Anyone know approximatly how long it'd take for an alarm to drain a battery?

Some tit keeps blocking me in with their ped... thing (it has L-plates, a swingarm mounted engine and a 4 stroke size exhaust) meaning it takes a good twenty minutes of fumbling around with the mirrors off to get the bike out, with their alarm going off the whole time, want to check I'm not in danger of leavng the tit batteryless.

Best leave a note on their bike to let them know that they are blocking
you in and save hassle in the long run for you and them in case you
knock over their bike and make it easer for you to get out. Thumbs Up
Their bike is likely to have a kick start as well as electric and will go even with a low battery.

Sounds like you should be draining their battery if they're blocking you in.

You could just kick their ped over for laugh's of course.

My xr has an immobiliser fitted and if I leave it for 3-4weeks with out riding it struggles to start.

No kickstart I'm afraid, though it's not exactly taxing to bump a 125, saying that, it's a twist and go not sure how you bump them, meh not my problem.
If he carries on doing it I'll probably try to catch him and have a word, there's other motorbike bays within easy walking distance, which I've used many times when there's been no spaces. If he turns out to be a cock about it I might see how long his alarm lasts, I can also set it off by revving my engine which is amusing.

[EDIT] Reply to Ichy, well theres a mito on the left, which has always been parked there as far as I know, and usually a Fazer on my right, with a supporty beam sort of between us, he parks almost directly behind me, slightly off, so I have to wiggle back and forth for ages to get the angles right, and I have to remove my mirros not his, hmm paint diagram time I think.
