    You know what they say about Hondas

    It's a Honda, are you sure he is prejudiced against bikes and not homophobic?

    Mate its purely coz it's a Honda...............

    I still sympathize and reckon you check who owns the carpark

    If a Public Park and you are within the local parking bylaws etc, too bad stay put.

    IF the carpark is part of the building lease and your boss pays the cost of leasing it....bugger your screwed
    Just ride.

    Give us the name of your business and manager, won't be hard to sort out, everybody has leverage that can be applied to them.

    I've a stack of those red labels you see on condemnded buildings here locally. You tell that arsehole to retract his request or I'll come stick one on his building. If it's the landlord, tell him to shove it up his arse or I'll stick them on all the buildings he owns. Sure they'll come down relatively quickly, but it'll fuck him for a minimum of half a day at least.

    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.
    Yep. Lower it to what? Aranui or Wainoni? It still better than Linwood.
    I guess your landlord has Fendalton aspirations

    I am starting to feel sorry for Honda riders ...... But I think I would make you move it as well

    Seriously though what a joke... a tidy bike verses tatty cars... let me think here, er yep, definately think the boss has "little man" syndrome...

    Ignore the bloke. Honestly, he has not a leg to stand on. Do secure your bike well, is there somewhere closer to you, you can sneak park it? Remember bikes are small.

    Failing that, gather a heap of other bikers and get them to park around the area with you.

    Deliver a passive, great big to him.

    Speaking of prejudice, they didn't even include motorcycles in the campbell live commuter type comparison. Lucky some onto it fella wrote in to point that out

    My boss negotiated that his staff could use 3 parking spaces behind another building across a back lane from our building, in return for giving the manager of that business a dozen beer every couple of months. So two girls started parking their cars there and I started parked my motorbike. These are usually the only vehicles parked around his building, there are about 15 or more car park spaces. The girls never bought him any beer, I was the only one who bought a dozen every second month.

    Then one day my boss says the guy has asked him to tell me not to park my motorbike there.

    OK, I park in a little corner behind our building now ((bikes are easy to park in little nooks and crannies). I've got somehwere to park my bike, but now he goes thirsty. He's the one losing out. Dumb sh*t.
