Drink holder

[Fla_rider]

Not to be a buzz kill on this thread but drinking anything and riding a motorcycle at the same time seems way too dangerous to me. Being thirsty while riding is just a good excuse to pull over, stretch your legs and enjoy your beverage. I'm a little surprised that it's not considered distracted driving by law enforcement.

Must be nice to live somewhere that the heat doesn't dehydrate you before the tank is empty. I drink liquids while riding every 15 minutes. It's no more distractive then changing the radio channel or checking my mirrors? If you use a straw your eyes don't even need to leave the road. If I pulled over everytime I got thirsty I'd never make my destination. Granted -I wouldn't take a drink on the Dragon.

If I get that thirsty, then I just stop someplace and get a drink. We do have bags on these bikes which can hold a small soft side cooler with a few drinks of choice. That's just me.

I am seriously thinking about a camel pack system with the bite tube.

I have tried these under a jacket, no one can see it. However there were two things that I didn't like.

1. The water would get too warm too quick! Although it did feel good on my back.
2. Strap prevented good air flow around my upper torso.

I do have a cooler that will fit in the bags it wil hold about 8 bottles of water while riding in Florida that would be just enough for me till noon.

Then it's time for siesta, or a proper establishment with a nitrogen based hops & barley beverage.

Which is all fine and dandy when you are riding alone or w/a bud or two but when you are riding w/a group of 12 and the group leader likes to ride 100 - 150 miles between stops, not so much.

Ok, what kind of a consensus, of what drink holder that I should consider, did we come with?
