try, Thanks

[BH121869]

What do you usually ride BH ?
My everyday ride is an 01 Sportster. Unless they say 80% rain or it is cooler than 45 degrees. I'm on it to go to work or short trips like 100 miles here and there. I have a 2000 Ultra Classic for weekends and trips and really cold days. Today I took the Ultra for a spin as it had not been out for a month. I like to hit the interstate and just let em rumble. A nice ride to me is Daytona to Savannah for lunch and back. I wouldn't do that one on the sporty unless I had too. Too old and spoiled these days.

[Boots]

Sounds like your Ultra gives you a nice ride BH121869, when you get caught in the rain what type of rain gear do you use?

[BH121869]

I have two sets of froggtoggs but used them twice. Usually it is hot here and rains in the afternoon or evening. If it is raining in the mornings I take the truck. I don't mind getting wet on the way home and rarely use gear except on longer trips or when it is cool. Today it is 60% rain so I'll ride the sporty to Daytona and check outbikeweek there. The sporty feels safer in the rain to me than the ultra.

[Boots]

It's been raining here for 2 days. I'd of been out ridin in it anyway if I hadn't of been stuck doin chores. Why does your sporty feel safer than the Ultra? Are you going to Bikeweek this year?

[BH121869]

It's been raining here for 2 days. I'd of been out riding in it anyway if I hadn't of been stuck doing chores. Why does your sporty feel safer than the Ultra? Are you going to Bikeweek this year?
I got home from a trip Tues and have riding the 35 miles to Daytona every day or evening except Sat when it was an all day storm. It was near 80 Thurs 76 Fri and down hill today with a high of 65 but nice and in the 40's tonight. When I get caught in the rain on the Ultra I'm nervous and the same on soft dirt roads or gravel roads. The Sporty I'm used to it on any surface even when I've ridden some bad dirt paths in the woods long ago. Got to go eat with the wife and friends. Later.

[Boots]

Oh.....that makes since, the Sporty would be better on those kinds of roads. Sure like the weather you're having.

[Robert]

I always stop for food and drink.

[BH121869]

Oh.....that makes since, the Sporty would be better on those kinds of roads. Sure like the weather you're having.
It just handles better for me in bad weather.

[clockdaddy]

A man can never have too many places to sit his beer!

I'll have to say...Uesque is in the running for first place!!
Gee, I wonder if one of those will fit in my gas tank!!

CD

[thumperxstitcher]

My father and i are having a ball reading your thread here, love the bumper holders. I would like to add my 2 cents and say that it is rather difficult to smoke a cigarette at 145. if you can hold it in your mouth it will burn all the tobacco out and leave the paper till you stop then the paper will burn off. I did this as a passenger on a 920 virago many moons ago and have no gumption to do it again.

[gammaqueen]

I have a cup holder on my bike and I sometimes drink my coffee while I ride in to work. I haven't ever eaten on the bike yet. I was chewing gum last night and I blew a bubble and it flew out of mouth. I'm glad it didn't stick in my hair.

[edger]

Your lucky it didn't fly "down" your mouth!!! :D Didn't your mama teach you not to ride with your mouth open!!!! ;)

[PassioneDucati]

Hehe this thread makes me laugh. It´s funny to hear about all the inovative inventions thirsty bikers come up with.

Here´s two crazy ideas:

1. Has anyone tried one of those powered ´drink delivery systems´that endurance racers use (with a tube and a pump attached to the helmet)?

2. Has anyone tried to mount a small beer fridge on a cruiser bike (perhaps you could plug it into the cigarette lighter)?

[louturks]

Last week I seen a guy smoking a cigar riding on his Harley

[PassioneDucati]

Badass:D

[kitty kat]

Unfortunately, my full face helmet does not allow me to eat or drink whilst the bike is in motion. I have to carry a rucksack for food or else put it under my seat and then stop somewhere in order to feed my face.

[Joe28]

Ahhh! If your creative you can consume food and drink whilist burning up the road!
Try a camel back, you gotta fish the hose under your helmet to drink, but on a long ride, it sure comes in handy (except when your the only member of the group that HAS TO STOP NOW to empty your bladder!
I keep a baggy of trail mix, peanuts, M&M's between my legs or in my tank bag top part to nibble on. You can sneak a peanut or 2 under the chin bar and snack on down the road.
Joe
So many bikes, so few $$!

