Do you use motorcycle parking spaces?

[Peacekeeper6]

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.
