You learn after just ONE time with semi-open top beverages (especially if carbonated) that they WILL boil over and run down your tank. ONLY a fully-capped beverage is [possibly] usable. I say "possibly" because I ride with a full-face helmet. Having a beverage to go is great, but I rapidly learned that: Lesson #1 - it MUST have a straw -- to get under the chin bar. Oh, and I learned Lesson #2 on a trip to WA/OR, during the fresh cherry season. A roadside stand had delicious fresh cherries, so my friend and I bought a pound each, stuffed them in the fairing pockets, and continued down the highway, munching cherries as we went. On the highway, I quickly discovered Lesson #2: It is quite difficult to spit out cherry pits with a full-face helmet with the chin guard an inch [or less] from your mouth (gracefully or otherwise). There is no "spit" - it's more of a "huhhh", and hope it doesn't drizzle down the side of the tank. Lesson learned. Eat while stopped. Drinks for the ride -- well, think ahead about how this might play out... 🙂

Excellent comment, my friend, quite exemplary, I'd prefer grapes over cherries, but you made them sound so delicious. Now I want some...

I’ll never understand people riding motorcycles and trying to do stuff you do in a car, like drinking coffee. You just couldn’t finish a small cup of coffee at the shop or home? I guess that looks cooler doing it on a bike, especially if you’re from Jersey. Sopranos? LMAO!!!

You're right. However, I have just left a restaurant and had coffee to go, never again...Sopranos = NJ to all non north easterners

I love this bike
