Do you use motorcycle parking spaces?

This is where it helps to carry a small orange cone and place it behind the Spyder to avoid this situation. I see cones at Amazon with heights starting from 4 inches.

I like the idea about the cones when using auto spaces for parking.

That would be alot smarter of course, I will make that a rule from now on if I park with cars !

another good idea.

If I ever get my F3-S which was ordered three months ago, I will park it as I do my car. Out toward the far end of the parking lot, in a car spot, where there are no other cars around. A little walk to the store is good for ya.

If they can't see my bike sitting there almost 5 ft tall there not going to see a 4 inch cone!! Sorry

Place the cone at the edge of the sparking space so it is visible even before the other car driver turns into the space because they couldn't see the spyder between two larger cars.

When they created and designed " Mtc. parking " .... they were thinking TWO wheels ..... our Spyders need more room - so park with the auto's .....JMHO .... Mike

Could be our "spacing" is bigger out here! I'll park in whatever is available. Sometime MC sometimes Car. If wife is with me, Car as they have Handicapped spots.

Like most have already posted, the MC parking spots are usually too small for the Spyder. So I park in a safe place when I stop. .....

Thankfully, I have not had issues with strangers messing with things, but just in case:

I park with the cars unless I'm at the VA Hospital.

What is your experience parking your Ryker/Spyder in designated motorcycle parking areas? I'm picking up my Spyder in a couple of days and as a first time owner, wondering if I should bother parking in m/c spaces or just find a car spot. Do other bikers complain because these vehicles take up so much space?

If I'm riding my Spyder, I usually avoid parking in MC designated places, because

1) I don't consider my Spyder a motorcycle, in the traditional sense of the word, and

2) When I ride my Harley 2-wheeler and attempt to pull into a MC designated spot only to be blocked by a big-ass Spyder, I get a bit annoyed. I wouldn't want to be an annoyance to other 2-wheelers who deserve their spot.

My opinion.
