RE: HD Parking Only - At Work
No special place where I work now, but we had one at the local State Correctionall Facility where I retired from a few years ago. Could park about 10-12 bikes there. It was right up front where all the big wheels parked. Almost never filled it though.
One of our Sgt's, who just passed away about 1 1/2 years ago, rode everyday there wasn't a thunderstorm or ice and snow on the road. He STILL has his own spot, the same one he used to park in everyday. The rest of the spaces say Motorcycle Parking Only, his sign says reserved for K**** T*****.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but that was pretty special for me. RIP my brother!

RE: HD Parking Only - At Work
At the golf course (fortunately I am am the boss) I built an 80 foot lean-to on the barn in 16 foot sections to park the mowers under. The first 16 foot section is Harley parking only. If the weather gets really bad we put a few mowers in the Harley section and roll the bikes inside. The good part is if anybody has a problem with it... unfortunately they have to come to me.

We used to have motorcycle parking right but they took it away when they did some road construction on base. We pleaded for a motorcycle parking pad when they re did the lots but they told us no way. So after they finished the construction they realized they had fewer parking spots and asked us riders to dubble up on spots. Our answer to that was well you get 1 parking spot so does my bike i wil take up 1 parking spot for my bike just like you do with your car. That shut them up, it would have been so easy just to pour us a little pot to park!

Nice,
Hey dowork08!
I will tell you what worked for me at FT Hood. I Never asked just got 2 signs made at local sign shop "motorcycle parking only"
I bought 5 gallons of yellow paint and a roller.
On a Saturday night about 10 pm I went to work and swept off two parking spots really well. Started dumping paint and Put the signs up. Sunday night I went back with tape and Black paint and made lines for bike's. It worked for the two years I was there and as people come and go it just gets accepted as the norm.
