I went to lunch, rode up on a parking space right up front, parked, went inside to eat. When I left I walked out to find some guy with a blacked out ape hanger had parked in the same spot. OK no problem but he blocked me in! I had to keep inching back and forth to maneuver my way out and still so tight I had to tilt my bike to get across his pegs. Really? Damn dirty hippy bikers can't stand any of them, except the one at the light that waved wearing his shorts and flip flops. I had to laughed thinking about another post I commented on the other day

Good Responce & Attitude
Seems like a lot of conversation over nothing. Never had that problem because I can always see my bike when I park it somewhere. Had people share my spot that I don't know. Even helped them get parked and changed the angle of my bike in the parking slot for them to make room. Not uncommon at rally's and some crowded events. Had riders direct me to park near them at crowded events. Common courtesy's. Also seen ****** guard oil stains just because they thought it was their sacred parking space with that extra four feet on each side.
I go to rally's to have fun and be with like minded people. I always park my bike rear wheel in and very near the kickstand side line. I encourage any Harley (not Honda's) to park in the space to join "my" rally. I do this because it is not my road nor my parking space. I wish to have fun and hopefully the selfish majority of the members who commented here do not attend. Park in the center of the parking spot just so not other biker can park in it? Please tell me you are that person before I stop and help you when you are on the side of the road broken down (I always stop for all motorcycles regardless of make).
I always keep my eye on my bike and never leave it when it is not kept in the garage except when it is chained outside of my motel room or chained & a small cord is attached to my wrist in my tent. I, thankfully, have never had a problem but I do possess a quick temper, a very small amount of understanding, and I am always armed and will settle accounts quickly if the need arises depending on the circumstances no matter the persons size or numbers.
I would much rather enjoy the company of bikers, I find if one goes out of his way to make someone's life easier you can have a better time, and might possibly make a new found friend that you would not have otherwise met.

I've never had a problem with bikers blocking me in, but I have had cars do it. I was at an Oakland A's spring training game in Phoenix. I parked in a paid lot and was unable to find a space, so I parked in a striped area next to a couple of poles. Figured I was safe, I wasn't in anybody's way. After the game, I came out and some d-bag had parked right next to me and they weren't in a parking space, they were in the aisle. I tried to be careful, but unfortunately my clutch lever scraped along the side of the Infiniti that boxed me in. Sorry about that.

Only time I park in the middle of a s parking spot is if it is at a place like Walmart or other regular place as I don't trust the people in cars not to hit or scratch my bike up. If it is at a resteraunt or at any bike place or event then I park where another bike can also park. That's what I was raised up to do. I have never been blocked in, but I got no problem asking someone to move their bike if I need to.
