Yeah, there are places like that. I worked for one that had similar rules.

You can ride to work, but could not use it for company business. Like going to a different division to pick something up.
If you were a plant manager or higher, you were not supposed to even own a bike.

A guy I used to work with made it to work riding a snowmobile. He lived 25 miles away and most roads were impassible because of the snow. He still got chewed out. never mind he made it there "to work".

Too funny.

I had never heard of anything like this, but my brother in law just started working for a gas company and he was told motorcycles are not allowed on company parking lot.

My former company had a rule that, as an outside rep, you could not ride a motorcycle to a customer to conduct business. However, people that worked at the manufacturing plants or headquarters could ride motorcycles to work.
