It's actually pretty boring. People do like to pee outside a lot, though. Not like behind trees or anything either, just wherever it's convenient.

[–]Dracomantis 0 points1 point ago

Oh well, thats disappointing.

I do street photography, and a huge part of that is watching people without being seen, so thats where the interest came from, I would have thought there would be more shit going on. Ah well lol

[–]l30 8 points9 points ago

Wrong. If you know the license plate of a possible offending vehicle (if the case was they decided to back over that bike for some reason and you didn't see it) then you can compare damage on your bike against damage on the other vehicle to ascertain guilt. I had to do this to a guy who I suspected hit my car backing out of a shared parking lot at my house, we both had to have insurance agents come out and inspect the vehicles to determine whether marks on each vehicle were related.

[–]HairyB1ackDude 5 points6 points ago

The lady across the street from me backed out of her driveway directly into the side of my car. Huge dent, paint scraped etc.

I ask her if shes responsible, she of course says No. Its extremely obvious she is the culprit, my paint on her bumper, hers on my door, dents measure up- everything. Almost impossible for any other car to have caused the damage.

Cops come..."she won't admit to doing it, so theres nothing we can do".

Then, they proceeded to break my balls about the tinted windows.

[–]strands77 5 points6 points ago

Cops won't take the word of a hairy black dude over a female? What is this world coming to?

[–]deftlydexterous[!] 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, cops are useless. This is why you get the insurance companies involved. They'll do all sorts of things to save a buck. Even if the cop says it wasn't someones fault, the insurance companies will still try to pursue it if they think it will make someones rates go up or save them from having to pay out a claim.

[–]Andoo 0 points1 point ago

What the hell do these people think insurance companies do? Makes me think of Fight Club when he's staring at that burnt car.

[–]unimpresseddriver 3 points4 points ago

I say always assume that they won't without a court order and further assume it will get lost/overwritten before that court order hits. Unless there is an injury, you're generally shit out of luck.

[–]lowery007 -1 points0 points ago

I think it's enough proof; if you took a picture of the parking job and came out and the bike was layed over and scratched up it would be apparent that the people parked there did it. Plus they were parked there illegally so with photo proof they could easily get busted.

[–]hiwastar 1 point2 points ago

Unfortunately, from the "been there done that" department of my life, what you and I think is enough proof actually doesn't matter. It is what the responding officer thinks, and then, if he happens to think its enough to actually do anything more than tell you "tough titties", it is then up to a judge. It isn't worth it.

[–]lowery007 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I feel that, I've gotten fucked over so hard by police before. But I'm so much of a hot head I wouldn't rest until that parking space stealing bastard is brought to justice!

    Knowing who did it is entirely different than getting said person to pay for it. Even if you did end up getting said asshole to pay for your bike to be fixed (which is not a guaranteed assumption), you have to deal with a broken bike, wait for it to get fixed, and possibly deal with police and a court case.

    [–]accountnotfound2 0 points1 point ago

    Proof, it's what the law needs!

    [–]UnDire 0 points1 point ago

    I once discovered that merely having the plate number and make/model is sometimes worthless.

    [–]eromitlab 5 points6 points ago

    Exactly what I was thinking. Least the Explorer driver would do is roughly shove the bike out of their way, if s/he didn't feel like outright backing over it.

    [–]pablothe 1 point2 points ago

    At least he got the plate number.

    [–]cypherreddit 8 points9 points ago

    great! now you know exactly who the asshole is and still can't do shit (legally) about it

    [–]GiefDownvotesPlox 2 points3 points ago

    EXACTLY. If the guy decided to ram the bike with his car, yes there would maybe be damage to the bumper etc and then there is possible legal action here, but if the guy just fucking pushes the bike out of the way, and it gets damaged, I doubt the police will send the forensics guys out to take prints...

    [–]JHDarkLeg 0 points1 point ago

    I seem to be the only one around here that has an insurance company that takes care of all that shit for me. They pay for the damage, they track the guy down, they try to recover the costs from him/his insurance company. I just take my bike to the shop and get it fixed and never see a bill. Sure, I have to pay a deductible, but $250 isn't much to fix a bike.

    [–]cypherreddit 0 points1 point ago

    your rate would go up, you'd be out of a bike while it is in the shop, you will be out $250 (a strong fart can cause 250 in damage easily :P), and now you are on the radar of a person that runs over motorcycles. All because you (not you) responded to an asshole by being an asshole while putting yourself at risk.

