Try parking a bike in a parking lot. In the rare instance that I don't put it up on the walkway somewhere I have to park in a space. My buddy owns a 2005 Big Dog chopper and I have my Triumph. we put them in a single parking spot and put them real close together so there is plenty of room to not hit one of them while parking in the adjacent spots. One time at the local mall some asshat with a BMW slides in next to my friends bike about a foot over the line within eighteen to twenty inches from his bike. Close enough that he couldn't pick the bike off the sidestand without hitting the car. We were still taking off gloves and helmets to go eat lunch, and we said "hey, how about respecting our space?" He reply's that bikes are small and you have plenty of room. I told him "you get one chance to move it". He thought we were kidding. I figured if he beat us out of the mall fine. Well he didn't, and since he probably only had one spare he was f'ed. Serves the dumbazz right.
I can't STAND people that have no respect for others property.
