    It sure as hell looks like an anchor point!

    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.

    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.

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

    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?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    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?).
