kinda what I expect to happen when I park there my only concern being someone banging into someone elses bike with mine (mine I'm not so worried about, just don't damage/drop it and put it back where I put it so I can get out) , usually there's one guy that gets trapped in there and more times than not this guy with a yamaha scooter. I always try to leave him an out but expect being an adult of greater than 90lbs he can just lift it over the curb if need be (as long as that construction they're doing is over soon). Not really a big issue since we seem to have a similiar schedule leaving around the same time. Met him once when he was squeezing it between my bike and a gsxr, seemed like a nice enough chap and was being careful not to bang into anything. I always grab a spot where I can back right into the road behind me, just makes getting out easier

I saw a guy a few semesters ago by the fine arts building who'd bolted an adjustable cupholder to his floor board between his feet. I was a little jealous

Tip for daily driving your motorcycle: Don't do 120 down Ehren's Cutoff.

maybe show your friend "the pace", Raul posted it and Cecil stickied it. I'll admit I like it more for the stay out of jail aspect but sounds like your buddy could use it
