Fiat 500 would have been in need of some replacement parts if it tried to share a spot with me

at lease a biker knows how to move a bike, a freakin moron who never touched a motorcycle and attempt to move it would likely lead to a drop bike and the idiot would probably park somewhere far away and you will never know who the fork did it....
That old dude really seems to believe in the shiat he is saying.... And since there is a possibility he had been riding before I was born, maybe back in their haydays of the swinging 70s, where they not only share parking spots, they probably share wives.. These days and age, it's just wrong to touch someone's property without permission. Anyway, just wanted to see if it was a common practice... None of my riding friends heard about this crap.

I don't know how to easily move a bike with locked steering...
Usually leave space when and if I park my bike. Stopped briefly at the shops on Din Mills and went back to find a Fiat 500 sharing my spot. Was a little tight to get out but OK.
Find four friends and you can soon have a Fiat 500 that's parked sideways in the spot, then watch him try to get it out. Once did it to an Austin Mini, that almost ran over a co-worker![]()
well i look at it this way, would they move a police motorcycle?
What about a well known biker gang bike? umm i would guess no to both
same applys to regular folks bikes. just dont move em. its not right

It's real simple. You don't touch ANYBODY'S, ANYTHING - without permission from the owner. PERIOD !
It's always been wrong to screw with other people's stuff unless you know the owner, and have an understanding. Some people have always just trucked out "the brotherhood" line, when it's in their favour. Trust me: If you were to move his bike, he'd tear you a new one.
In parking lots I park my bike in the middle, toward the front of the spot, so that it's more visible to someone who might try to park a car on top of it.

If it aint yours dont touch it. Dont people learn this in kindergarten?
Actually, I had a fellow biker trying to move my bike from a parking spot at a mall ( Bayview village). He was trying to fit his bike into the same spot and giving me crap for taking the whole spot instead of sharing. First of all, there weren't that many bike normally in that mall and when I parked, I don't think there were any other bikes I could see. So I just parked and went in.
In happen when I was leaving the mall and saw some dude trying to move my bike. Obviously didn't start out well since my first word were, 'what the fork are u doing?!?!' Then he said he is trying to move my bike so that he could park his. It was one of those hughe bummer tourer type of bikes, I think it needits own parking spot anyway. I told him, ok, I am leaving now....then he starts lecturing me bike etiquette on this hit of sharing parking spots. By the time I left, the lot was full, but when I got to the mall, it was only half full with lots of spots. Anyway, he kept at it, saying I shouldn't lock the bike so that it would be easier for people to move the bike in these situation which I find forking ridiculous and a little annoyed to the point I wanted to just head back to the mall and go take a dump and let that old fart wait and find another spot but afraid he might push my bike over ....so I took my sweet time putting on my gear which he knows I am doing it purposely and then telling me the biking community is a brotherhood and he he is actually doing me a favour sharing bike etiquette of parking spots...
Anyway, just want to put it out there, is he right? Is it common practice for us riders to assume the parking spot is for two bikes and park accordingly? Or leave the steering column unlock so that fellow bikers can move their bikes to fit two bike???
They moved my CBR 929 from a parking spot onto the sidewalk, at pacific mall. I woulda f'ed up the car bad that was in my spot, but I didn't witness it so I couldn't verify the car that was in there was the one that moved my bike (I was in there for a while, getting an airsoft gun repaired).
