If you were to make a coffee drink what flavor would it be?

When you are out there on the scooter riding down the road what flavor or mix of flavors does that make you think of?

Would you make it a hot coffee or a cold coffee?

Please tell

Well, when I ride to work during the chilly morning hours, I'm ready for a nice, hot, white chocolate mocha by the time I get to the office!

Hmm, the "flavor" of a ride? IMO I think that is a great way of thinking about a ride. I had never tought of it but it really fits.

For me I guess it depnds on my ride/weather/mood etc. When i am out just riding for enjoyment and pleasure I guess a nice Mint, you know clean, refreshing, open the scenses mint.

My commutes tend to be more of an all purpose flavor like a good ole regular cup of coffee: does the job but not real exciting.

Now if I decide to take "the long way home/or to work, I am back to my mint, Beale.

depends on the ride.
mulholland at night would be more of a "breath taking scream with a hint of dry mouth" kinda taste.
PCH during the day would be, smooth and mellow.

best,

During these coolish Colorado mornings, my scooter ride to work has acquired a warm, medium-bodied brew of fine dark coffee ending with a slight bitter aftertaste as I realize that I must leave my Vespa behind and slave for the man! This morning's ride started out as a nice mocha-latte sort of cruise that quickly transformed into a triple shot espresso to the heart as a car merged into my lane with no warning.

It has nothing to do with coffee, it's all about chocolate!

I'm with you on that one dude. Also 'coffee drinks' should be illegal. Face it, they are milkshakes, not really coffee.

Well, since I resemble that "fruit" remark, I'll give an answer.

Double espresso.

It makes me think of a doppio espresso with a shot of orange. Very strong, in your face & and the same time bright & refreshing.

The perfect ride is like a sorbet fizz: cool, refreshing, and leaving you wanting more.
