Comedy break: Ram Mount cupholder

Post by honkerman »

I made this vid about a year and a half ago. It works, sort of, but not as well as hoped.

When I tried my Ram mount cup holder I found that the drink would spill whenever I leaned into a corner, which is something a scooter or motorcycle can do easily. It handles most corners, but then when I straighten back up, that is when it slouches back and forth and goes out any holes in the top.

I took it off and put on one that you put on a bicycle. That worked great but would not stay tightened against the handlebar, so now I don't have any cup holders at all until I figure this out...which I will do eventually.

Dark roast from Dunkin D's - perfect!
What part of Mass?
Amherst Mass, here.

(That scalding coffee dumps on your leg - things are going to get real exciting.)

I grew up in Woronoco and Westfield. I've lived in Pennsylvania for 25 years, so this vid was shot in Lancaster. I do love my Dunks.

It works best with a sealed container, but I have to use a bungee to keep items in place because they will pop out if I go over a good bump. I lost an Arizona tea like that...and a small bluetooth speaker (I use the cupholder primarily to hold a speaker so I can listen to music). It's just not a perfect solution for coffee and the like.
