You ever find yourself in this situation? You're pulling up to a motorcycle only parking space approx. ~15'x 15' and some @-hole parks his/her scooter/bike right in the middle, sometimes diagonal or just such in a way you can only fit 3 bikes in a space that is designed to hold 8+? Gah!

End rant.

I would be pissed too but have yet to come across a motorcycle parking spot with the exception of at a dealer near me, and half the time you have jacka$$es in cars and trucks parked there..... Awww its too far to walk across the parking lot.......maybe 30 feet so it's not a far walk

One of my pet peeves other then that is that there is a guy at work that has a Boss Hoss trikes with one of the car rear ends that backs into the bike parking. He takes up like 3 or 4 spots by himself.

Fortunately for me, Cycle parking usually has cones or concrete barriers so cars cant park there. There's one good thing about this CA state of mine....

Hmmm.... I honestly don't know how I feel about that! It's half bike, half car. On one end I'd be irritated as ****. On the other end, it's technically a bike ???

I'm more pissed when I get some comment from someone driving my car that I should not be parking in a parking spot because I waste too much space. MY usually comment to the 20x10 foot Hummer is that there taking too much room up on the road for one person with an oversized ego, and still manage to not park between the lines.

Either way, you'd be taking up an entire space regardless if you took your bike or a cage. Now if multiple bikes individually took up single spaces next to each other, then I might agree with that person.

I meant to say riding my bike, vs driving my car, but yeah... My wierd parents when I was riding was like you should just take an entire space nd park strait, I was like well I was angling the bike so all three of us can take one... No big deal, and no reason for us to take up three or something in a row.
And heck if it is JUST myself, I will angle my ride diagonally right in the center just so it is seen so someone doesn't try to speed right in an knock it over.

it doesn't bother me much if someone takes more than 1 bike spot in lots that do have them.
Until you're that poor sap who can't find parking and aren't allowed to park in vehicle stalls like I was the other day.
Yep, I can see me going off on the person telling me I can't park in a vehicle spot. Then I'd make them go find the biker double parked and make them move it.
