Either way. We do both. If other bikes are there we usually back in beside them.
Penny and Rick have owned many motorcycles starting in 1974 with Hondas, then to Suzukis, Gold Wings and ultimately Spyders.

EITHER
EITHER WAY.....WHEN ALONE.... IT DOESN'T MATTER..... WHATEVER IS MORE CONVENIENT...
WHEN RIDING WITH OTHER SPYD3R's.... WE ALTERNATE: FRONT IN, BACK IN, FRONT IN, BACK IN..... etc etc etc....

parallel park
I found out that backing in leaves extra space for another bike or spyder when traveling in a group. Alone I always park the spyder parallel taking up most of the marked space. Otherwise someone tries to squeeze into the remaining space finds that they cannot do it and then damages the spyder when trying. Left fenders and wheels are expensive. Of course they never stop to leave a name or if caught think that they did any damage. Over $1000 in damage the last time.

That's the way its done in NY! If you did not hit the car behind or infront of you, then you are not close enough.

That's why they call it the, "Braille Method" of parking...

Might be a good idea to check with local LEO.
We were at a rolly somewhee (do not remember where) and started to back in. Local came over said, do not. they will ticket you. All the time or just for the Rally, no idea

45degrees plus or minus a few
I usually park 45 degrees to the curb, Easy in and out and room for a couple of two wheelers or another spyder.

Follow the leader
Depends how others are situated before me. I prefer to park parallel to the curb.
