I pull up in among the big steel posts at the end of the rows where they got it marked off no parking. I try to get in behind the posts enough a car has to hit the post before they hit me. They don't have any motorcycle only parking marked off anywhere around here except the VA Hospital and those usually have some ______ ________ car in them.

I use auto spaces as bike spaces around here are too small for a Spyder.

I too, use a regular auto parking space.

I only park in car spaces unless the motorcycle parking is just a generic, large parking area. If the motorcycle parking is striped for individual bikes then no, I won’t park my Spyder there since I would end up using 2-3 individual motorcycle spots.

Car spaces mostly. Last week in Helen GA did use the MC spaces but those are def wide enough for the Spyders...

I use a motorcycle space if available. But I'll use a regular space if it's in the SHADE........

The only place I usually see dedicated motorcycle parking where I live is at Harley dealerships. That said, I have a disabled plate - so I usually get prime parking.

I park where spaces are available. If there is a MC designated area, that's what I use. Some MCs/scooters are skinny and some are wide. As far as I'm concerned MC designated parking areas are there for anything licensed accordingly..... just like handicap areas. I've never heard of any store towing or ticketing any vehicle because part of the vehicle was not within the lines they painted on the ground. Another consideration is the designated areas for motorcycles, bicycles, handicap, etc. are there not only for the convenience of the users, but also to maximize use of the parking lot. If there's scooter/MC parking available, that's where they want them to be parked, instead of a larger auto spot. Finding a lone little scooter/MC in the middle of a larger parking spot in a crowded lot is not a welcoming sight.

We park in the "cage" parking spots all the time, but take advantage of the "motorcycle" status when riding a ferry (Western WA)... First on, first off is kinda nice! And yes, we now qualify for senior discount making the ride a bit nicer.
