Default Parking
SomethingI don't normally think, but my last trip, I stopped at a lot of place's that the lot was un-even. I tend to park facing up-hill with my RK in 1st gear. When ready to go I just roll back and take off. Please give me some better ideals.Thanks.

Parking facing downhill seems like a bad idea. You got it right.

Facing uphill or to the left (on the side of the kickstand) whichever goes with the flow of the other cars that are parked. What you do sounds like what I do.

Ride safe,

Thanks guys, have seen a velcro strap on the front brake lever. Seems it would help, and small and easy to carry.[&:]
