Oh shit man that hurts. Right when your in the middle of the new bike "Oh fuck its got a tiny stone chip" stage, some bimbo backs over it with a cage. I'm feeling for ya..
Wherever you go, there you are

If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

It makes no difference how wide the space. I've had a guy walk right past my bike before getting into his egg beater suzuki 4x4 and backed into my SV650. Now I never park in the park spaces if I have to be more than a couple of feet away from it.

Why is it that people say they cant see us yet a cop can spot us a mile away?
My bike is a cop magnet
Cops have eyes and they tend to know how they work...

Oh...my....lord.... That is totally heinous! And here's stupid me parking in car parking spaces without thinking about that scenario (newb newb newbie!)
I will learn from this and park my bike on the footpath (cheers Spanky!)
I can't believe you're handling it so well - I feel gutted just reading your post and gives me chills just thinking about it! $1000? Lets hope thats all the damage that was done, I hope you won't be too paranoid about all the little things you think are "Wrong" due to the inane actions of the driver!
Hope you get your ride back ASAP and get out to some open roads!

Man, that would surely make you feel sick
Like Terbang said, right smack in the middle of the new bike phase where every teeny chip or dirty blow fly makes you cringe. Then some twerp comes and squashes it. Hope that's the last of it and smooth sailing from here on in.
If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

Was that Master-town or Welly-town?
I know the parking bastards in Masterton would love to find bike on the footpath
The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

Only ever got one ticket, and that was years ago in Hamilton. So long as you're not in anyones way, it shouldn't be a problem.
There's always someplace, somewhere nearby, out of the way of people and cages where you can park ya bike.
Hardcore Biker
Yeah, in Auckland they would likely tow it as well for blocking the footpath.
Imagine coming out of a shop and seeing your pride and joy dangling from some towies hook as he crawls down the road gloating at your misfortune.
That's got to be nearly as bad as some old trout having a poke at it with her differential??
How can you get away with parking on the footpath??

Well, I always park on the footpath (or some similar place). Been doing so for 40 years and haven't had a ticket stick yet. Had plenty of cops and parking wardens drive and walk past.
Be considerate though, don't plonk your bike smack bang in the middle of the path where people will fall over it. If you look around you can always spot a place where people wont walk anyway - between street furniture, the recesses between buttresses on buildings ,side of a bus shelter etc. Where you can park and not be an impediment.There's always something suitable within 20 foot or so
Prolly illegal, yeah, but so is speeding.
Kiwi back at home!
I do it all the time, ie the shore has no bike parks so I park on the footpath out of the way by the planter boxes etc and have had the parking warden walk past a few times without batting an eyelid

Then don't block the footpath! Plenty of room on most to park ya bike without getting in anyones way.

I think we need to post pictures with captions to illustrate this! I did in in Wellywood when I was down there and it was sweet as. When I'm in Dorkland, I just park it down by the Auckland Library since I only hang out in Borders.
