Do you use motorcycle parking spaces?

[ES44AC]

I use the MC spaces at work, mainly because we have so few vehicle spaces now.

I used one just the other night and when we came out to get back on the bike a car was parked right beside us taking up three spots!!

I'm not sure that I have ever saw a Motorcycle Parking Space in my part of the world.

Wouldn't dare park anywhere where a Harley does.....already heard enough about getting a "real Motorcycle"........

I just tell them ,"I had a 500 Matchless in 1967, what were you riding"

I use a motorcycle space if available. But I'll use a regular space if it's in the SHADE........

The only place I usually see dedicated motorcycle parking where I live is at Harley dealerships. That said, I have a disabled plate - so I usually get prime parking.

I park where spaces are available. If there is a MC designated area, that's what I use. Some MCs/scooters are skinny and some are wide. As far as I'm concerned MC designated parking areas are there for anything licensed accordingly..... just like handicap areas. I've never heard of any store towing or ticketing any vehicle because part of the vehicle was not within the lines they painted on the ground. Another consideration is the designated areas for motorcycles, bicycles, handicap, etc. are there not only for the convenience of the users, but also to maximize use of the parking lot. If there's scooter/MC parking available, that's where they want them to be parked, instead of a larger auto spot. Finding a lone little scooter/MC in the middle of a larger parking spot in a crowded lot is not a welcoming sight.

We park in the "cage" parking spots all the time, but take advantage of the "motorcycle" status when riding a ferry (Western WA)... First on, first off is kinda nice! And yes, we now qualify for senior discount making the ride a bit nicer.

I park in car slots mostly. When I am out with my club I park where the group parks. Generally we park in the outlying spots and share spots making room for other vehicles.

At motorcycle dealers I park in designated MC spots if they are wide enough. If there is limited space on "kickstand down" concrete spots I will use a car spot.

I've never seen a motorcycle specific parking space that would accomodate a Spyder. And taking two spaces is just not acceptable. It has never even occurred to me to try. When parking I consider the Spyder a car and take a full space. BTW, in many jurisdictions if two motorcycles park in one metered space, they will be ticketed.

 

[rustin921]

I always park in a vehicle space, doesn't even come to mind to park in a motorcycle spot. If you look at the width of the Spyder, it comes close to a small size car.

Shade rules here in Florida.....

 

[troop]

Yes I do

car spot

 

[ES44AC]

I generally park in car spaces. At work is a different story, I have to park in the MC parking because of not enough car spaces.

Your experience parking in motorcycle parking spaces

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?

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 :thumbup:

Mike is right.