    [–]JHDarkLeg 1 point2 points ago

    Yeah, it's a pain in the ass and I'd never risk it. But more reasonable parking lot damage incidents happen all the time, and with insurance it's not that bad. My rate wouldn't even go up depending on whether my insurance company agreed I wasn't at fault, so I'd only be out the deductible.

    [–]deftlydexterous[!] 1 point2 points ago

    If you have a decent insurance company, your rate will not go up if the damage is someone else's fault. Your insurance company will track down their insurance company, and their insurance company will end up paying for it, and his rates will go up. Been through this a couple times myself for accidents where I wasn't even remotely at fault.

    Still stupid.

    [–]crackofdawn 1 point2 points ago

    Best thing, if you have the time, is to park your bike there, then sit around 50 ft away and just wait for the asshole to come back.

    [–]accountnotfound2 -1 points0 points ago

    And do what?

    [–]crackofdawn 0 points1 point ago

    Get your point across while simultaneously making sure the asshole doesn't knock your bike over. You can casually stroll up to it 5 minutes after he's trying to figure out what to do and hop on your bike and see if he says anything before taking off.

    [–]VodkaHappens 0 points1 point ago

    Well...you have that picture, and his plate number. I'm pretty sure whatever happened he would be glad to pay for.

    [–]poteaser 0 points1 point ago

    He would have to prove it, who's to say some random individual didn't push it out of the way instead of the explorer owner?

    [–]Sobek -1 points0 points ago

    parking lots have cameras

    [–]hiwastar 1 point2 points ago

    Yup, definitely would not recommend doing this. Asshole would probably either try moving it and tipping it in the process or just running it over.

      [–]bearfx 42 points43 points ago

      If the person is unfamiliar with motorcycles it is unlikely they will realize it is that easy.

      Of course if the forks are locked, it isn't that easy.

      [–]rev_bird 22 points23 points ago

      Phew. For a second I was worried he was going to not be blocked in.

      [–]cypherreddit 9 points10 points ago

      I never lock my forks for 2 reasons:

      1. those damn locks jam all the time

      2. if someone is trying to move my bike, I'd rather they do it easily than be surprised by a locked fork and have it fall on them

      Keep in mind that there are only 2 reasons to move someone else's motorcycle. Tight, limited parking (1 parking lot had little space for motorcycles to park, so they were parked 5 deep) and a fellow motorcyclist needs to move it to get his bike out. Or the motorcyclist parked somewhere they shouldn't have (like the sidewalk next to propane tanks!)

      [–]fireinthesky7 3 points4 points ago

      Or 3. Theft, which is why I tend to keep my forks locked.

      [–]cypherreddit 2 points3 points ago

      anyone with the technical know-how to get my bike out of gear and to bypass the ignition, probably also knows that stealing a 30 year old suzuki isn't worth the risk of jail-time when there is a fancy new chromed up harley just down the street

      [–]fireinthesky7 1 point2 points ago

      Hah, fair enough. I figure my bike's rare enough that anyone trying to steal and flip it in my city would have a hard time doing so without getting caught.

      [–]deftlydexterous[!] 0 points1 point ago

      Around here, is someone wants to steel a bike, they just roll it up a ramp into the back of a truck and drive away. Locking the forks means it takes extra trouble, though Ive heard of them just kicking over the bike onto a dolly and lugging that up the ramp if its a small bike.

      [–]Gangstuh_Nugget 0 points1 point ago

      Damn! Couldn't they just put it in their car boot and take it home? What's stopping them from doing that?

      [–]deltarob 4 points5 points ago

      Sport bikes are REALLY FUCKING HEAVY that's what's stopping them

      edit: apparently my memory of really fucking heavy is rather wrong

      [–]BanditSam 4 points5 points ago

      Trust me, THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY THAT HEAVY you'd only need two people to get it in the back of a van in about a minute.

      [–]cgimusic 3 points4 points ago

      I can confirm this. At a place I used to work someone drove a van in to the carpark, threw a few bikes in the back with the help of someone else and drove off. Fortunately they were stupid enough to do it right under CCTV without obscuring their licence plate.

      [–]cypherreddit 6 points7 points ago

      and locked forks wont stop that either. People were stealing harleys at my university by simply being 3 big guys and lifting the bike into the back of the van.

