Big As An 'Apocalypse Now'-era Brando, It's The 2010 Triumph Thunderbird

It's been 60 years since the Triumph Thunderbird came on the market, and oh so much has happened. The famed British motorcycle manufacturer became the bestselling marque in the U.S.... before its business was obliterated by the Japanese and it went bankrupt.

Across the lounge he witnessed a lady pick up her myriad of bags, sling them over her shoulder and prepare to make a beeline for the plane. The idea for the LugCup came after John was sitting at the airport waiting to board his flight. John Sparks, an Alabama-based entrepreneur, today announces a unique and multi-use cup holder. As John explains, this easy attach/remove mechanism began to give him ideas:. “I'll admit, the LugCup was originally designed just for airport luggage. It's quick to attach and remove, yet strong enough to hold even the biggest of lattes while waiting for the inevitably-late plane to arrive.