[iamgumby]

So...when this came out orinally I voted as "never" as that was true at the time. Anyway...it was 100F smoking degrees at 11:30 AM today...too early to stop for gas...and I just didn't care to stop. Rolling kinda slow behind two mobile homes "in transit"...so I raised the modular helmet piece and pulled a bottle of water out of my tank bag (all this has to be done one-handed as Bandits have a wicked throttle return spring) unscrewed the lid with my teeth, passed the cap to the fingers of my left hand, drained the bottle, recapped it and stowed it back in the tank bag. I could have done it at a red light - I just didn't happen to catch a red light. And it only got hotter! I heard 107F but not sure how accurate that is. 4 bottles of water and a big glass of tea at lunch...about 5 hours saddle time.

[Phriend]

Just wanted to know as how many of you out there like to eat and drink ... while riding
This sounds impossible... except for at stop lights. :p

Actually, I think I once heard that eating and drinking while driving a car is the number one cause of accidents. :eek:

[GeländeStraße]

I recall Dad wearing an open face with a shield for that reason, when he had the Wing (Had a cupholder). Less of that on the GS.

[Joe28]

I too have removed caps, held them with fingers, open cupcake wrappers, tried to set, adjust my MP3 player volume, open maps, you name it, I've tried it on my bike!:eek:
After getting sprayed by a water bottle, that's when I switched to the back pack drinking system, plus with the tube, you just unclip it take a drink, and re-clip it, (I've since put a piece of velcro on the clip and one on my tank bag, I just pull it off, take a drink, re-stick it in place.
(if your a lone rider, you could get another tube and coupling, a small cooler in a back bag or saddle bag to keep your system cold, and enjoy a cool beverage cruisin' @ America)!;)
Again, the only problem with this drinking on the road, you gotta stop to pee more than the "iron" guy who don't drink! The plus side beside being less miserable on a hot day, parched, is that when I drink a bit on the road, eat a bit, I think I'm more alert.
For us ridered pushing or passing the 1/2 century mark when, "nature calls", you can't put it on hold, drinking 30 oz. on the road only adds to this problem!:D
After 40 plus years of riding, I feel comfortable using 1 hand on the handle bar, I think I can "multi-task" as long as I make sure it's a "safe zone" I'm doing it in. I never fool @ like that in traffic, with a bunch of bikes @ me. This is done when I'm on the open road, a good stretch of black ribbon in front of me.
Joe
I ride, threfore I am!:p

[Xantho99]

there are enough distractions but eating too? geez

[vlx]

often i will fire up a cig at a stop light, but once i get up to speed, it doesn't last too long, lol

[Goliath616]

often i will fire up a cig at a stop light, but once i get up to speed, it doesn't last too long, lol

hehe same here, and yeah they don't last long without a windshield in front of ya. but eating? I am a fat man, I can't hold enough food on a bike to eat, and I only "drink" at home, never on a bike ;)

[heridesatdawn]

The only eating that happens on my bike is between the tires and the road!

[tigre]

I ordered a tank bag with a hydration system in it. I think that should work pretty well even with a full face helmet.

[Oil Doc]

I have leather drink holders that attach to the bars that wrap around my saddle bags.

If I am out with the Mrs. or even for a long day on my own, I slip my cooler into the trailer as well with cold drinks..

Doc

[Maineac]

Don't eat but have been known to drink a cup of Dunkin Donuts Coffee now and again or bottled water when I'm down South.

[mx1andyb]

still looking for a good cup holder. I want to drink my coffee on the way to work

[JCLAMPITT]

uesque is cool...he needs to join the forum

[Gohot229]

Flame away.....but I'm thinking it's about as iresponsable as cell phones and texting. Deffinatly got your priorities wrong on this one, if your so pushed for time you'v got to eat on the run?........ then mabe you should re-evaluate your lifestyles. Can you imagine a wreak with a mouthfull of 'whatever' your eating.... choking and worse..... think about it. don't do it......like I said, flame away, you know it's wrong...

