I understood that you had a valid defence for parking tickets as there's no way of ensuring they stay on the bike in the wind... I usually park on the footpath

I can help with this...

Count me in for this parking chaos - do you know these parking nazis are out on Friday and Saturday nights untill the early hours of the morning, ticketing people? They have to have security guard escorts.

one thing that did pop into mind (collectively), is that we do get free parking in multi stories and carparks in general anyway..
bugger about free parking, is we don't get all the cash in the middle..

Might wanna check some council laws before doing this mass parking thing...

Down here in welly, Bikes cannot park in carparks that are controlled by pay-and-display. so if you all go park up they might be able to ticket each and every one of you....

Whoever asked for moped riders to come along... why would they, we are legally allowed to park on the footpath

OMG I better go and join BRONZ immediately... I'm starting to sound like one of them

id be in for it

Try writing in or phoning first - we only had one motorcycle park in Levin, and it was a dog. A few weeks back it vanished. I emailed the mayor, and actually got a response - they say they will look at more motorcycle parks, utilising smaller areas that they can squeeze one or two bikes in.

Of course we havent actually seen anything happen yet, if it doesn't then we have good grounds to stir. But a civilised first move is to write in and see if one of Mr.Banks committees can actually do something !

If he does he might be on our side.

Aotea Centre underground carpark mostly (if you're meaning Council vehicles, not personal)

Personal vehicles.
Council cages will have their own special area. Need to highlight the problem directly to the inbred-puss filled-sycophants on a personal level...
