That's my biggest problem with it when they are so close I almost want to kick their bikes over but I wouldn't want the same done to me. I mean I understand why people do it, just irritates me when their bike is like right ontop of mine that I can't pull out.

I've purposely parked dead center of a parking space and people still pull in next to me.

 

Man why does he have to be a poser? Ever think maybe he just passed his class and was on a new bike doesnt know how to park yet?

 

A guy I ride with acts like he has to park right up your ***. That **** irritates me when I can't even pick my bike up straight to pull out because he's so close.

 

I'll share a spot if I get somewhere with high traffic but if I decide to park in the same spot as a bike that's already there I park to the side and either forward (generally) or behind the other bike, this tends to deter cagers from crowding the spot on the other side when there are two bikes in the spot for some odd (or not so odd reason), I've parked like this and noticed that spots stay empty on the side, even in heavy traffic parking areas.

 

Agreed, but if he doesn't know how to park yet, he shouldn't be parking next to a strangers bike...

I would never share a spot with someone I didn't know. Don't trust them next to my bike and they probably don't trust me next to theirs.

 

If I park in the center and slightly at an angle as I normally do, and some idiot pulls up in the same spot as me somehow...

 

I actually registered for this forum so I could respond to this thread specifically.

I do not own a Harley. I do not have a motorcycle license. But I am sure that the second I do earn both a bike and a license I will be over the moon excited to show anyone who is interested, especially another enthusiast showing up at a Harley dealership. Please chill out. I understand this is a great place to vent but perhaps Bobberevo88 is right, maybe the guy did not know. You even said that he gave you a reason as to why he parked so close to you, why did YOU have to cop an attitude with him in front of his girlfriend??

I respect the Harley world to no end and am working hard to become a part of it, but dont ruin it for me by being the typical arrogant, mid life crisis showboating old man whom people are associating so many harley riders as. Thanks chief

 

It's pretty amazing what people can do I've used the same technique. I bet if I parked sideways in a spot someone would do the same just to park next to me.

 

Talk about an arrogant post...........You have shown no respect in your post at all.

 

it not a harley thing .some people are just aholes .im not a harley rider. dont wear a black leather jacket. or hang out at the dealership. im a motorcyle rider that just happen to own a harley.
