IMO...if it's not striped and/or marked f/ parking then = NO.

It depends on the location...but I have parked up next to a store or restaurant. Asked a LEO friend of mine regarding this...he said it's private property and unless you're blocking an entrance or walkway, it's a non-issue.

I never did, till one day the manager of the store saw me park in a lined spot, asked me to park up on the sidewalk next to the door. I looked puzzled, he told me he preferred to leave the big spot for a car. So now I dont take a car spot anymore....

Mine has up front motorcycle parking. That's plenty good enough for me.
do you park your 4 wheel vehicle illegally when you go there for service?

Good grief... Can't understand why some people are getting uptight over this practice. Not a lot of places offer "motorcycle" spots in parking lots.

Here in San Diego it's legal to park your bike in between metered cars on the street. But the meter still needs to be paid....so make sure whoever parked their car in the spot has paid the meter for the time you'll be there. Do this a lot downtown San Diego....
