On a side note
HOLY CRAP! what used to be an up ramp is now a lecture room!

Sorry only just found this out recently during engineering project presentations.........its been a few years since I was last in WS.

Also you can poke Simon a little bit. He still thinks Harley is a good brand strategy

Thanks - that's the kind of awesome parking we don't need. This guy can consider that he has one chance left.

Hi all, the marking has been completed to extend three of the parking spaces. There should be no additional space for 6 more scooters or several bikes.

Whilst this does give us extra space, it does mean that the gap for bikes to get in or out has narrowed, so there will be a zero tolerance on people parking outside of the marked areas. Please remind people when you see them.

Hi all,
I've just learned that a Triumph has been stolen from park recently. despite being locked with a disc lock AND a U-lock. There's not much that can be done about this at this stage, but do report and suspicious people to AUT security or Wilson.

Hi all - there are two scooters in the corner which are not moving. I left a note on both, which haven't been touched in a week. We are following up this, so if anyone knows who they belong to can they ask the owners to contact me on motorbike@aut.ac.nz

Its not OK to simply think that this is your garage.

The silver Hornet in the corner between the 2 scoots never moves either. Neither does the 750 gixxer, but as seen earlier, it's a person in student lodging. Are student lodging people allowed to keep their bikes there 24/7? That would be my guess to the "resident bikes".

On a cheery note! Thanks so much for the added parks

Those make a world of difference. It's possible to come into there at lunchtime and still find a park. Chuffing magic.

Anyone know who that Hornet is owned by? It has not moved in a long time and I have left some notes for it. Eventually I'll have it removed if someones not going to show, so if you know whose it is do them a favour and tell them to move it.

A reminder - this is not permament parking. I have noted a bike unmoved despite posting notices on it for it to be removed. I will now start the process of having this bike removed and its owner banned.
If anyone know who owns 27UIG please email me here at motorbike@aut.ac.nz or pm me

That's that crashed one isn't it? I'll take it off the owners hands if he doesn't want it, I'll even bring a trailer and take it myself! Let me know

Usual start of Semester update - pass the rules onto new riders and users. The rules are now posted all over the walls, so I will have less tolerance for violators than in the early days before we had markings etc.

Please help ensure we keep this park open and free by cooperating and reminding others.
