yeah, i use the sidewalk to park as much as i can. i know it's not legal but most places don't make a big deal out of it.

or if not, i try park by the light poles if available, there's enough space to fit a bike and no car will think about parking there.

When I'm at work I park way in the back, so there are lots of empty spots closer to the door that lazy people will take.

I have ZERO problems taking a longer then average walk so that people won't park next to me.

Crap like this makes me glad I have a garage to keep my bike in.

At work we have motorcycle only parking spots up front and they are well makred as motorcycles only. Definately nice to have.

Yeah, since the Vision is my daily rider I like to leave it in front of the townhouse instead of down the street in my garage. It's even more irksome because my parking lot is setup as an L. My spot is one you drive straight into you don't turn to the side so he should have been able to see the bike the whole time from turning into the parking lot to hitting it.

At least I was able to get a NOS headlight, signal, gauge and new rims with fresh mounted metzlers for $95 shipped.

I mean, it's not like there's a huge line to buy Vision parts

Sympathy mate, I like to think that there is a higher power and that he will do for the guy, or if not let me meet him so I can throw a No 4 wobbly on him.

Explain the wobbly concept to me. I told V about my fists of rage but I want to know what degrees of wobbly I can give people. What's number 4 like? What are the other numbers? Is 1 weaker or flat out murder?

I sympathize with ya. My bike was pushed over and the jerk(s) stole our helmets too! It's better the God deal with em, he'll have mercy..I wouldn't. Best of luck getting er back in shape.
