Parking on Grey St

[MrMelon]

I'm absolutely sick to death of this wanker who parks his husqvarna dirt bike up against the ANZ wall next to the bike park on Grey St in Wellington. He aparrently works for the building manager and as part of his contract was given a license to be a c*nt to everyone. On several occasions he's left intimidating notes on all the bikes parked along side the bike park saying if they park there again they'll be towed (is it even legal for him to do this?). The Grey St bike park is overflowing with bikes every day and this idiot is making the problem worse.

On several occasions he's moved bikes that are parked up against the wall (there's about 20m of wall there but according to him only he can park there) out into the middle of the footpath (he did it this morning) and left them there where I can only assume they've been ticketed. He'd better be wearing all his gear if I ever catch him touching any of my bikes. I hope someone slashes his tyres one day. Grr.

I park in the middle of the footpath anyway.

Now while we're having a rant - the wanker with the Harley, plate ending in TUG I think, who parks in the spare space between the kerb and the disabled park. Everyone else parks carefully in with the bike facing left so you can fit two bikes side by side. But he [I assume it's a he] parks there with the bike to the right so no one but him can park there. I hope some disabled person doesn't have very good depth perception.

[MrMelon]

Yeah there are some real winners who park down there. There was some guy on an old zx10 or similar who always managed to park across about 3 bike spaces too. Oh and the guy who always parked his bike so it was millimetres away from the guy on his left.. made it real interesting trying to get out from there.

[Str8 Jacket]

Jeepers, you are angry!! Get his numberplate so that you can find out his name and residential address. Write a well thought out letter with his full name and all his details, DOB, middle name etc and take it or post it to his address. Hopefully he'll get all worried cause someone knows too much about him and maybe he'll pull his head in.
Also i'd contact the building manager and find out if this guy's operating under their guidelines or not. Get in touch with the council parking people if you have to. Make sure that what he's doing is illegal so that way you can apply some "vigilante" justice... like moving his bike and placing notes on it. Or you could just buy a chain and chain his wheels together so he cant leave without cutting it of, give you lot a bit of a laugh!
You've got the Moustachio, now get the attitude, this guy's a punk arse wanker...

[Paul in NZ]

Move his bike out into the footpath... or a van... or the harbour...

[MrMelon]

He's got a big cable lock he locks his bike to the railing with, that's why he parks up against the wall.. That doesn't give him the right to move other peoples' bikes though. I'm sure another big cable lock would slow him down.

[Str8 Jacket]

Yes, it would... shame I gave mine away awhile ago.... Or you could just duct tape over and over and over - over the part that he has to unlock to get the lock open. Oh this could be oh so much fun! <_< At the very least you guy's will get a bit of a laugh, courtesy of the wanker himself....
I should get a bailiff to see if he owes $$ on fines and get them to seize it. That'd be even nastier.... :devil2: . (j/k)

[Drum]

As far as I know, a commercial building's boundary ends at the front wall (the exterior of the wall to be precise). So unless this is a special case, he has no juristiction over the footpath at all.

He could ring the council and report bikes blocking the footpath though.

Its sad, really, to see bikers treating each other this way.

[Str8 Jacket]

Yeah it is sad, but this guy's been doing this for awhile now. He needs to learn a lesson, or get over himself...

[MrMelon]

Yeah that's interesting about the commercial building boundary ending at the exterior wall. When parked up against the wall there's no blockage of the footpath so no grounds to call the council. He's just being a bully so that he can guarantee himself a park, and that's not on.

[Jonty]

Yeah I have seen the guy pulling up there. There seems to be more and more bikes in that park. There is a few ZXR250s and all sorts lined up on the pavement. What I don't understand is that there are parks around that aren't as full. Try outside old bank opposite where the TAB was.

If not, I suggest bolt cutters and tie his bike to a pillar at the intercontinental. Should be moved fairly quicly from there:laugh:

I've had a couple of run in's with this guy over the months. 1st time I thought he was joking & laughed. Seems he wasnt joking so I guess I was laughing AT him...tosser. He has bouts of rants & activity where for a while people park off the wall then slowly they encroach back in his precious space. Certainly if I saw him touching my bike I'd be very much pissed.
To be honest I'm not sure sure about the legals of parking there cause of those columns that allow a bike to be parked there but perhaps can be argued form the outside boundary of the building. Last time he ranted I looked him in the eye & told him "fuck off noddy" then spent the rest of the day peering out the window (I'm in the HP building opposite & have direct view) making sure no towies were parked up!
The overflowing problem is getting bigger, just a matterof being first up best dressed. If you miss a park here try around the block in Customhouse Quay outside either the Bose shop or the undie shop. Grey street bike park also fills pretty quickly.
SHIT, just looked out the window & the bike he's dragged off the wall & into the middle of the path is sitting next to mine. Means I'm gonna have to re-adjust mirrors as people have shouldered past all day...oh well!

Ahhh yeah, tis a guy here at work. I've ranted a couple of times at him to park on the angle but he just looks at me blankly. He's one of these people who rides a bike to practical reasons only, has no idea of the bike culture & just knows where to put the petrol. I'll keep working on him.

[cowpoos]

supa glue in the lock on his bike..... :)

[Str8 Jacket]

I'd so laugh if this toss pot was a KBer... :laugh:

[XP@]

I parked there once (before the park got extended)
came back and found a $40 ticket on my bike.
Wrote a nice letter to the council explaining someone must have moved my bike to just outside the bike park... the ticket got cancelled :-)

[kiwisfly]

I'd so laugh if this toss pot was a KBer... :laugh:
naaaaa, he surely can't be bright enough!

