motorcycle parking

[suzukiGN125]

here is a question, when I go into town on my bike I always park in a carpark the has barriers and you need to take a ticket to get in, and usually pay at a machine to get back out, but motorbike don't have to pay as the attendant lets them out. I know other car parks do this as well.
is that a inherent right of motorcyclist of just niceties from the companies?

They saw a movie from 1968 where the bikers ran riot and are still shit scared.

No its not a right.....

Always read the signs when parking in ANY car park.

There are some that DO NOT ALLOW bikes to park even if you pay & display....

Gunwharfs underground car park in Portsmouth actually has a seperate mini lane for motorcycles exiting.

It's also enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 2, Freedom of Movement, clause 5: "Whomsoever is lawfully within the territory of a Private Car Park shall, within that territory, have the right to weave around the gates like a sweet bad ass mofo."

100% FACT.

it's usually due to bikes not triggering the barriers so they can't use the system.

one in sunderland you have to enter and leave via the pedestrian entrance.

some do have free bike parking areas within the carpark where you don't need to pay, such as dean street in newcastle, has a bay with bars to chain to for free.

now i'm back in manchester i've no idea where to park haha

Name and shame time.

North Lincolnshire Council you bunch of cunts!

In town the Scunthorpe Parishes multi-storey used to have a sheltered area inside the multistorey but got rid of it because they had problems and no camera inside facing that part - solution is to put all bikes outside and fit a camera outside!

it was absolutely pissimg down outside so I parked in a bay inside AND PAID and they attached a note to my bike threatening to fine me if I did it again. Cue me going and kicking off to the attendant who said "that's the policy we have a designated area for bikes". Couldn't show me on the board though....

He tried telling me that "someone could pull in too quickly and hit your bike causing an accident" to which I replied "that's why everyone has to have insurance; because some fuckers can't drive! It could equally be a small child stood there for any number of reasons, or a mini cooper - equally hard to spot between two cars. If someone can't pull into a space carefully they need revoking"


Curiously the council didn't reply to my enquiry.....

Multi - stories are the best when they have barriers. I ended up getting off the bike and jumping up and down on the pressure pad that detects a car and lets out a ticket, needless to say it doesn't work. Had a nice security guard come over and use his wee swipe card to let me get in and park. The boy he was with ( apprentice?) basically went "motorbikes should park in the street... bla bla bla".

Our local stulti-morey has just had a rather nifty number plate recognition system, which is fine if you're in a car, but I seem to recall the cameras facing you as you arrive.......
