 Posted: 14:49 - 13 Feb 2008 Post subject: Bloody College - Discriminating Bikers! |
 |
|
Just recieved a lovely letter from my college that if I want to continue to park my motorcycle there, I have to sign a form promising that I will "Turn the engine off and walk the motorcycle from the front gate to the motorcycle parking area"
This parking area is a good 100 meters from the gates and involves going up a slope. Not only is this a big effort, it also involves risking getting hit by buses and cars (mums dropping their kids off = deadly), and makes me look like a complete tit.
Quite frankly, if they think I'm going to do a morning workout everytime I want to come to college just to park my bike, they can go fuck themselves.
Will definatly be contesting this. I thought the world had moved on from biker hating Next thing I know I'll be getting chucked out of pubs  ____________________ Bandit 600 |

What's their reasoning behind the request?

Just keep parking there, At uni car parking is a nightmare with security checkpoints/lack of spaces etc, i just ride right into the middle of campus and stick it under the bicycle shelters, spitting distance from lectures. No one has said anything yet.
If they get really officious and cunty just say you have a bad knee, and that you ride your bike for improved mobility, so you are more than happy to comply with their request if they provide a member of staff, trained in the correct handling of a motorcycle to push your bike from the gate to wherever, obveously this staff member would have to be completely flexible to your comings and goings... otherwise its disability discrimination, biker discrimination, and while your at it take a quick trip down your local mine and play the race card too, that'll teach em  |

Sign the letter, then drop the bike on another student while pushing it to the parking.
Sue them for being stupid.

Bah, who listens to that crap.
We got told that bikes are not allowed on the property at our college.
So we used to get there early and steal all the spots the teachers liked, close to the doors. ____________________ ◙◙► K6 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 1000 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► 96 RF600r ◄◙◙

As far as i can make out during my time at uni the students "union" is run by the biggest pissheads on campus, and wouldent know where to even begin with something not related to alcohol or shitty suburban clubs where people can pose for facebook pictures...
The BMF, is that not in terminal decline with the leadership FUBAR?, i mean a couple years back i loved the KillSpills rides but then they sold out and instead of shutting down london as we shouild have, made it a ride to donnington park, with police escort, and charged you for the priviledge.
I dont know enough about MAG to comment,
But as a relatively young rider i dont feel like any of those organisations would or could do anything for me if i was in the OP's situation. |
MAGs still going strong, as a member it seams to be going thru abit of a re-image, which is good coz althou im a member i dont ride a chopper i ride a sports bike and i ride it like its meant to be.
both me and dav1 are MAG rep's we both go round the dealer's and keep upto date with them, and i also run the east yorkshire mag website.
join up and start going to your local meetings, bring the isue up there and other members will be able to give you good advice on what to do, or if your lucky you could hold a demo at your collage  ____________________ Current .. 2008 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure ..

Pushing a bike up or going down a slope could be considered more dangerous than riding. When riding you have two brakes to use as opposed to only one when pushing. You have a sight advantage. Generally more controllable.
HSE would be interested.
I love knee JERKS. They only do it cause they can the Despots. It is plainly abusive use of authority.

Funny you should mention this because I've been told to move as the place where i normally park my bike is right outside some offices (i think its the noise but its only 4 times a day a max there going to hear it) threatened me with clamping .
I don't fancy parking around back where all the scooter are as 1. its miles away and any cunt can come with a transit and nick your bike 2. Its full of chavs that could do stuff to my bike and i would rather not take the risk.
Thing is i get payed by the guys who complained (training company) so i guess im going to have to fucking move. |
