.At least 24" between white car and blue car so plenty of room and what difference would that make to the way some muppet parked his bike.
Clearly not a disabled parking spot wrong colour paint and what difference would that make to the way some muppet parked his bike.
Used to ride bikes all the time and have many friends that do and not one of them would be classed as a "plonker".
But looks like this biker is amongst TO MANY on the road that are just complete MUPPETS.
Very few bikers show the consideration they should,
Make them pay the same tax as cars, make them pay toll fees, make them pay for parking,and make them pay for air ambulance service's.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm chill uuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm chill
my rant for the week Think I'll go and bash some metal into shape and weld it.
They can and do pay more tax than a lot of cars, sons car is £30 per year, my bike is £70 plus, he uses the roads far more than I do, so any reduction would be helpfull
we do pay toll fees, but no parking fees, but we are in the sticks here,
motorcyclists are the main contributers to the air ambulance service.

Yet you'd be happy for motorcyles to pay more road tax...? That's a balanced view.
While I'm on.. I pay £70-odd quid a year tax for my bike and £120 for 6 months for my TVR (which does half as many miles to the gallon). I need a full parking space for the car but with my mates we can get 4 bikes into one parking space, considerately leaving three free spaces for those who use a 4-seater car to carry one person. Some of whom are so arrogant that they park across two spaces because their tin box is so important it needs more space on the planet.
In addition: when was the last time you sat in a traffic jam caused by a 10-bike pile-up? How often has a bike held you up on any road from a country lane to a motorway? What was that? Never? Thought so...

...thought why the Air Ambulance and Lifeboats both have to be run as charities is a mystery.

And that's fact! We as a Motorcycle Club donate to Air Ambulance, two years ago they came and did a little presentation for us. The biggest user of their services is Horse Riders, funnily enough they are far down the list for raising funds
Sorry chunkolini did'nt mean to take it off in a motorbikes vesus other road users thing but it certainly hits a nerve in some people.
I found it odd that some were coming up with excuses for the biker parking like that.Anyone parking like that (including car drivers) should have there licence taken away,

You think motor bikes get it rough, you try riding a push bike on the queens highway, taking in your life in your own hands, the number of reckless drivers of all engine driven machines is scary.
I cycle to work each day and I can safely say that I have to take evasive action to prevent a collision at least once a week, each time the fault would clearly be with the motorist. And its not 'cos they don't see you half the time, it 'cos they think it is acceptable to drive within 6 inches, cut you up or pull out in front.

.There's idiots everywhere, slightly different flavours and behaviours depending whether they're on a bike, bicycle or in a car.
It's why when you park stratigically in the emptiest, farthest corner of a car park there will always be something parked (badly) next to your car/bike when you return
For the best part of 10 years i cycled 15 odd miles into London 5 days a week- A20 onto the Old Kent Rd and then through Bermondsey and over London Bridge. I ended up accepting i'd get knocked off once every couple years... getting cut up and people pulling out without looking were daily occurences, the one that would have me off every now again was the ****** that'd pull alongside and turn left into a side street leaving me no escape route
Idiots of all flavours get confused by empty car parks... how the hell do you park in a bay without a big shiney landmark to aim at?

Shoxdr, Jezza Vine is not the Daily Star, he is The Daily Mail, the saint of impotent intolerant wingers from Datcheeeeet.
Air ambulances and Lifeboats being charidees?
I asked a life boat man this once. It is a deliberate policy, it keeps them independent and relatively free from politicising, and able to be flexible.
cyclists? awful people, pay no tax, no fuel bill, no MOT. Dirty lycra wearing hippies the lot of them.
Oh! I cycle a lot myself, we do have to acept being classed as a food product. But there are some idiots on pushbikes as well.
I have heard of a bunch of cycling rabble who race shopping bikes downhill.
Have we all calmed down yet? The British and their weird obsessions.
I made a simple observation about parking.

Here you go Mark,
This very Saturday, a few hundred yards from my house, a motorbike, and an Austin Martin decided to Race each other, a well thought out plan on on country roads with blind bends, but unfortunately a weekend occurrence with us who live in the country... they were probably having great fun with there 5 year old type mentality up till the moment the bike lost it....
I had little sympathy for the biker laying in the road with two broken legs and wrist (none actually) I did feel sorry for his girlfriend with a host of injury's, compound fractures etc(rideing pillion).. but I felt the most sorry for the poor girl that the outer control bike hit on the (WRONG) side of the road who was waiting at a junction on a pushbike..... she was found in a ditch about 20 yards from inpact.....
Skid tests show both vechials were over a ton, car fled and was late picked up by the police helecopter..... girl on push bike was airlifted by air ambulance....
I was hoping
on Saturday, and this is a regurlar'ish occurrence a few times a year, I hope they both never get to drive anything more than a push bike now....2 or 4 wheals if you want to drive like a Pratt do it on a track.....

You are right no sympathy these people are idiots.
I got mashed by one of them a log time back.
I am fortunate to have got away with it.

Makes me sad and angry, the fustration in feeling helpless... hope the poor girl makes a full recovery.
125's are only abut £16 these days. My thing is in the the highest band (£70 odd quid?)
On the plus side, I have more power than them and it's way cheaper to insure than my car

Errr... I have a feeling that other track users will sharp kick you in the nuts if you do.
