WOW did this thread get ugly, can't we all just get along. Guess not, okay everybody grab your bricks and pick a side the biker brotherhood just got ripped in half.....over a parking thread. I like coke so if you drink pepsi you're a duschbag.
By the way are we using cinder blocks or the little red bricks.

I have a handicap plate on my ride & my truck but I have the hanging tag as well for if I drive someone else's vehicle.
I agree but at the time the OL had polished off the liquor cabinet.

All you pissy little fairies arguing over this parking BS are truly embarassing. (Particularly the a$$wipe that had a couple of brother bikers scoots towed just to make some kind of point.)
Sheesh!!

Umm, the entire property is considered private - the buildings as well as the land and it's improvements - the law still applies: stop signs, handicap spots, fire lanes, crosswalks, sidewalks, 10 min parking spots, etc - only difference is the Land Owner has to file the complaint - if you want to pick and choose what you want to obey - that's your choice.

I would think parking on sidewalks would invite unwanted attention and increase the chance of something bad happening to your bike. Like those dinks that angle their car across two spaces. I bet they get damaged much more often than the cars that park regular.

Only once have I parked on a walkway. Was out riding and started to pour, pulled up under the building eave of a restaurant that had a 30' wide sidewalk
Parked it out of the way and went in to eat.
What does bug me is the guys who park in handicap spots that really do not need to. I have a friend that's in a wheel chair that needs that wide spot to get in and out. Always taken by folks that can walk a few more feet.
One guy comes to a car show at a local mall with a reg driver. He always takes the handicap spot, even when there are spots next to it. Pisses me off because he then spends the whole time at the car show walking around
