Push the bike over to the stripped area. LEt them get a ticket. What you are explaining really jerks me. Are there some bikers that are just too stinkin stupid to realize their stupid ways when they do stuff like that? Yes....cause that always find me too.

Where I work there are few spaces for motorcycles and sometimes a cager decides to park in them. As far as parking in the car spot, I try to park so there is space for another rider. At least here, we are allowed to park on the striped areas.

Two more things added to the long list of extinction in the country: Common Sense and Common Decency. The wife and I went to the local stealership a couple of years ago for a chili cookoff. I purposefully parked in the smallest area of the spot I could use all the way to one side and all the way back, thinking that there would be a lot of bikes looking for parking. When we were leaving a few hours later, a group had parked in front of me with their handlebars almost touching and only a foot or so from my front wheel.
I had a hell of a time waddling forwards and backwards to work my way to a tiny gap and had to lean way over sideways to squeeze through. I was seriously tempted to knock the entire line of bikes over even though they all had stickers from the local chapter of the Enforcers MC. Damn... you would thin a Club consisting mostly of LEOs, firefighters, and Military personnel would have at least a LITLE courtesy.

As to the OP, I don't know...we park more than the alotted amount of bikes in the spots when needed. Of course we all know each other and are cool with it.

We also have people complain that motorcycles don't deserve our own special parking. Oh well! DEAL! I tell them I don't make the rules, I only follow them. We have limited parking so the company took a few regular parking spots, drew lines down the middle, and now 4 bikes can park in a regular spot, instead of using 4 spots.

It does work. I used it at work once. Sport bike parked between my work van and a pickup, PARALLELL PARKED mind you. Good thing for him I had to put a few things in the side door and saw the bike in between. I couldn't see it in the mirrors. Got the van out without crushing the bike and put the postit note on it. He never did it again.

I will never pack in the same spot with a bike unless I am with the other rider. I would never dream of parking in some's spot that I did not know.

there has got to be a way for you to park your bike that will leave you ample space to get out. a little crooked on the end, or at the back of the spot so you have plenty of room to get out. They teach us to ride defensively, why not park defensively too.

I do this everyday when I ride my bike as well as driving my Excursion. I always try to park out in no man's land and in an end spot, hugging the curb. Of course there is always some jack *** who parks next to me and takes up my cushion space.
