How many of you park your bikes in gear, particularly on slanted parking lots or gravel ?

 

I always leave mine in neutral. I also don't park on hills.

 

Always in gear.

 

both

 

Always in gear.

 

I generally don't park in gear. I figure the weight of the bike will keep the jiffy
stand planted. I also, do not park with my bike facing 'down-hill'.......if I would
HAVE TO park facing downhill, then putting bike in gear would come into play.
I have never had a bike fall over from parking. I did have a person back intomy
bike with their car which caused the bike to tip (didn't matter what gear it was in).

Same as electaRICK, Leave it in neutral unless on a hill then I leave it in gear, just don't forget and start your bike with it in gear.

Always in gear, just like a car.

 

I always leave my bike in gear when I park. I figure that if anyone bumps it or if its on a hill, being in gear will keep the bike up on the stand. But for you guys who park in neutral, what is your reasoning for it just out of curiosity?

Cause it's in the garage and The first thing I do is push it backwards and let it roll down the drive way. At work it's flat and I hadn't really though about changing my habits. I'd more than likely leave it in gear if I had to.
