Motorbike prejudice

**AlexElther** · 30th March 2011, 13:26

Hi Everyone,

I feel like I need to have a rant.
I have just been asked that I move my bike from outside the front of my work because the landlord is trying to increase the profile of the area!!!!!

I ride an 07 Fireblade and it far from untidy and I work in Addington and have to bike in or leave an extra hour early in the morning thanks the the amount of cars on the roads after the earthquake.

I am so unbelievably F'ed off. There are buggered up Holdens and Toyotas outside and my bike is BRINGING THE AREA DOWN??? pound for pound my bike cost 20x that of a s#1t company car!

on top of that there is absolutely no security out the back of the building. No cameras, no lights, no people, nothing.

Seriously is this even legal? Genuinely, because it feels like prejudice.

He can legally ask you anything and it shouldn't bother you a bit .... your answer on the other hand is your concern and completely under your control!

Court order de jure or contract signed by both parties, or it stays where it is.

Don't get angry. Just get, er, back to whatever it was you were doing..

You could always kick the crap out of him, but that might reinforce his prejudice further

May be better to have a grown up chat about it, pointing out your reasonable objections to him (or her)

Directions on how to insert to a place of no sunshine comes to mind.

Spray paint the building late at night.

Invite all Christchurch KB's over for breakfast and take up every parking spot.

I anyone turns up here on a Suzuki I ask them to put it in the garage so I can close the door.
Predudice? no, common decency

Nice to see you rate Suzuki's so highly.

I would agree to comply, on the condition that the increased risk to your property is acknowledged and arrangements are made to provide a suitable and secure alternative.

That said, you have every right to ask your employer to please explain why he thinks it is fair and reasonable that you should relocate your vehicle when others are not. They may also think it is stupid but be under pressure to enforce it.

Dont misquote me, I dont rate them at all.

I had the same problem at my old work. Prob was, there were half a dozen bikes parked out front, and 'technically' they were on the footpath (although out of the way), so we had to.

But if it's parked in a car park, nothing they can do.

I still reckon the more bikes parked outside, the better a building looks

Just say no and see what that brings.

Addington is a shit hole, it'll take more than a few bikes removed to raise the area, so his argument doesn't even hold water.
