    Post Boston motorcycle parking

    Welcome to the Deval Patrick Committee web site

    after getting my first "angled parking" ticket. i immediately wanted to do something about it. moderators, make this a sticky. this could happen!! it's almost on the front page and top issue.

    how else would you park a motorcycle unless you angled it to the curb?

    Youre supposed to park parallel to the curb. And then the state will whine about parking problems. Story of our lives.

    That's after some jagoff backs into your bike because he doesn't see it and knocks it over.

    Or some cager gets pissed at you for taking up an entire spot with 1 bike. (happened to me, granted I was holding it for some friends that were on their way in a car)

    For the record, to get a parking ticket from a cop you would have to block a hydrant and a handicap ramp at the same time, and then give the cop an attitude.

    +1 on the meter bitches, they are fucking inhuman. Orange ticket= nazi
    blue ticket= cop, probably noone here knows that, cause you have to a major ass to get a ticket from us.

    i agree. the only time i've ever gotten a blue ticket in boston was leaving my car parked too late into the morning on newbury st - it was in a temporary construction zone that started at 7am. the detail officer wrote a ticket and put it on my windshield, but didn't have the car towed right away as they hadn't started work in that spot yet. not only that, but after i came out and thanked him for not towing the car & shot the shit with him for a few minutes, he ended up not even filing the ticket. i didn't even ask! really nice guy.

    Gotta love the city, cop only gave you a ticket cause he had too, also keeps the nazi's from giving you one on top of it, and then took it back. No tow, someone send this link to the Kham character, he would like it.

    Re: Boston motorcycle parking

    I get crap for filling a parking spot at Tufts. I pay for a parking pass for the Tundra and have to pay an additional $5 for a sticker for the motorcycle. Some C had to the nerve to write on the back of a piece of paper a disertation as to why a motorcycle should not park in a car's parking spot.

    If I find out who it was this is what I'd say to this F C. I pay more to be in this spot than you do. Does it make any difference if I have my full size Tundra in that spot vs my motorcycle? Go and report me to the all mighty Campus Police. I'll go up there with you and stand there and listen to what they have to say. Then I'll laugh may A off when they tell you that I have every right to park there. Fn D.


    There is a bike that parks out on the street and has been knocked over twice buy Ignorant F's. I was able to get a plate number of one of them. I think he reported it as a hit and run with withnesses. A few months later he had all new plastics.
