Stainless Steel Travel Mug For Your Ride

If youā€™ve been around motorcycles for awhile, you might remember the advent of the motorcycle drink holder. Leader Motorcycle was one of the first companies to offer one, the Roadrunner, way back in 2001. (It proved such a popular idea that we now have many emulators.) For ten years, the Roadrunnner Drink Holder included a very classy all-stainless-steel travel mug. When the manufacturer of that mug ceased production, we sourced a replacement that has served our customers well. However, it just didn't have the ... shall we say, cache?! ... that our original mug did. So we are happy to RE-introduce the Roadrunner with its classic, 16-ounce stainless steel travel mug ā€“ just in time for holiday gift giving!