[Str8 Jacket]

Hey, I manage OK on KB and even I wonder if my lights are on sometimes... :mellow:

[kiwisfly]

only problem is if we start shitting on him (now there's an idea...ewww!) is the whole thing begins to esculate & I'm fearful he has some element of right on his side?

Hey your lights are on fine....

Just remember to pull the blinds up sometimes... ;-)

Hmm, Dave Chapelle did an R Kelly remix that'd fit right in here....

As long as things are done legally, like not moving your bike and ignoring the letters he leaves, or calling the Police next time he moves your bike and get them to talk to him then its really his problem.

Thanks Paul! :)

[madboy]

Mental note, next time I see Str8 check if her headlights are on.

[Meanie]

My thoughts as well
Maybe a little smelly extrement over the lock :laugh:

[Bonez]

Buy another cable lock and lock the wankers bike to the railing. Then loose the key.

[kiwisfly]

boing...boing, hmm might need a beam alignment:shifty:

Watch it! Or your headlights may never work again... :bleh:

[Insanity_rules]

I parked there once and swore black and blue my bike wasn't in the same place as I had left it. I parked up in front of that particular brain surgeon come to think of it and when I came back my bike was just outside the end of the row. Thought it might have been some good samaritan stopping me from getting a ticket.

Must have been fun to move as I had my titan disc lock on it at the time too!

[hsvboy06]

All of this just highlights to me why I park in a parking building. Sure, it costs me $2.50 per day, but for that I get to park under cover and well away from the general public. There is a big space and I'm always the only bike parked in it.

[onearmedbandit]

Surely there is a law regarding interferring with other peoples property...

Even if the other bikes are illegally parked he has no right to touch them, only to call the council. Report him to the police for interferring with other peoples property. Simple.

Sure is

You toucha my bike, I breaka you face

[Lord Derosso]

Was thinking about that yesterday. Reckon it comes under Interfering with a motor vehicle AKA car conversion but bike style. Ring the cops.
Did manage to see the bike park this morning going pass on the bus and see the two pillors but they are nowhere near the actual designated bike park itself. Needless to say though he shouldnt be moving other peoples bikes so he can then park an illegally parked one in place. He shouldn't be touching them at all. Perhaps you guys need to all sign a letter and get his workmate to deliver it to make it clear that he will be dobbed in to the cops if he keeps doing it. Furthermore what about his boss?? What happens if all the bikes get tipped over because of him? I leave my bike at home as I have had others knocked over or damaged at these parks mainly by scooter types whom dont believe the wind can waste them. Never park near them if I can. That park looked full even at 7.40am.

[bert_is_evil]

The new park in Johnston St is huge and usually not full, might be worth walking the extra couple of blocks

[sedge]

Stop giving away all the parking spots or people like me who start at 09:30 ish will have to walk from frecking mars to get to work... Mars I tells ya !

Hey Melon... Stop reading KB and do some study ya slacker.

Sedge.

[QUOTE=sedge]Stop giving away all the parking spots or people like me who start at 09:30 ish will have to walk from frecking mars to get to work... Mars I tells ya !


Dead right Man ! Notice no one esle has been saying where they park and though I rarely bring the bike to work, my park is also crowded by 8am. Theres one outside the Ministry of Defence thats often only half full though and always space in the main one opposite the central library of course. Then theres the main factor turning up soon called 'Winter' so theres going to be 75% more parking for diehards and fools whom have already lost their vitals anyway.

Hey! I thought it was?

"Wanna punch in the face?":killingme

[crazybigal]

put a disc lock on his front disc, worth the $$ to see his face when he bails off!

Theres always space next to the husqvarna on grey St. :)

Thankfully I dont have problems on where to park, only issues about whom parks next to me, and how friggin close they park. So close I cant stand the bike up. Annoys me......

[Str8 Jacket]

Hey! I thought it was?

"Wanna punch in the face?":killingme

You want your stuff back, right? :bleh:

[Titanium]

I hate tossers who touch other peoples stuff. No matter who they are. This person is weak and hiding behind some asumed power.

I do not live in Welly, but travel there each week, I would gladly donate a locking mechanisim to fuck up this persons day, shit I would give 2.

This would make me a tosser who touches other peoples shit though.......

So ..... stake this punk out and sort it, give him a clear message........ then if nothing changes, brake fluid on the paint job, water in his oil, lock his bike up real good with cables and shit.

If they are reading this, piss ant bully, come play with the big boys and get it sorted. You fucking :tugger:

Out.

I suggest we have enough anger, threats, 'promises', and support for you to print off this thread now and leave a copy on his chair at work perhaps? Unless he wants us to set the ladies mod squad onto him?

[apteryx_haasti]

Hi all, I was telling my brother about KB and this thread in particular. He suggested something they used to do to pushbikes at his school. Find a bit that comes out, drop a piece of raw meat in it, sit back and wait....

They used to take the seat off and drop it down the stem (no, I don't know why...boys...) about a week later...whoooo heeee! I don't know about this Husky bike, any part that's easily removable to add a bit extra? Guy sounds like he deserves it.

[Colapop]

Supaglue - best option. Quick, painless and no-one will pull ya up for it!
