Never Had this happen to a Parked Bike !!
« on: December 08, 2010, 07:41:13 PM »
 I pull up at Starbux today, and a parallel spot is open, so I take it. Park to right hand side as people always pull up behind that spot and run in illegaly.. this way at least they are partly on a space.. just dont hit the bike..

 I come out an hour later, and there is a car in my space.
 Not just in my space but way past the line into my space.. and I can barely see, my bike. Well now I am thinking they are touching the bike maybe (hope not) I get to the front and there is lots of room between the car and bike  :o  ???

 That car was so small, you could have a bike behind and in front and still fit in the parking space!..

 Never had that happen before.. :o

Jeez Frank, I figured an old curmudgeon such as yourself would drink 20w50 for coffee with a little gear lube thrown in for bite. I never saw you as the double mocha frulatti splash cappuccino espresso with pumpkin spice sprinkled on top kinda guy... ;) ;D ;D


My vote is no, it's never happened to me :)

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

I did get my bike towed once for parking in the corner spot in a parking garage where a car can't fit?????

I never will understand that one, I paid to get in, parked on the top floor in a corner not obstructing anything or taking up usable space yet the bike was towed because it was not a marked spot. I guess those poor state university's got to make money somewhere