      Luckily I have some sense and drive suzuki crusiers, nobody wants those despite being a better vehicle

      [–]deltarob 0 points1 point ago

      I thought they were in the area of 500kg?

      [–]BanditSam 7 points8 points ago

      More like 200kg.

      My old Bandit weighs 198kg dry. I don't know where you got 500kg.

      Maybe a Honda Goldwing would weigh closer to 500kg but certainly not a sportbike.

      [–]deltarob 0 points1 point ago

      that seems insanely light

      [–]Saithier 2 points3 points ago

      A good modern sport bike (like the BMW S1000RR) weighs 207kg fully fueled (wet weight), and produces about 200hp at the rear wheel. Giving them an insane power to weight ratio, which is why they are so fast.

      *edit: I accidentally a 0.

              They're worth a lot of money however. This still doesn't answer my question; what stops people with the ability to, to just steal a motorbike and put it in their vehicle and drive off?

              [–]Ironfist 1 point2 points ago

              That is exactly how most bikes are stolen. Takes about 30 seconds to lift the bike up into a truck.

              [–]Gangstuh_Nugget 0 points1 point ago

              It's crazy how easy it is. I didn't even wonder how motorcyclists kept their vehicles secure until now. Guess you can't?

              [–]Ironfist 1 point2 points ago

              Wheel locks, chaining the bike up to something, alarms, etc. help. Nothing is 100% secure but most people are honest and won't mess with your stuff any way.

              [–]to_string_david 0 points1 point ago

                [–]Suppafly 0 points1 point ago

                Really nothing, they get stolen all the time by rednecks that pick them up and put them in the back of trucks.

                [–]accountnotfound2 0 points1 point ago

                If the fork is locked you can still push the bike far enough away to get out.

                [–]gixxer600 4 points5 points ago

                Maybe steering or wheel lock? I have both on mine.

                [–]DoctorDorian 2 points3 points ago

                Why the wheel lock? I'd imagine most bike theft is from some guy in a cargo van pushing the bike over and driving off.

                [–]meta_stable 8 points9 points ago

                There was an AMA of bike thief and he claimed most guys drive away on their stolen bike. He also claimed the ones that steal using a van are the amateurs that usually get caught.

                [–]cypherreddit 3 points4 points ago

                believable since the van people are obvious thieves and the riders aren't

                [–]gixxer600 5 points6 points ago

                The front wheel lock also has an audible alarm that goes off whenever the bike is tipped or moved.....I guess the locking part doesn't serve much use except for stopping the bike from being rolled away. Even with the steering lock you can move the bike in a nice circle without the front wheel lock.

                This is what I have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yffVZpcPiY

                [–]Zrs1 1 point2 points ago

                This is what I was thinking. So unless he has the wheel locked and not just the steering column locked the guy can just pull the clutch and move it out of the way.

                [–]Evernoob 14 points15 points ago

                Lot of people in this thread saying the driver of the car will likely run the bike over, drive off, and then there would be no proof.

                I find all of that pretty unlikely. Driving over that motorbike will cause a) lots of noise and attention and people watching you deliberately running over a motorbike; b) damage to your car.

                Even if you don't mind your car being damaged, which is also unlikely, it's going to provide evidence that the damage on your car is consistent with having recently driven over a bike when they track it down due to the bike owner having a photo of your car - including the license plate.

                If that was your car, would you really just bump down the bike and drive over it?

                [–]JimmerUK 6 points7 points ago

                Agreed. I'd say it would be pretty damn difficult to successfully reverse over a motorbike. It'd probably get stuck underneath, and beach the minivan.

                  It's worthless to the insurance company because they can't use it to recover damage either.

                  [–]JHDarkLeg 0 points1 point ago

                  Insurance companies employ investigators for a reason. If it's significant enough damage with paint left behind, they can definitely send a guy out to have a look at the offending and customer vehicles. Even if they don't use this information to go after the offender's insurance company, it's still done in order to prevent owners from claiming owner caused damage was done by someone else in order to avoid the premium increase for an at-fault claim.

                  [–]cypherreddit 9 points10 points ago

                  1. a before picture is not proof of a hit and run.

