How long...

[bear]

Well I've polished off a few bottles of the old home brew and I'm feeling more philosophical now...

That's sounds like some good homebrew you've got there, only a few bottles...

my bike has only been knocked over once on symonds st, at 1000ish nice and early but not too early so heavy foot traffic. The kind barstards picked it up though and took it away to fix........

just didnt return it, starting to let my bike start to look like papparazzi'z for the same reason as him

Little note tucked into the seat strap:

"I knocked your bike over. Sorry!" No name or telephone number.

Some people are a-holes!

If someone hit's and runs then they stand a good chance of getting reported.
But If they leave a note then everyone looking just thinks.. aint they good leaving a note, and dismisses the incident. Dosent matter there is no numbers or names on it... cruel trick!

I remember reading once - apparently true story, could be apocryphal but is is at least plausible - someone comes back to find their car badly dinged but good news is there's a note under the wiper blade. Bad news is it says "the people standing around me think I'm leaving you my name and number, but I'm not that stupid."

I have to say it seems like the reason you got the "Sorry" note was because someone witnessed it and the culprit wrote the note to make it look like (s)he was doing the "right thing".

It gets especially bad after 6pm when all the cars try to squeese the bike spaces.
I've nearly had a guy scrape against my bike with his car when i was standing next to it.

You've got a Two Brothers pipe right? I think I was parked next to it today, and on the other side was a RS250. Leaving around 5.45pm, some git in a cage squeezed in between the RS and a tree. He was bloody close to the bike, and I was keeping an eye on him in case he clipped it. If he did I was going to clip him.

Maybe a midnight ninja mission to fit some bollards in the bike parking would be in order?

/looks at watch

..50 minutes to go till I find out how rediculously close some dirty smarmy cager has parked next to bike #69..

Yeah, thats the one.
I'm assuming your bike is the one with the extra r's and the moto x stickers on the side.

Ninja missions on for sure.
Bollards would work well, or we could set up some sort of elaborate system with anvils and tnt. Something that roadrunner would be proud of.

Whats the deal with cars parking there anyway?
Is it a free for all after 6pm just because the wardens have gone home?

That would be my abomination.

The signs say m/c parking Monday-Saturday, but after 6pm the cagers start moving in. I had some toss pot in a MR-S beep at me to move while I was getting ready to leave yesterday around 6pm, so I took three times as long to get going.

By the letter of the law, I don't think cages can legitimately park there except Sundays, but I can see that there's reason behind using some of the bike parking space for cages after 6pm.

The issues I find is that they'll try to squeeze into gaps that are too small, and they take all of the available space.

If there were bollards between the trees down the Symonds Street end that would at least reserve some of the parking for bikes.
Are you any good with concreting? A nice low bollard, painted black for minimal cager visibility should do the job.
