Anyone ever think that if they do park in a regular spot and park in between 2 cars up at the front of the spot, that someone could not look and just whip in thinking it was an open spot and hit your bike?
I think about it all the time. Depends on where I am as to where I park
That's why you park shallow, it happens.

For the big stores and shopping centers, the good part is that unless you are in or blocking Handicapped Parking or parked in or blocking a firelane, most police have no jurisdiction. It's private property; most state's laws only address fire lanes and handicapped parking. This won't apply, however, to sidewalks that are city property. Check your own state laws...in Texas, I don't think I've ever parked in a regular space at a Wal-Mart, mall, etc.
I have not had any problems either. At wally world I park in that big ass open spot by the building in between their entrances, most other big stores I park by the HC. Just keep in mind guys, that the striped lines by the HC area is so they can unload wheelchairs with their lifts, etc, so remember that when parking in the striped areas. I normally try to park in a striped area not by HC spots for this reason.

I usually park on the sidewalk if theres a safe and easy way on, If not i put the bike at an angle at the back of the spot so people see it in there

I almost always park in a "car" spot, but I make sure to just barily get into the spot, sometimes I even stick out of it an inch or two just so the bike can be seen so no car rushes into what they think is an open spot only to smash my baby 
I get nervous parking on a sidewalk cuz i don't want people touching or dropping bookshelves on my bike.....

/\/\ Haha, good reference. There was a cop who always parked his bike on our sidewalk right in front of the Domino's. So, either its legal in TX, or he just didn't care. I've never actually parked on the sidewalk though, but I see people do it all the time.

i usually park in those hash lines too by the handicapped parking...i just park deep in so if someone were to unload the bike would be out of the way...i try to avoid parking in a spot...although i do forget sometimes...because i'm scared of a car pulling into the spot quickly and hitting my bike...it does happen...I heard on the radio the other day and felt so bad for this girl...she has a bike and works at a mall close to where i am....and she got onto the radio somehow and told them that someone had ran into her bike while she was in the mall working and had caused $1200 worth of damage...

piggys still DO have jurisdiction in private property to give tickets as they see fit. just because you are on a corporations property dont mean youre safe. i got a ticket for parking ON MY OWN FRONT YARD! IM NOT KIDDING! i park as close to the buidling on the sidewalk as possible, never gotten a ticket for that though.

I have to ask how and why?
had a small get together at the house, street was lined with cars around the corner and my driveway was full, i had nowhere else to go but the lawn. popped it in park and started sippin coughy. piggy pulls up not even an hour later and walks into my yard and writes up my citation. apparently it is illegal to remain parked in your own front lawn for more than a certain period of time. and no i was not in the 8 ft grace period that is "city property". oh yeah it was a car, not a bike. BUT, my pops is good freinds with city prosecutor, so i got it taken care of and never had to pay.
reminds me of a time when i was intoxicated in public (one foot on my driveway, one in the street) and almost went to jail... friggin stupid laws, im sorry for the piggys who have to enforce them and look like hos.
oh.. and CRF, how much do you weigh? does the 250 handle you well? my 360 2 stroke is facked and i want to get back on some dirt!

Perhaps in Oklahoma, but not in Texas. That's why you need to know your individual state law. I can do donuts in my front yard and park a semi there.

so you didnt get a ticket for being parked on your lawn you got a ticket for a time violation.

You can't park vehicles in front yards in my neighborhood either. It's a covenant meant to keep the people who would use them as driveways and junkyards from doing just that. I wouldn't get mad at the police, they're just the messengers. But rather blame THOSE people who do use their front yards as a scrap yard, because they are the reasons we have rules and regulations like that.
It just sucks that we get the bad end of the deal, but that's life.
(and please don't refer to them as "piggys".......I have many friends in law enforcement, and they get enough crap as it is.)

sorry ill read up on all my local ordinances... a time violation in my front yard.... ill refer to them as i please and i didnt blame them, as you can see in my post. i blamed the laws and those behind them, legislators if you have to pick someone that i blame, for not writing in a SIMPLE clause stating if it (vehicle, vehicles) is/are not in a decrepit state then it is legal so your piggy friends cant take their bad day out on me because of a technicality. they cant cope with the stress of the job and dole justice fairly, get them off the street. i treat EVERY officer, EVERY single one, with respect. "yes sir, no sir" straight look in the eyes, never bullshit them. 90% of the time they let things slide in my favor, but those other 10%.. well you know what they say about them... hense the irretractable name piggy

dont be mad at the cops for doing their job. its code enforcements job to give tickets to people who are ignorant or who flat out violate the law . you just so happen to be one of those who are ignorant when it comes to your local laws. nothing to be ashamed
so you only give respect when things are being over looked in your favor ? oh yea thats right your daddy will just get you out of another ticket . look a cop in the eyes and its yes sir but sure do blast them on the internet, real respectful