                  2. police don't issue tickets for parking like this in private lots

                  3. if they did issue an illegal parking ticket, both parties would get one

                  [–]ferwick 2 points3 points ago

                  Without a key, it would still be possible to put the bike in neutral and move it somewhere else, especially if the steering lock was not engaged. Wouldn't really be solid evidence.

                    lol that van thinks it is a motorcycle

                    [–]apullin 1 point2 points ago

                    The guy will just back over the bike and drive off. It's happened to me, and I wasn't even blocking anyone in; someone just wanted to take a short cut through the motorcycle parking area.

                    The flip side of this is if the bike has some of the dangerously loud aftermarket pipes, it really should be destroyed, picked up whole and put into a crusher.

                    [–]amolad 7 points8 points ago

                    Of course, it's some lobotomized asshole with a beat up minivan and stick figure family in the window.

                    [–]low_and_slow 5 points6 points ago

                    TIL an Explorer is a minivan.

                    [–]Devanismyname 11 points12 points ago

                    That will teach him. Teach him that you're a fucking idiot and that his suv CAN run over peoples bikes.

                    [–]pwnyoface 2 points3 points ago

                    then the guy runs it over.

                    [–]noddegamra 2 points3 points ago

                    What kind of bike is this? I like.

                    [–]kerunt 3 points4 points ago

                    It's a Honda CBR600RR, 2007+

                    [–]foolishnesss 0 points1 point ago

                    I can almost guarantee the guy took a picture, got back on his bike and found another space to park in.

                    its okay guys he donates to cancer charity

                    I solved this once by putting my Oxford chain around the retards alloys... I've not seen him parking in bike bays since

                    [–]teeelo 3 points4 points ago

                    It boggles the mind how much damage someone can do to your vehicle while you are not there. Sugar in the gas tank, deflate the tires, loosen the lugnuts....parking your car and driving away unharmed is truly something to behold.

                    [–]cypherreddit 0 points1 point ago

                    okay, I admit it. I put a teaspoon of sugar in your gas tank every thursday. I'm a terrible neighbor

                    [–]teeelo 4 points5 points ago

                    You cut that out this instant.

                    [–]gyrorobo 1 point2 points ago

                    As someone who has had a tire come off while driving from a tampered lugnut, please don't do this. You put too many other people in danger.

                    [–]InvalidWhistle 0 points1 point ago

                    When I was in high school I was at a party and this drunk kid started going crazy emotional and was swinging on any and everyone, even the girls. So being the passive agressive asshole I was back then, I went to his car and deflated all four tires. I didn't puncture them, just deflated them to about 10psi or so I imagine. He was drunk and drove off eventually after getting shit kicked by about 5 guys or so. He had to drive about 15 miles or so home and completely ruined all four tires. After about 20 minutes after he left I have never been more scared in my life that I might have just killed this dude. It really wasn't worth it. I have learned my lesson. thats all just wanted to share.

                    [–]teeelo 1 point2 points ago

                    Drunk driving asshole would have trumped your little stunt. But you also wised up so good on you.

                    [–]pooperdooper -2 points-1 points ago

                    sugar in the gas tank wont fuck shit up.

                    [–]InvalidWhistle 2 points3 points ago

                    Any sort of gritty substance put into a fuel tank is going to have an adverse effect on the car's performance. Salt and sugar are probably the most effective, since they do not dissolve in the gas. Sand is less effective because it is heavier and will sink to the bottom of the tank. Of course, it depends on how much sand you are funneling in.

                    In 1994, Jim Thornton, a forensics professor at Berkeley, carried out a series of tests that ultimately proved sugar can only dissolve in gasoline in minutely small quantities. Any sugar added to a tank would stay in the same state, and this would make it difficult to circulate. Indeed, the filter systems used in most motor vehicles would prevent the mass movement of sugar anyway. However, sugar can cause filters and injectors to become blocked.

                    If sugar does find a way into a fuel tank, whether maliciously or accidentally, it still needs to be removed. Dropping the tank, emptying out the old fuel and changing the filters and injectors is a relatively inexpensive operation that will help prevent further problems.

                    Granted it won't "fuck shit up" they way it used to or how people perceive it might but still, it will and can fuck up your financial situation a bit.

                    Relative to what? That's still going to be $1000+ to have done at a shop.

                    [–]InvalidWhistle 0 points1 point ago

                    maybe relative to the cost of the car.

