Default Going to Starbucks?

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.

Haven't been to starbucks in a long time. But if I did, I'd start it and roll out of there just like I always do. Who cares how people look at me...

Never been to one, probably never will. Have no use for latte but heard it will clean the rust off a 57 chevys bumper.

I just wont pay $3 to $5 for a cup of coffee... Sorry but I can't tell enough of a difference from my own home brew withCoffeeMate in itto be honest (hell I can even give it a blast of whipped cream too to make it look like Starbucks) and that costs me about 8 cents!

Don't know what a latte is. We do have a Seattle grind coffee shop in town (heard Starbucks owns them now), and damn near every ride I take begins or ends there, but its regular ol' dark roast coffee for me. And when I leave it's like my a$$ is on fire- its the only way to merge in traffic here.

Omigosh... this thread has apparently revealed (so far) a near unanimous trait... "No damn foo-foo- coffee for HD riders!" That's almost as strong as our devotion to Harleys! Some behavioral scientist better document this. I never would have thunk it!!
