Whos fault is that?
Well some people park their car in an angle and that pisses me off. Some people don't give a shit about other people's shit so they'll hit your shit. Reason why cars have dings... so your saying bikers don't deserve this type of treatment?

You can probably open a door all the way and still not hit a bike if it was centrally parked in a parking spot.
you never know i had my GSXR600 2 weeks when i left it in the mall parking lot for 5 minutes just to say hi to a girl i was kind of dating. i come out to my bike laying on its side cause i think someone went to pull in to the space and wasnt paying attention hit my rear tire pushed the bike foward and knocking it over. broke my mirrior, turn signals, scratched up my plastics, bent my brake lever.

i learned real fast not to leave my bike where i couldnt see it.

i figure bikes are entitled to their own space. only thing i wish is that they park near the exit of the space so they are easier to spot in the parking space. its surely disappointing to spot an open space close to the front of a store and go to whip in and theres a bike there.. haha foiled again! but thus is the art and patience of parking

ive noticed more larger places having special areas set aside for bike parking, esp college campuses which is a good thing. thats obviously the safest too.

Well I don't know of this happening because I've never experienced it and whoever did that is fucked up. Its like getting your car freshly painted and you park it away from cars and someone comes up and keys it and leaves a note saying "Thought your car was safe away from the rest". This happened to my friend.

I understand where your coming from. If I owned a bike I would like for it to be visible where I park it. Especially with bike's being stolen left and right.

I don't street race by the way so don't bring my car into this... nice try though. Generalization once again... I guess everyone that drives a modified import street races.
welcome to my world of sweeping generalizations.

its not like i'm a squid rider i road race, i'm certified BITCH, i'm comfortable at speed and i can do shit that would make you shit your pants. 25 in a 35 or even 55 in a 45 is nothing.

you're no safer then me doing the same shit in your car.

i obey traffic laws (not all the time) but no one does everything right all the time. there are so many little laws that most of us dont even know we break them. i know where to ride fast, just like you know where to drive fast. THE TRACK. While you shitbox car runs 13 and you think your the fastest thing since paul walker racing up and down the gandy bridge.
seems a little hyprecritical.
you can deny all you want that you dont street race, then why modify your street car?

LMFAO... good one. I don't think I'm paul walker. I don't street race. My car is slow I already know this. Gandy races, never been although people keep saying they have seen me there which I think its funny. Because while people are out there street racing I'm on TR.

Glad we reached a neutral point and understanding of being safe has been resolved. No one is safe.

BTW, I modify because its a hobby. I used to street race a lot. I don't now because the way its become and the laws that have been put fourth.

So, now I'm a preacher. It got stolen, okay... just like everything else gets stolen. Now you being as close to as an asshole as it gets on it. I was simply agreeing with you. A pastor preaches, doesn't mean you have to listen.

Hey C4 asshole believe what you want. Just like you drive a sports bike but are always safe. You think I'm going to believe you don't cut people off or don't drive like an asshole sometimes. Judging by your online charastics you would be an asshole that would pull such moves on the street. Judging by what you supposely own, you have this need for speed and being a rebel. So don't come unto this thread like some poor innocent fool that hates the world because your bike got stolen and your other bike got knocked over.

Damn you agree with someone on here and they turn out to be a fucking asshole.
