    Motorcyclist's coffee cup

    Had the misfortune to be dragged along on one of her indoors shopping trips the other day,boring as fuck and upon entering yet another one of those horrible little knick knac shops filled with pointless crap and knick nacs designed to make your living room look more cluttered i could only roll my eyes and once again wonder why i agreed to go.Always have trouble breathing in those shops,the overwhelming stink of a thousand bars of aftermarket soap combined with the smell of several litres of cheap perfume worn buy the inhabitants of said shop make it suffocating.Anyways whilst wandering around concentrating on not knocking anything of a shelf (jesus they cram stuff into those types of shops) i come across this manly type coffee cup well out of place surrounded by women type bathroom thingsDecided to rescue it,cool eh and some nice old bikes on it.

    hehehe, thats just the start. She has you hooked, you'll keep looking for motorcycle related things, never find them, and find yourself suddenly enjoying comparing soaps and coffees

    Yeah... it ain't bad... what was wrong with your other cup?

    the only shopping trip I take my husband on is motorbike related shopping! Otherwise it is just too tedious for both of us.
    Cute cups though!

    the handle is a bit too poofy to make it a 'manly' cup Does the coffee taste better in one of these?

    The motorbikes are nice, but it's nowhere near big enough for the amount of coffee required to kickstart my brain in the morning.

    Agreed,will be slicing that off then its off to the shed with it to forever reside with bikes/bike bits/tools/utes and be the shed coffee cup,though it may from time to time need counselling over its time spent in the "womens shop",easily remedied by filling it with Bourbon.

    oh what a clever man you are. yes, slicing off the handle is a brilliant idea and filing it wih bourban every now and then is both good for the cup and for you.

    Just put gaffa tape on the handle rather than lop it off. Bourbon, yes!

    I'm with you on this one. The sighing, eyes rolling, "are we nearly there yet" comments, are just a bit much. And then when I've had enough, turn around to find him entranced with something, so then it's my turn hahaha

    Food shopping is the worst though. I sometimes want to wander around the shop to figure what else I needed but forgot, and all I get is a "let's get out of here"

    Cool cup though
