I arrive to school a bit early, so I always get a great parking. Anywho, later in the day, I was approached by another student who decided to take out his parking anger. I'm told that bikers create the illusion of "oasis parking spots"(spots close to entrance in a jammed lot that seem too good to be true), and that any motorcycle accidentally taken down by a car attempting to park....deserve to be hit(because they parked out of line of sight). Of course I went out to check my bike. Not only was my bike fine, but in clear view. A R1 had parked next to me, and the next two spots contained a Harley and BMW dualsport. We seem to have 4-10 bikes at any given time. It's not like motorcycles are some newfangled contraption that only appeared recently, but it's okay to knock over a motorcycle if a cager is too stupid to scout the spot first?

I learn something new everyday!

People at my work said the same thing to me when I first started..

"Why do you take up a whole parking spot? Put your bike on the sidewalk"

The only thing I said was, if you had motorcycle parking, I would park there. But, you dont.

Nothing was ever said to me again about it. But yet, everyday, I watch people driving mach 3 into where I am parked, only to slam on their brakes. I am just waiting for the day i watch someone run into it.

I had that in Ca too - when I rode to work every day. People commented that I took up a "whole" space. I would ask "Well how many spaces do you want me to take up?"

So the vehicle that is carrying the same number of people...one, but is LARGER deserves a space. The smaller, more fuel efficient vehicle carrying the same number of people...one, doesn't deserve that same space.

So where do we all park then?

Yea the only response I could come up with at the time was a dramatically sympathetic, "Wow! Really?"

Wait, what's so bad about having a vagina?

That's when you kick the person's mirror off and say " well, if you hadn't parked so close to me, I wouldn't have kicked your mirror off getting on my bike. Cars like that deserve to be kicked ".. what a dumbass ignoramous.

LOL what a loser. Sounds to me like you got yourself a Stalker and he only has the bawlz to come talk to you, by confronting you about some bullshit parking space.

...I mean if he confronted you sometime later in the day, he must be watching you. How else would he know who you are, or where you parked.

If he comes at you again tell him to get fuckin bent and that he doesn't have the bawlz to say that to a rider that would make him eat his words.

Don't quote me on this, but I've heard that car windows break just as easily as bikes fall over...am I right?!

hard to believe that the school doesn't have bike parking. you could fit 2 or 3 comfortably in the space one car takes up...
