    Re: Bike etiquette (Parking)

    Could you imagine how pissed the general public would be at a GTG if everyone parked one bike per spot?????


    I can envision an entire bar parking lot full of motorcycles all 10' apart perfectly square in the middle of their own parking spot.

    Next time one of the group get's a ticket or hassled for parking somewhere other than a marked spot let's all do that.
    It'd be a great way of making a point.

    I love parking on the sidewalk, and smile at all the suckers giving me dirty looks cuz they had to park 10 miles away.

    I, too, park on the sidewalk if it's safe and out of the way. I see it as being courteous to the cagers by not taking up their spaces.

    I always thought of it this way too. But they just don't seem to see that.

    I lived in a condo for awhile and had a bike and car. Parking was limited in the lot so I would put the bike sideways at the front of the space so I could fit my bike and car in the same space.

    They apparently enraged some of the neighbors that would leave me nasty notes about "reserving" a spot. They would park in the space with my bike.....then I would bang on their door at 4 am asking them to move their car so I could go for a ride

    I finally parked the bike in it's own space and strangely never had another issue. (but was taking up two of our limited spaces now instead of one). People just don't get it sometimes.
