Motorcycle parks?

[DarkLord]

Hey all, quick question -

I was in town the other day and I praked the whoflung sprotsbiek in one of those yellow MC parks. It was an angle park and right alongside regular carparks. As soon as I left someone in an SUV pulled in there straight after me. I let it go at the time as I didn't need the park anymore anyway.

My question is - are cars allowed to use these parks at all when they do not have motorcycles in them? Or are they strictly for motorcycles only, regardless of whether they are occupied or not?

Cheers

Motorcycles only. But that doesn't stop RSTs (Remuera Shopping Trolleys) from parking wherever they @#$% well please. They will only get a ticket for parking in a disability spot, so no penalty for mothers/prams/motorcycle spots.

Aren't the bike parking spots usually too small for cars to park in anyway?

[DarkLord]

Not this one. It's in central Taupo, and the same size as a carpark, and right next to the carparks too.

So I would be within my rights as a motorcyclist to politely inform said car driver that they have to move their car so I can park there if I had nowhere else to park?

[R6_kid]

In my experience they've always been about the size of a normal carpark but of course depending on whether it is parallel or angle park you can fit between 3 and 7 bikes in one car spot.

I would ask them to move even if ther were other spaces available. i dont like people taking what isnt their's

Too bloody right. My two cents minus inflation...

[Gubb]

Fuck talking. Slash the tyres.

[DarkLord]

Ok. Now that I know they cannot park there, I shall ask the next one to move. Or leave a subtle note on their windscreen.

[Gubb]

Or get slashing!

I always liked the "next time you want to park so close, leave a fucking can opener so i can get out" :laugh:

my partner had that left on her windscreen. :bleh:

I think I have to agree.

You can't be subtle with Taupo drivers.

Especially if they are in a SUV.

[CookMySock]

There is ALWAYS somewhere to park a motorcycle. I'd just park on the footpath or in a garden. Shrug, its not worth getting wound up about.

......... Soooooooooo, you keep a vivid in your pocket, do you?:whistle:

[Hiflyer]

off with the wing mirrors.

[DarkLord]

Thing is though, Taupo is a smallish town, it may come back to me if I do that...

Good idea about the vivid in the pocket though I may well just get one especially for that purpose :p

Better yet, as most bikers are labelled as raping/pillaging murdering thieves as it is, further the stereotype by smashing a window, leaving a handwritten note on the drivers seat, with a fresh laid turd to hold it down..

Seems fair to me, they take your park, you shit in their car..

First option is to let the air out of all four tyres. Only takes a little stone and about two minutes.

The other [rather better] option is that you use your bike to park them in, and then sit down very conspicuously nearby with camera in hand. Refuse to move your bike to let them out. Keep the camera to hand so they know if they try anything it'll all be going straight to the cops. Even take some pictures of them/their vehicle while they're there, just to make sure they know. Fuck 'em. :niceone:

Geez you lot, just park elsewhere. Why the stress? Bikes fit in any tiny little gap.

ive seen a few cars using the bike parks in our main street. since i dont use them unless im in a rush, i just let it go. we cant park behind them here, as that would put the bike right in the road where itd like get run over.

by that same token, ive often seen idiot scooter owners parking their bikes in car parks... right up against the kerb, so often a car will be halfway pulled in before they even know the scoot is there.

Heh, naw they will knock over your bike and just drive away, and theres fuck all you can do about that.

You rather just proved otherwise. :slap:

I suggest carrying a bottle of cat piss (make sure the lid is tight), pour it into the air duct thingies so when they want fresh air they get the smell of cat piss instead.

[sinned]

A nice note with instant glue on the windscreen works a treat. At a place I worked at there was often a car parked in private parks. The series of notes left under the wiper blades didn't work until - the windscreen was plastered with notes using fast glue. That was the end of that windscreen and the car never returned.

I'm with you.

Or easier to obtain; a tin of sardines.

[Spyke]

Well my opinion on the matter is just park diagonal across a car park instead that way you waste one of their parks. hehehehe

:rofl: So how does one go about getting such a bottle? :crazy:

The easy way would be to just buy a bottle of ammonia from the supermarket, that stuff smells pretty much the same.

The hard way involves training a cat - so pretty darn difficult.
