    Hello Fellow Riders,
    My name is Marc Rialon and I am from Palm Springs, California. I recently bought a 2007 Triumph Speed Triple w/14k miles on it. The owner was a "Squid Rider" who put the bike up on Facebook Marketplace. It had a few discrepancies, but easy to replace the parts. Now its up and running. I contemplated on getting a Yamaha FZ1 or MT10. Sure glad I didnt. This bike rips and its so nice to ride upright than riding my other two bikes, 2006 Yamaha R1, 2007 Honda CBR 1000RR Repsol. I also have a 2021 Indian Scout Bobber.

    Other than that, I look forward to reading the forums on here and learn about this incredible bike.

    -Marc

    Welcome from a fellow Yank from the East Coast.

    I was marooned in Palm Springs for almost two weeks in 2001 when 9/11 happened. I was out there for a work-related convention and all air travel was shut down. Everyone busted on me saying "Oh, boo hoo! how bad was it to be stuck in Palm Springs?" No offense, Marc, but if you don't gamble, which I don't, if you don't golf, which I don't and you don't like to shop, which I don't, there's not a hell of a lot to do in Palm Springs!

    Good luck with the Triumph!
