Do you think this parking technique will catch on for the overcrowded motorcycle bays in London? Very Happy

https://cgi.blikopdeweg.nl/photos/12/051031staan.jpg

As I maybe visiting London has anyone any advice on using the bays? (that is finding one, I think there's a map but where?, and stopping someone moving your machine). Ta.

Very Happy

P.S. Added here as it is bike related Wink

Lol Laughing . If everyone parked like that and one fell over it would be a very expensive domino run! Laughing

Care to try that on my cx? Razz

on a boreing old fart note i'd imagine it wont do the bike much good? (oil and fuel being kept sideways and all) might be handy for kickstart for longterm storeage Laughing

On the parking in london note..

Presuming you're offering to let me try some twelve'o'clock wheelies on it, sure I'll give it a go Wink.

Now I've only done three vertical wheelies in my life, none intentional and all have ended with me on my arse. But I'd sure like to play some more Smile.

there are apparently japanese cars that do this already, my suggestion would just be a big bus shelter type thingwith a ramp up the side, uses only a bit more space but doubles parking, but then it won't happen cus theres no money in it for the council.

Add to that westminster parking scum would most likely push the bike over and give it a ticket.

Cool, and people say that a stunt bike would be impratical, bet glifting it up like that and getting it down can be a bit scary!

Surprised the theiving cunts dont steal your tankbag, or throw it at the bike causing it to fall over out of the bike bay lines by a couple of mm.

I'm quite large and quietly spoken. People tend to be polite to me. Smile

I also ride my bike all day long for a living so I'm never far from it.
