I think its okay to park in the same spot as another bike, as long as you give the other rider enough space to get out.

Ill even park in a spot with two bikes as long as theres enough space...

 

Parking in a spot with another bike is very questionable.. I only say that because you dont know the temper of the guy that parked there... He could be very cool and it wouldnt even bother him.. .OR he could be some roided out, rage, HD rider and hates Sport bikes and gets pissed off easily.. and it would be like you just killed his whole family... You never know how the other guy is going to react..

As far as the White striped space and "other" space. i havent parked in those spaces or asked..

Sidewalk parking Ive asked about and have done it... sidewalk is perfectly fine as long as your not blocking a fire lane/emergency exit/ blocking the whole sidewalk. ETC.

Unless you come across a Meter Maid that is on a power trip.... Then your just screwed in general! haha!

 

I agree.... and for pretty much the same reasons. Some people may see it as an invasion on "their spot". I can see this happening, especially in a pay spot.

 

While there are some areas like twisty hot spots, where parking your bike behind & staggered is acceptable, there are places (like in town) where parking behind someone else's bike isn't acceptable...certainly not in a pay spot.

 

I don't think twice about parking next to another bike, as long as there is plenty of room of course, however I will not do it if it is a pay spot.

I don't mind other bikers parking in my spot with me as long as they leave me plenty of room (I actually like the nice surprise of coming out of work and seeing a couple of bikes next to mine) but I would mind if I was in a pay spot unless it is a buddy of mine, or they saw me and asked.

 

I was meeting a buddy at the beach to eat at a restaurant and the metered spot had an hour and 20 min on it, I left room for him but we wound up leaving cause restaurant was closed sad panda
