    This was on the sidewalk at 53rd and Park (I think). Not sure why. Motorcycle dominoes.

    Must be something like that or some social experiment or something. It's too perfect.

    They're all down on the kickstand side. That's a fake situation.

    I would have put the closer half down on the other side.

    In NYC, that is probably considered art.

    Classic weight saving technique! No side stands. You just lay the bike down gently on its side. A bonus is that you scrape off some paint and metal each time you do it.. for even MORE weight savings.:rofl

    Where I park at work some scooter guy haphazardly parked his scooter. I watched as he walked off and it tipped over on a crotch rocket. Didn't hit hard enough to tip over the crotch rocket, but probably did a little damage. I'm not sure what it is with the scooters, but they seem to be parked in the weirdest places.

    Then there is the person who parks so close you can't get it off the kick stand....

    Extremely agitated last time someone did it to me, I looked up the situation on the internet.

    Some of the popular suggestions were "Kill switch him", "reverse throttle and clutch control cables", and "Kick it over. Better his bike than yours."

    I decided to write a generic extremely passive aggressive letter to have on hand if the need should ever arise.
