Dude, seriously we all love our scoots but what gives us the right to park them were ever the hell we want them and expect all others to bow down to our ego. I am sure they thought the same thing as you "WTF are they thinking, there is a whole parking lot for them to use!". Voice of reason but what if they threw that same chain around your tire and locked you up and rode away with a smile on their face....

I am just sayin and you asked....
A'men.

A Sailor and a Marine walk into the toilets in a pub. They both start urinating the stalls. When finished the marine heads straight for the door, without stopping at the sink first. The sailor, disgusted, calls out "Hey mate, in the Navy they teach us to wash our hands after we ****!!", to which the Marine replies "Really? In the Marine Corps, They teach us not to **** on our hands"
... but apparently, they don't teach Marines not to park a motorcycle in a bicycle parking area. The OP succeeded in sending the message that he's extremely immature.

Nobody cares if you don't like it...blah blah boo hoo... I see that your maturity level is about on the same level as the OP. Lets make it clear that this may be common on an Air Force Base but it is not common on all military bases... Just because 1 or 10 are doing it, does it still make it right? Trying to set the standard on your services core values what ever they may be, is this wrong? SO what did I say that you feel like I was wrong??? Besides making and off the cuff statement about ALL MILITARY bases as if it was a fact when you can not back this up.

I'll just stick to the threads about the scoots.

When I was in, the cold war was going strong and heavy. And it looked like wwIII was looming nearly everyday. Do you remember a little thing called a line of death from Lybia ? Beirut ? Grenada ? The marines I knew guarded the sub bases. They had their job to do but they would also help anyone out too. I thankyou for your service over in the desert but it doesn't mean you have to be an egotist.

NOW BACK TO THE SCOOTS !!!!!!

Forget it Chief, you are right, nobody ever parks Harleys in bicycle racks and it would be a serious "Core Values" problem if they did. I'm just a retired E-8, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Let me get this straight. You parked your prized possession by a BICYCLE rack in a place for bicycles and you got upset and done some silly thing because a BICYCLE used the rack and it was touching your prized possession?
Active duty! What does that have to do with it? That gives you the right to act that way?
Ya need to throttle back and get some counseling and soon.
