The Peterson poker run to Key West took place last week. It was a Beautiful thing to see. There was all makes of motorcycles, and even several spyders out of the thousands of motorcycles that made their way to Key West. Gilberts was stop 1 and many bikers enjoyed breakfast here. I did notice that one of the spyders had parked in the motorcycle only area and was boxed in on the sides and front by two wheelers . Now I don't think this was on purpose, but mabe the two wheelers were sending a message to the spyder owners that motorcycle only was for two wheelers . There was a Beautiful flat black spyder that was part of the event. I hope next year to see more spyders.

I try to think people just are not thinking when they do things like that. Try to give them the benefit of the doubt, unless I find out they did it on purpose - then I get GRUMPY!! Of course some people are idiots and can't help themslves and can never get along.

Same thing when I park in the handicap space. I have the proper hang tag attached to the windshield in plain view. (3" by 10" or so). AK does not have HC license tags for motorcycles any more.

I have had a couple nasty notes and one restaurant called the cops. I went out and showed the officer where the hang tag was--problem solved. It was the restaurant next door to where I was. Never a car trying to block me in though.

Funny thing, but the same thing happened to me at a swap meet. One in front and two on either side.

What did I do? Back her out and go on my merry way. :coffee:

Also take into consideration that the bikes around the Spyder might have been riding buddies.

You may have been looking for an insult where none may have been intended...

Some folks are just stupid; but not mean. ;)

I went to a Wednesday bike night at a Quaker Steak and Lube and found my spyder blocked in on all sides when I was ready to leave. I looked left and right and most 2 wheelers were blocked in also. It's the price you pay for arriving early.

:agree: The few times i got to the Chatterbox early, My Spyder got hemmed in also , By other Spyders and bikes. Them Spyders take up too much space. :rolleyes:

But i did find out if you ask' people will gladly move to let you out.:dontknow:

:agree: Trikes of any nature are much easier to box in just because of the width that they require for maneuvering... Folks will move if you ask them to. :sour:

All sounds good to me, added protection on all sides. Someone's going to have to climb over a another bike to sit on my Spyder.

I've been invited to ride at the end of the month with a bunch of old work mates, 3 day weekend in Vermont. They havn't asked but they still think I have the wing, can't wait to see there faces when I turn up on the spyder. There mostly Harly riders, you know the type, all office workers with loads of chrome and no miles. :roflblack:

We've been blocked in many times on our HD. I'm sure they didn't mean for it to be intentional.

Unless all the 2 wheelers tilt over from a gust of wind and fall on the spyder. :roflblack: :opps:
