PARKING

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

Wondering if anyone has gotten tickets for parking their :spyder2: or other bike, if so where do they put it?

 

[ARtraveler]

Never a ticket here. I always park legal. If I need a HC space on a particular day--I use my HC placard. Most of the time there have been no issues. :thumbup:

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

wondering if others park on sidewalk with their 2 wheelers, i have done so but am always worried.

 

[Mad Mac]

No tickets here. Never parked my 2-wheelers on sidewalks either. I use car spaces or use a H/C spot, due to having said plate on our Spyder. Mac:doorag:

I think I can totally understand. The last place I had limited parking was when I was stationed in Frankfurt, Ger. (I rode a motorcycle during that time) and that was a looong time ago. N.Y.C. is probably pretty comparable when it comes to parking. Mac:doorag:

I throw them in the garbage.:yikes:

Since I was concerned with a ticket when parking in metered parking, I clip the machine ticket on to my tool bag that is on my 2008GS. I always park in an auto parking spot, as do the 2 wheelers.

When it comes to parking in NYC, I always try to park in a parking garage or one of the places that puts the vehicle in the air (for the jeep). I see so many cars street parked within inches of others (or actually touching), and wonder how do they ever get out.

Parking on a sidewalk is asking for a ticket. Will it happen? :dontknow::dontknow:

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

where do they put the ticket?

They put it in the mail, and can send it to you.

Akspyderman, where do you put you HC hangtag? I have plates, and a hangtag, I also have a Golden Age National Parks Pass not sure where to display that so it doesn't get stolen. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rick

I have plates on the car. Hangtag goes on the windshield of the Spyder. I have it wrapped in a plastic bag so that it folds over the windshield. A couple clothespins attach the tag without it scratching the windshield. I have never had a hangtag stolen off the bike--and I used to park in a lot in downtown Anchorage. Not since 2011 on that one though.

Get yourself a set of Lidlox***, and you can lock your hangtag right to your handlebar ends. :thumbup:

You can even hang your helmet on the other side of the bars!



*** Lamonster Garage sells them

 

[Chupaca]

Never...

Never got a parking ticket but generally find good parking even on sidewalks. In big cities :dontknow: cause I don't go there on the spyder. As for the H/C placard...I always forget it...do have a small hole and a zip tie if I ever remember it...:thumbup:

Parking HC

I saw a Guy clip it to the license plate. (HC hang Tag.) Not sure about Parking on the side walk, might be a Ticket.:thumbup:

 

[ahh-cool]

Yes, $157. at a Home Depot. I needed some bolts to put something on the bike. I parked under the overhang near the door. When I got out it had a ticket.

That just not right. Did they call the cops while you was in the store shopping? If you was out of the way why should it Have mattered. I had to stop shopping at home depot most of the workers at our store don't have a clue what they are doing if you ask them to find something.

 

[Bob Denman]

A lot of Home Depot Stores only allow the larger commercial trucks and vans to park in those areas. It might not have been a legal parking space. nojoke

The only parking ticket I ever got on my Spyder was in Springfield MO during Spyderfest. I parked in the motorcycle parking area in front of WalMart and got a ticket. it was scotch taped to my windshield. I remember thinking the local PD really needed to be brought on board with the whole Spyderfest / tourism thing.
