    That's odd. It's just across the road from Velox' work as well...

    I always found that if you got to the big bike park in Mercer street any later than 9am you were basically stuffed, and on a big machine like the ZX-10, there's no such thing as squeezing into a gap.

    I will bring this to Stuart's attention.

    "Big machine"? You cannot be serious! A ZX10 is just an overpowered moped that's made out of plastic. They weigh less than 200kg. Since when has that been "big"? (Well, for a motorcycle, that is)

    He did say 'big', not humungous.

    Sorry to deviate a bit - but does anyone know the owner of a silver Katana that parks in Mercer St? I might be new to this, but that front tyre looks flat. Makes me cringe every time I walk past.

    It's a pop-up headlight Kat, ay. Yeah I've seen that too.

    A while back, I told a guy who parks a Bandit 1200 there that his tyre was quite deflated. It had been like that for a few days and he hadn't noticed. He was ever so grateful.

    I saw that on on Friday but didn't notice the tyre. Looks like a 1100CC?

    Please refer to the new thread if you wish to contribute to helping to expand free parking for bikes in Wellington. This one seems to have done its job.

    Are you sure about 230kg? The FJR "lorry" is about 260kg dry...

    Just found this post. Hey ya!
    What really grinds down my undies is the gap between bikes...not being enough to pull your bloody bike upright from the side stand &*%$#$.
    I park in Grey St & during the week had some plonker park their bike so close to mine that at a quick glance you'd think they were getting down & dirty together. Couldnt get the bike upright enough to even pull out..feckin dipshit.
    Whew..feel better already!

    Yeh I know the feeling. Had to bring the bike in earlier in the week and leave at 3 pm. Some bikes are just too close. Theres just too many riders using t6he parks now so hence the thread. I have been trying to see if the WCC would use all that space on the southern end of the library just for scooters and saw someone has been parking theirs during the week so perhaps they might get the hint.

    Well, I can say that WCC are onto it at present.
    As you know, I've submitted the list of all of the bike parks around town and also made aware of the severe limitations of these, being size wise and insufficient quantites.

    Anyway, please do understand that changes don't get done overnight but I will persist with it and keep progress moving.

    As I get updates I will inform everyone here.

    Cheers,
    NDMz.
