i either park by the door on the sidewalk or in the yellow stripes by the handicap area, most of those areas are wide and long enough to allow a small road king to share the space. not had an issue with it yet, and if it gets banged by someone pulling out a wheel chair accidentally, I'll take the hit, but most folks are cool about it.
I usually pull up in the area's that have the lines (by handicaps and the ends of rows). The only person that ever complained was an old lady in a corvette and that is because she wanted to park her car there "so that no one steal it."
speaking of having people complain..i had some lady complain to me at a local convenience store before because i was parked in a regular spot that why do i have to take up a whole space just for the motorcycle..i replied"what do you want me to use half a space? then told her that my bike is worth more than the car she was driving and to mind her own business"

I used to work at Walmart in high school and you could count on the same old lady complaining to me everyday about taking her spot with my bike.
I work at the GM delta township plant and they were good enough to do a whole section, prolly25-30 spots long which makes enough room for prolly60 or70 bikes, all cement right up front for the motorcycles...
Our (poor excuse for a) mall has MC parking spaces. In most parking lots here at thebeginning of each rowof parking,there arehash marks painted on the pavement as well. As long as you don't park by the handicapped spaces, the police here are very nice about letter you park there and not ticketing you.

The second says, "Don't even think of sitting on this bike, UNLESS YOU'RE NAKED".
I can just imagine your heading out from a store to see some big fat slob sitting naked on your bike [sm=roll.gif]
I normally just park in a cager spot, out where there are fewer cars, many times by a light post if possible. More for the sake that they are more likely to see the light post than the bike while whipping through the lot.
