Parking on the Street
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2013 6:24 am
Not sure how much this will apply to the majority of you what with living in UK where space and driveways are abundant.
Without paying silly money it's pretty much a given that I need to park on the mean city streets.
This morning I went to get the bike to work only to find the neighboring bike had fallen over and was leant hard up against my pride and joy
Scratched fairings and my side stand had sunk a quarter inch into the shitty tarmac under the weight.
I picked up the fallen bike to find it had a side stand and a centre stand, neither of which were being used
I'm sure the owner of said bike must have used his stand but perhaps didn't put it down properly when he got off.
He came out as I was looking my bike over and I explained it all to him but sadly as he put it 'what can you do about it?' :smt013
I also occasionally find some clever dick has put a glass bottle behind the rear wheel which is needlessly reckless :wanker
Not expecting a solution but as the forums says, want to rant.
Any similar experiences?
