I had an interesting exchange last night with a friend-of-a-friend. My wife was out, so I met with a friend in his lavish back yard for a few socially distanced libations. When my friend introduced me to his other friend, we started talking about cars and motorcycles.
When I mentioned that I had a few bikes, he asked what kind of truck I had. When I said no truck... van then? No. He assumed that I needed a vehicle to carry motorcycles. I explained that I had a Ford Fiesta, mainly because it is a small car that doesn't take up much room in my limited garage space, making more room for my motorycles. Before I got into motorcycles, I had a '69 Cadillac, which didn't even leave room for a laundry basket, let alone a motorcycle.
As I made my way home, I started ruminating on the subject. I like having a very small car for that reason, and they are becoming very scarce in the U.S. The Fiesta is gone, the Honda Fit is gone.. I was out for a walk on Saturday, and passing the local Chevy dealer, they had several new Sparks out on the lot. Tiny! But for me, probably ideal.
Does anyone else choose their car around their motorcycles? Or am I weird?
