What kind of parking is this?!

[musicman]

In the motorcycle parking on Fort Lane in Auckland CBD this person has been parking there lately. He/she is taking up the space of 4 bikes! :2guns: And just beyond this (just after the parking sign pole) is dotted yellow lines, parking on the yellow lines results in a $60 fine. :argh:

[Griffin]

:laugh: That is hilarious... how do some people get through an entire day???

[Shadows]

Looks like it needs a good pushing over.

[breakaway]

Should have set fire to it

[PirateJafa]

When I walked past yesterday, I saw that two bikes had parked longways beside him/her too - good luck trying to get out mate!

[James Deuce]

HAd a scooter do that in the Jim2 Memorial Park. Dragged it into the middle of the road and left it there.

leave a note asking WTF add an email address see what sort a response you get could be interesting.

Looks like reasonably sized bike, can you move it to give them the message? There is an ticket that parking wardens can dish out called "Inconsiderate Parking" $60. If you can get hold of a warden then lead them in that direction.

Is that a freakin goldwing. Quite possibly if parked at 90 degrees it will jut out of the parking to much, and angled would be good but that would jut out and take up a lot of space. I think the reasoning is that this way two bikes can park next to it, whilst allowing other bikes to park at 90 degrees. If on an angle it would mess everything up due to it being so big. Only way I can rationalise it.

[Swoop]

I bet there is a fugly scooter hidden under that. Best thing is to put a bag over it...

[dnos]

haha your all wrong, that is my new house - rent got too expensive so i have pitched my motorcycle shaped tent for the cheapest accomodation I have ever had! bwahahaha

The 'Betrayal' poster behind is apt.

It started parking parallel in the past week or so, before that it had been angled. Bikes COULD park next to it, I've seen this, but then how would it get out?

[Okey Dokey]

I'd write a note asking that they return to their previous style of parking and pointing out that this way is inconsiderate/selfish. Stick it on the bike or cover where they will find it. I'm sure they must know better if they previously parked the other way!

Well their previous way of parking was slightly angled, so it still took up the space of 3 or more bikes.

Yup. Best option. A nice note placed in a location that the owner will easily find (under the cover, on the bike?) suggesting that parking in a way that allows other bikers to share the park would be appreciated... or they will have their bike moved without their permission. The choice is theirs.

A note left on it should do the trick.

If that fails a spray can on the bike cover saying: "I'm a greedy inconsidetate Slut "


if that fails , use your imagination...

[dwnundabkr]

inconsiderate fuck push the fuggn thing over ppl like this need to take a bus

Write down the following onto a note and leave it attached to his bike.

When he puts it into a web-browser, it will bring him directly to this discussion.

lol we had a guy do a similar thing with an 1100cc beast over at uni

normally we just move scooters/retards out of the way, but this was so big we we're afraid we couldn't stop it if it fell over

left a note showing how we all park vs how they parked, with name and phone number if they had any questions



never seen them since....

fuck it's only a footpath, let it jut out

or considering a goldwing is practically a car minus a few wheels, just use the goddamn pay and display!

parking a goldwing in a bike park is just cheating the system on a technicality....

[Patch]

fuck it's only a footpath, let it jut out
It ain't no footpath, its a lane - trucks do use it

A retard who drives a pos like that is unlikely to give a shit what anyone thinks.

If it bugs you that much, walk across the road and have a word with plod, I'm sure one of 'em will be more than happy to annoy a 'biker'



Or make a big poster, hang it above the retards bike, take photo, leave photo on bike - just in case retard fails to see poster is meant for them.

[Zuki Bandit]

What a freakin moron!

[musicman]

Actually, in the two days since I posted this thread, I haven't seen the bike there... maybe it's a KBer?? :laugh:

[Roki_nz]

I would say they think that you should park your bike like you would a cage

[The Lone Rider]

I believe that is called "parallel parking" :D

[Swoop]

I would say they think that you should park your bike like you would a cage
That means there should be FOUR points of road contact... so kick the fucking thing over.:lol:

[Griffin]

either that or assume it is there as a courtesy anti theft innovation and chain your bikes to it :whistle:

oh, good point

that's where the angus steak house moved to isn't it?

[Kittyhawk]

spin it around on its stand so its parking the right way.....put some heilium in some condoms tie it to every corner of the cover, let it float away and tie pink strawberry helium filled condoms to the bike....walla, its gay! oh dont forger pink streamers cant forget streamers on handle bars etc

[bully]

If it's a Gold Wing he'll be able to key it into the dash and have a browse while the engine warms up.

No? Well they do have sat-nav these days.

[musicman]

If you had a bike of that size, and parking 90 degrees would put it into the narrow lane where quite a few trucks use, what would you do? Genuine question here, because although it is inconsiderate to park like that, I don't know what else he/she could have done.

[skidMark]

Judging by the size of it it seems the best option, i think lengthways it would actually go past the yellow line.


**oh how i miss auckland**

TUI.

[R6_kid]

Try something like i've attached below? Bike covers are only like $30... and spray paint washes off with kerosene.


Also did your pics really need to be THAT big?

if it was a narrow lane, and the bike was that big and I couldn't park anywhere else that was close by for all day and if I angled it a truck would eventually plow into it, then I would park like that too.

A goldwing is a bike, it's a big one but still a bike and very cool I reckon. None of this piece of shit crap. He wants to ride that fair enough.

but by choosing to bring a two wheeled car into the city, and choosing to park like that rather than paying for a car park (maybe use any of the nearby parking buildings?) he's just denied about 4 other bikers from parking there


by the cover placed over it i think it's safe to assume he intended to be there for a while too

very inconsiderate and selfish imo

(and i'd be saying the same if it was a busa or any other long wheelbase bike, this isn't just because it's a goldwing)

There's a Parkright building nearby, maybe 5min walk, that is free to motorcyclists, but maybe this location is more convienient for the rider (closer to his/her work?).

Omg, what a laugh,. i agree with Swoop -glad its covered, bet ya its ugly. Some people just dont have brains:Playnice:
