handle bars for easy access while pausing to take in the fall
foliage but wondered if anyone else has a good workable solution.

not British)
some sort of velcro strap at the top to keep the thermos from bouncing out.

Or get ditch the GasGas, buy a decent quad (as any sane elderly person
would do) and throw your beverage in the trunk.

That too. I sewed a really nice one to hold my violin case and tennis
racket when I rode my Ducati to the local community college to play
tennis and in the chamber orchestra. I was good at tennis, but I
promised the orchestra director that I would play REALLY quietly.
Three recreational opportunities in one fell swoop. Life was good.
I also made a really nice 'cello case for my daughter out of a quilt and
some denim. I used to be good at shit.

the back does that count?
wait the big guy would kill me if he knew i was on a quad.
i have an army sack that can fit two hard back guitar cases but
that's not really the look i'm going for (AKA James Bond villain guy
on bike with Tommy gun). ruck sack is fine until you fall off the
bike which i rarely do but ya know i'm old and thus getting more
tipsy.
my gator has a cup holder but ya know it doesn't hop logs great and
sucks at the tight single track...
i like the pvc tube idea might have to fashion up something without
sharp edges. falling off the bike and hiting various parts on the
bike used to not concern me because you know chick dig scars
mentality but
now i'm interested in being able to get my butt out of bed without
the help of hydraulics or a large man named Sven.
So i look at every point on a bike as a potential part to hit me as i
tumble over.
john man i wish i still healed fast like a teen age boy...

Camelbak. Put 2-3 cups of water in it as cushion, thermos on the side away from
your back. It'll act like a back protector.
Go fast. Take chances.
