Abstract

A canteen adapted for mounting astride the cross brace of the handlebars of a motorcycle characterized by a deep rounded groove traversing the total length of the bottom wall of the main body of the canteen, the groove being of sufficient depth and width to completely submerge the cross bar when mounted astride thereof; a bracket affixed to the cross brace having top, front and rear flat faces adapted to wedgingly engage corresponding flat faces of a 2-level cavity formed in the mid-section of the groove when the canteen is placed thereon; a strap threaded through loops in the bracket for securing the canteen about its mid-section; a threaded neck extending from the right wall of the canteen with cooperating screw cap closure secured thereover, the axis of the neck being upwardly tilted in the vertical plane about 10.degree. above the horizontal major longitudinal axis of the canteen, whereby the screw cap closure clears the cross brace to which the canteen is straddingly secured.
