Default Space Invaded

Went out to get on my scoot after work and look at what I see. Someone squeezed their Crotch Rocket in the same space as my Electraglide. Now, I dont care to share the space but a damned Crotch Rocket? Gimme a break.

It could have been worse, he could have parked a Smart in the space next to your bike.

He deserves death. You should have waited for him and killed him. No jury would convict you.

Seriously, that sort of thing pisses me off, particularly when it happens in a metered parking space and the guy doesn't leave 12 and a half cents on my seat along with a thank you note for holding a space for him.

The real issue for me is that the genius might damage my bike trying to squeeze it in there. Lack of courtesy and common sense on the part of the squatter.

Actually I thought he did pretty good where he parked, he did not try to crowd you by parking beside you, he parked behind you. At my workplace we park to the side of the parking place as to make room for other bikes, no matter what the brand, in my mind part of owning a "Harley" is to be cool, you don't sound too cool to me...

Squeezed in next to you? Looks like plenty of space and he actually parked behind you. Where I work we have a dedicated MC parking area about the size of 8 car spaces.
In nice weather there will be 40-50 bikes.
