Get a thermous, put it on the bike. Stop at a peaceful place, have the coffee and enjoy the ride,
Continue riding wherever.

Best coffee is the black tar you get with your omlette at a truck stop. 0.65 with free refills. I just don't understand $5 for a cup of coffee. I've tried it, but still not my thing. I usually will go for a Dew in the morning for a caffine fix.

I don't go to Bucky's. I can't stand the skunk smell of their coffee.
Peet's is much better.
But the stuff my wife brews up is the best of them all. And it fits nicely in a Thermos, thank you!

After sitting down and drinking your cafe latte do you get on your bike and goose it out of the parking lot while avoiding the volvos and beemers?
I did once and people looked at me weird.
Might be the fact I am butt-ugly...thats probably it.

It's amazing to me how quickly the morons have adopted all the ever-so-cute crap they put out there. Candy-a** junk with twee names at ridiculously inflated prices....Wait, we ARE talking about Harley-branded stuff, aren't we?
But seriously, Starbucks has done with coffee what H-D has done with motorcycle accessories. Tall, Grande, wtf? When did small, medium, and large not become good enough? And what's with the goofy names? When did a good cup of coffee not become good enough? They invented it, geniuses that they are, and much of America has bought into it. I tell you, I just can't bring myself to ask for a "Grande" anything; it just sounds too stupid.
I just have to say no to what amounts to yet another gigantic marketing scam foisted on the American public (who are, as always, lapping it up with gusto). Give me an effen break.
Now, let's stop down at my local Starbucks so I can tell you how I really feel!

RE: Going to Starbucks?
"I love strong coffee and drink the Sumatra or have double espressos at Starbucks frequently. There is one about a mile from the house and it is not uncommon to pull in and see several other bikers there."
That's terribly depressing. Don't you guys have bars and strip clubs in your area?
