My truck wouldn't fit in the garage if there was nothing in it... FL garages are RIDICULOUSLY small. A lot of people convert them into living space...

Exactly, garages were meant for toys and shit, not vehicles

Bullshit, basements were meant for toys and shit. Garages are for vehicles.

I can fit 2 vehicles and 5 motorcycles in my garage. So

I just got off the phone with the local dealer about a CB1000R (I sent them an email before I decided not to buy this year).

They don't have one and say that if they get one, it probably won't be until next year. Then he went on to suggest bikes that I'm not even remotely interested in.

Why is it so hard to get a bike?

Yeah, I will look more aggressively when it's time to buy.

School me on the Triumph Speed Triple.

Reliability? Parts availability?

Just wondering if they're relatively worry-free, for the reasons I have somewhat steered away from Ducati.

I don't know if you guys have figured it out just yet, but I tend to steer toward uncommon things. Ducati, Triumph, Husqvarna, etc. Rather than stuff you see all over the place.

But, in this case, I'm also not trying to create a bunch of work for myself by buying something that's going to be a headache.