I'm sorry you feel so negative about eating and drinking on a bike. Keep in mind our cruisers are most often set up with a drink holder for the convenience of having a drink on a long ride.
Riding and eating/drinking in town traffic is totally another matter, but on the highway where one can cruise along...well, there's no reason a drink or a sandwich can't be had safely.
A bit of common sense dictates what can be eaten while riding. A candy bar is great but a taco might pose a problem.

[4Raven]

When I was a passenger on a tour bike, we used to buy bottles of water and drink them while riding. We usually rode up to 10-12 hours a day on some trips. Didn't feel like stopping all the time when we were thirsty...or if we did get thirsty and stop and rest, we could anywhere, because we had our water! We used bottles with the squirt type tops on them. It was handy.

Now I have nowhere to place a drink and it gives me a reason to stop and rest a moment ...;)

[slumlord]

still looking for a good cup holder. I want to drink my coffee on the way to work

So just get a hydration system and run tubing through those heated handgrips:smiley_drinkcoffee:

[Peter Darby]

When I got my cruiser last year I bought a bicycle cup holder for my handlebars. The first time I stopped for coffee in one of those paper cups with the lid I found myself getting increasingly covered with coffee as the venturi effect pulled the coffee out the hole and all over me. Then I discovered that after about three minutes the remaining coffee was cold. I know ride with a thermal sealable cup that works well and keeps things hot and cold as needed and doesn't spray all over me. It holds almost 20 ounces so when I stop a get a drink, pour it in, finish off the bottle or cup with a couple of good thirst quenching swallows and I am ready to ride and sip. No food though I just don't like messing with it without a tank bag.

I agree with you. :thumbsup:When I rode an Ultra Classic on trips I'd set the cruise control lean back on the back support, hold a smoke in my right hand and drink when I felt like it using a Harley cup holder. I rarely eat when riding unless I have a passenger to help open say the babyruth as I only have two hands and smoking and drinking and playing with the stereo and GPS keep me busy. I've been riding 51 years and no problem so far. On a dirt or sports bike I'd say no to it all. Beginners should not do anything except ride and add these as time allows.

[67fire]

I keep a FULLY STOCKED Wet Bar in my tank bag.
The ice and garnishes, are in the cooler behind me.
Some of those more complex drinks, sure are time consuming to make while riding. :wink:
I always seem to drop the umbrella's, or they fly out, when I pass them to the next bike over! :o

Eric :biggrin:

[Rev]

I can't imagine trying to eat a big mac while riding, but I have been known to pop in a tootsie roll or something like that while riding. I too have a cup holder on my Ultra Classic, but only use it if its hot and I am on a long trip. Actually I like to hit some greasy spoon and order a meal that gives my wife a shiver.

[Kenz1]

Cup of coffee (with a lid of course) and beef jerky... :icon_cool:

[CharlesW]

My first thought was, "You can't be serious".
Obviously you were and it is a lot more prevalent than I would ever have imagined.
I can't imagine ever eating or drinking while riding but it seems a lot of people do.

I was putting gas in my cage once and heard a bike pull up to the stop light. They were stopped by the time I looked up, a man and woman on the bike, both had ice cream cones in their hands! Very interested now I keep an eye on them, when the light changes he holds his cone over his shoulder, she takes it for him. They went out of my sight about the time he was in a 4 or 5th gear and I see her hand the cone back to him. Awesome!

Interesting.

If my woman is riding with me, she better be holding on to me or she might no longer be a passenger. :biggrin:

Maybe that's why she no longer cares to ride with me. :p

Just kidding. :)

Mostly. :wink:

My wife rides her own bike, so an ice cream is out of the question. With a modular helmet taking a sip of water is easy, when stoped. I tried a camel-back once, didn't like it. I have either chewing gum or some mints - especially after a burger with friends.
I like to stop and take a drink, this gives me / us great photo opportunities.

Kind of hard to do it while off riding off road.

It is kind of nice to stop along a remote stream and have a snack.

I have a plastic water bottle that I jam between handlebars and windshield bag. I regularly drink out of it on the highway. I do smoke too, but only on short trips.