                      [–]shirro 4 points5 points ago

                      Vehicles like this are driven by people who reverse over their own toddlers. I wouldn't leave anything I valued behind one.

                      [–]OcifferWiggles 0 points1 point ago

                      Nothing like some unnecessary confrontation that could cost thousands.

                      [–]AintNeverGonnaStop 1 point2 points ago

                      Why is it that Redditors still seem to agree that two wrongs make a right? Being a douchebag doesn't make someone else stop being a douchebag.

                      [–]NovusHomoSapiens -1 points0 points ago

                      But that would teach the other douchebag a lesson to stop committing douchebaggery.

                      [–]AintNeverGonnaStop 1 point2 points ago

                      It really doesn't.

                      I need to know what happened when the suv wanted to leave!

                      [–]PantoneGhost -1 points0 points ago

                      I think the Explorer would just drive forward over the grass divider.

                      Why is the bottom right corner of the rear window blacked out? I can't imagine that being any kind of personal data.

                      [–]NewsDean 1 point2 points ago

                      In Texas, we'd park it like that and sit nearby smoking a cigar and cleaning off our gun while waiting for them to return. Videotape what an angry idiot looks like, and after a few moments climb on the bike and cruise away without a word.

                      [–]bbowers825 0 points1 point ago

                      The bike is not locked in place, most likely just the handle bars are locked. All the "asshole" would do is move the bike out of his way (Into the middle of the street probably) and then back out and leave. He doesn't HAVE to hit the bike to get out of the spot...

                      [–]ka5p3r -1 points0 points ago

                      and so we have two idiots.one who park's the car where ever they like and one who park's there bike where ever they like.how many time have you gone to a mall"or where ever" and seen a bike parked on the sidewalk near the door or a bike parked in the handicap parking areas.If i see a bike parked in the wrong area i love to fuk with it.once at brea mall i dumped my coke in the gas tank.:)

                      [–]ohmygodbees 0 points1 point ago

                      I live in vancouver and there is not enough motorcycle parking so will Block idiot in cars in whenever I see this which is often.

                      Ya know, if the SUV driver enters from the front they could reverse right into it, call the law, and have the bike owner pay for damages.

                      [–]quaste 1 point2 points ago

                      Well I think the van owner still has to check where he is going, but yo do have a point: this is a scenario where the bike gets damaged and the bike owner is partly responsible.

                      [–]cypherreddit -1 points0 points ago

                      yep, someone else being an asshole doesn't give you the right to be one too

                      [–]Suppafly 0 points1 point ago

                      SUV driver would get a ticket for illegal backing. If you back into something while controlling a vehicle, it's your fault.

                      [–]jeepdave 0 points1 point ago

                      While true, if you park behind someone in such a way you are not visible and are blocking access a judge may throw it out. The SUV driver should simply call and have it towed.

                      Who in this day and age still gets part of their finger in the picture? You are more than likely using a cell phone and can see it as you take the picture... upvote for parking your bike behind that guy, taking a picture and leaving though.

                      [–]Thanatomania 2 points3 points ago

                      To be fair its as bright as shit out and the screen is probably a bitch to see, but your point remains valid.

                      Photography, you’re doing it wrong.

                      [–]leeferman -5 points-4 points ago

                      It's weird that in the "I used a handicap stall" thread a few days (weeks?) ago, the majority of comments said something along the lines of "those stalls aren't RESERVED for the handicapped, it's just nice to have them there".

                      And then this thread pops up...

                      [–]cypherreddit 1 point2 points ago

                      ... but those stalls aren't reserved for the handicapped, whereas these two parking spaces are reserved for motorcycles

                      [–]spudstoned -2 points-1 points ago

                      I'd leave it there and sit and watch from a distance. As soon as the owner approaches, I'd get my phone videoing the guys response.

                      Alternatively, ninja rocks and continue your day.

                      [–]venerated 0 points1 point ago

                      Better thing would have been to park blocking their driver side door. Sure they could get in from another door, but it would clearly say "hey you're an asshole."

                      [–]Theropissed 0 points1 point ago

                      Seriously what is wrong with calling the cops or the lot owners?

                      [–]jonathanquist -2 points-1 points ago

                      this is b.s. i always see stupid tiny motorcyles in car parking spaces grrrrrrrr. screw motorcylcles and their uncanny ability to trick me into thinking there is a flying spaghetti monster damned spot!
