jporter12 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Depends. Most of the time, just close as possible spot. I try to park out toward the end of the spot, so that cages can see the bike and not pull in on top of it. Seeing that Ohio has such a large number of bikes (I heard that we're #2 per capita on number of registered bikes) shouldn't more places have bike parking spots?

Disclaimer Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I park WAY in the 'back 40' in lots.Walking never killed anyone, and it's just that much more exercise I get in a day.Plus, no one dings my truck because no one else parks out there, and thus no shopping carts/other crap make their way out there either.

chevysoldier Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I try to avoid lines and sidewalks. Usually I try to park to the back where the cars start to thin out and like jporter, towards the front so cages can see it. I also park at an angle to avoid them trying to squeeze in. All depends on the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually park as far away from people as I can, on the bike or in the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I don't much care in the car, since it's a 12 year old beater these days. I'm lazy and will hunt for a close spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 i park close and usually in motorcycle parking spots like walmart has so i don't sinky. and i'm getting pissed at the number of trikes that i have seen taking up the whole motorcycle parking spot. no kickstand means GTFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost1888 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 At home it's garaged. When I'm out in the city, in the back or somewhere shady. If possible in camera view but I don't go out of my way to find a camera. Most of the time when I'm out doing my daily stuff it's parked at a park or the side of the road.

Rod38um Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) At wal mart, I started parking the bike out back by the tire dept. entrance, its concrete and shady in the evening and then at the bank I try to park in front of the ATM because the camera points at the bike and it makes me feel better about leaving my gear sit there for the 2 minutes I'm inside. Other than those 2 places, I dont park much anywhere else except my own garage. I cant afford my own mexican pit crew so I just do what I can to get by.....

F4iBunny Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Used to park on the sidewalk at work until they bitched. Then they put mc parking in the farthest spaces from the building. Now mind you, I'm a chick (actually most of the riders at work are) and I get off work in the middle of the night. We never use them, just park close as we can. They have mc parking at WallyWorld?

Likwid Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 We have MC parking at work, actually lots of it, but it's at the store I usually have to think "where should I park?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Bike, truck, and car, always parked as far away as possible. I haven't actually parked "next" to another vehicle in years. I make sure of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I usually park in the lined area at the end of the row or make up a spot wherever the bike fits. Worked for me so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
