Parking spot as close as possible, crossed lines, far away spot, sidewalk, other?

People get pissed no matter where you park it seems.

Depends. Most of the time, just close as possible spot. I try to park out toward the end of the spot, so that cages can see the bike and not pull in on top of it. Seeing that Ohio has such a large number of bikes (I heard that we're #2 per capita on number of registered bikes) shouldn't more places have bike parking spots?

I park WAY in the 'back 40' in lots.

Walking never killed anyone, and it's just that much more exercise I get in a day.

Plus, no one dings my truck because no one else parks out there, and thus no shopping carts/other crap make their way out there either.

I try to avoid lines and sidewalks. Usually I try to park to the back where the cars start to thin out and like jporter, towards the front so cages can see it. I also park at an angle to avoid them trying to squeeze in. All depends on the circumstances.

+1. I usually park as far away from people as I can, on the bike or in the truck.

I don't much care in the car, since it's a 12 year old beater these days. I'm lazy and will hunt for a close spot!

I park the battle wagon wherever the fuck I want to and I don't commute on my bike.. so I park that in the garage.

At home it's garaged. When I'm out in the city, in the back or somewhere shady. If possible in camera view but I don't go out of my way to find a camera. Most of the time when I'm out doing my daily stuff it's parked at a park or the side of the road.

At wal mart, I started parking the bike out back by the tire dept. entrance, its concrete and shady in the evening and then at the bank I try to park in front of the ATM because the camera points at the bike and it makes me feel better about leaving my gear sit there for the 2 minutes I'm inside. Other than those 2 places, I dont park much anywhere else except my own garage. I cant afford my own mexican pit crew so I just do what I can to get by..... :)

Used to park on the sidewalk at work until they bitched. Then they put mc parking in the farthest spaces from the building. Now mind you, I'm a chick (actually most of the riders at work are) and I get off work in the middle of the night. We never use them, just park close as we can.
They have mc parking at WallyWorld?

We have MC parking at work, actually lots of it, but it's at the store I usually have to think "where should I park?"

Bike, truck, and car, always parked as far away as possible. I haven't actually parked "next" to another vehicle in years. I make sure of that.

I usually park in the lined area at the end of the row or make up a spot wherever the bike fits. Worked for me so far!

I also park on the sidewalk. Is this okay. Cops just look at it when they drive by.

I park in the diagonal spots up front, unless there are motorcycle spots.
