I only park in allocated parking spaces, in the middle of the space. I try to park away from any cars if possible. If with riding buddies, we share the space, 2-4 per space. I do not park in the same space with another motorcycle if I don't them.

You must be really special to keep avoiding that answer.
Let's see,
A: park in a designated spot like normal people do
B: park where I'm not supposed to and in such a way that creates a hazard for everyone else because I think I'm a bad *** and/or I have something to prove and/or I need the attention?
Hmmm, I choose... wait for it... wait for it... A!
Uhhh... because it's common sense.
Most who do it think the same way you do. You either have an ax to grind, something to prove, or truly don't realize how it makes you look.
Motorcycles are considered "motor vehicles" and have to abide by the same laws as cars, truck, etc. So, would you park your car on the sidewalk, even though there was PLENTY of room for people to walk by and then act surprised when it got towed or ticketed?

Really? Have to abide by the same laws?
As opposed to insulting the parking habits of some on PRIVATE property, DO YOU EVER EXCEED THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE PUBLIC ROAD?
Never ticketed or towed, and given the blessings of the propery owner.
Were you able to understand that, or did it go over your head?

Here in my town in IND the city LEO's patrol the Wal Mart lots all the time looking for Improper parking, parking in fire lane plus Handicap areas and they will do the paper work.

As for the obsession with my driving speed, what a moronic question, IMO. You & I both know the answer to that, but unfortunately, this thread isn't about speeding. It's about PARKING. Start a thread about speeding and I won't be making any stands.
Are you able to understand all of that or does your affliction prevent logical thought processes?
Ahhh, this is fun, huh!?

I do not park in any spots that are illegal and I park in the middle of whatever space I park in. I really don't like to share parking spaces unless its with a friend. People that park in places that are illegal **** me off. Bike, car, it does not matter. If you are not supposed to be parked there, get the hell out and find a spot that's legal. I think it makes bikers look bad to boot since it is actually illegal.

BTW - Walmart is private property that is open to the public just as a bar, McDonald's, Exxon station, and any other establishment. They are privately owned but opened to the public at the owners discretion.
Just saying.

If I am riding by myself, I take on full parking space. I am entitled to it. If I am riding with another rider, we may park both bikes in one space.
Don't get me started on the a-hole cagers who come in after me and take up half my space because I wasn't using the whole thing.
