Default Motorcycle Parking Only

It would be nice when you shop at the big retailers, spots close to the building where a cage could not sneak in, tried to post this earlier and could not post.

Yep, that would be nice.&nbsp\\; In TN it's legal for a motorcycle to park on the sidewalk, so long as the bike doesn't impeed pedistrian traffic.&nbsp\\; I take advantage of that law frequently.&nbsp\\; Although it does occasionally **** off a few folks.

lots of places here have it, mostly the malls. maybe 10 or 15 spall narrow spaces next to each other with a big sign saying motorcycle parking only, violators will be towed and fine, its pretty cool!

That would be cool, I have never seen that in Michigan. Makes me a bit nerves to park in the big retailers lots...

I've seen a few places in the Metro that have mc parking. At any Wal-Mart I go to, I always park on the apron at the edge of the store with no problem.&nbsp\\;

At walmart I park as far from the door as I can. I don't want any stupid kids climbing on thinking it is there for you to mount. Most other stores I try and park far away and near some shade.
