If the guy parked so close to you that you couldn't get on your bike and get out of your parking spot, I completely understand the OPs frustration. That's just flat out inconsiderate and there is no excuse for it.

For the record, I only share a spot with someone I know even though when it comes time to park in "motorcycle" parking only spots I often times wind up parked just as close as I would be if I shared a spot with a bike already in a standard spot. I just figure if I don't HAVE to share it, I don't NEED to share it.

What's even worse? I park in some lot, a mile from anyone else and there are 600 empty parking spaces between me and the next cage.
Some dipshit in a minivan will park right next to me.

Crazy thing, last weekend I was up in DC area in some hotel. I did same thing parked away from everybody. Some vanload of asians pull right up and proceed to photograph each other by my bike. I should have taken a picture of that from my third floor window.

You said something about your fullface helmet not allowing you to see to the side,,,whatever that means. What did yiour girlfriend say to you when you went back inside? I'm glad you did not cop an attitude after I asked you to move your bike.....Hopefully this is a lesson learned so you don't become a dumbass again and block the wrong guy in.

We have an ******* like that here at work. No matter how much space we give him, he still parks two feet off of our floorboards. I told him the next time he did it I was going to kick his bike over. I'm waiting for him to ride his bike to work again.

If you talked to the guy in the parking lot it should be over. Why get behind youre computer and complain? The weather in Cali should be nice right now, more riding and less complaining.

If I'm some place busy and see a bike that already has a spot...sure as sh*t I'll pull in next to them. But from reading this it seems a lot of guys think their bike deserves an entire spot. - the "Brotherhood" continues to amaze me at times.
all he had to do was park it a foot over..I could not even stand up my bike without my bike touching his..What would you have done, sit and wait inside for who knows how long til he moved his bike? I doubt it
