I'd like to be able to take a road beer with me. Where can I buy a drink holder?

Lovely question. I think you should take as much beer as you can carry. I would use a milk crate [WalMart] and some bungee straps [also WalMart]. You can fix these to the rear carrier and have at it.
While you are at WalMart, you can get the beer too; and say hello to all the other idiots who ride and drink at the same time. Perhaps exchange DUI and jail stories. You could have a blast! |

J&P cycles has some in their catalog. You also find them for sale at runs or shops where they sell a lot of baggers.

Or better yet, retro-fit this to your helmet. http://www.zymetrical.com/product.asp?3=830&dc=ov3Q/W/y3bh You could also consider the 90 ounce Camelback. That should hold enough brew to get you to church and back. |

Chaparral or maybe your local motorcycle shop may carry something that will work with your bike. There is one that comes to mind that clamps to your handlebar and swivels as you lean to keep your favorite brew from spilling.

That "road beer" had better be non-alcoholic, or you'll soon be talking with one of theose people who drive the cars with the red and blue lights on the top...
Some Honda dealers sell cup holders for their Gold Wing bikes, but if you have a boating supply store near by, check with them for a cup holder that can clamp on to your bike's handle bars. |

I would recommend a sidecar and throttle lock. This way you can reach over with your right hand and grab a cold one anytime you need. Better yet, water seal the entire sidecar, dump the beer into side car, insert a long straw. It will save you the money for a throttle lock.

Try a boat shop. Or boating magazine.
Seriously. Where do you think the gimbal mount came from? Or, if you like cheap: Weld a bolt to a shaft collar. Thread the bolt into the side of a piece of PVC pipe. Lock in position with a wingnut. That one worked for years. |

Duck Tape or my other favorite tool Zip-ties. Or put one in your shirt pocket.

They say you have young men who drink and drive motorcycles, and you have old men who drink, but you will never see old men who drink and drive motorcycles, ...they never would have made it to get old, but assuming your joking about the beer, Clocks for Bikes has some cup holders that are pretty inexpensive, I bought one of there clocks for my bike, and they are high quality custom made for all makes of motorcycles
