Move it on over

San Jose, California
After struggling daily for a spot in her apartment complex’s parking structure, Yvette came home one night after a 15 hour day to find the only “open” parking space to actually be occupied by a motorcycle (which, by the way, could have been parked in the designated motorcycle spaces but was not).
What did Yvette do? She got out of her car, moved the bike over, and pulled into the spot. Then took a picture. And apparently started what she calls a “passive-aggressive parking revolution” when other tenants began to do the same thing over the next week.

Just my personal opinion…but Yvette kicks ass!

This is hysterical. I should’ve done that with the little fart buggy in ‘Deceptive Parking’. That or parked in the spot anyway and trap him in there.

Well, I just hope Yvette’s car was OK after the owner of the cycle came back to find it had moved. I could see him (or her?) “accidentally” banging it back and forth on the way out of the spot.

If she touched my bike she wouldn’t need to worry about where to park in future

Yvette would be lucky to be able to DRIVE her car, much less park it if she touched MY bike. Designated motorcycle spaces or not, a parking space is a parking space, whether it is a bike or any other road approved mode of transportation!
And as far as Issa is concerned, go ahead trap the bike in there, I guarantee you that you would picking your car up at the impound lot!

I second that sinister.. I think the lack of respect people have for motorcycles is becoming worse. We pay the same toll, the same parking fines, abide by the same traffice rules so why should we have to make exceptions for those who don’t ride?

I agree whole heartedly wih the previous posts. The story kind of pissed me off but then I have a bit of an issue with it. My bike weighs at least 400 Lbs and when it’s parked the front wheel is locked, so how did “Yvette” after a 15hr day “move” the bike? I think someone is full of it…
but regardless, if we don’t touch your precious cars don’t be touching our bikes, or perhaps we start a “revolution” (and good luck catching us…

you know what, though? when square footage is at a premium, why should a tiny little bike get to bogart six-plus times the amount of space it actually needs? that’s just wasteful. especially when there are designated spots just for bikes that cars have no use of. i’m assuming you get ticked when a car takes up more than it’s fare share of space. how self-righteous would you be if a car was overflowing into a designated motorcycle parking spot?
and bravo for responsible motorcyclists, but for the record, in terms of percentages from my own personal experience sharing the road, even though bikers are SUPPOSED to follow the same traffic rules as drivers -more often than drivers- they don’t.
and also, that little bike certainly doesn’t look like it weighs 400 lbs.

Not so, my friend. I have parked my car in spaces like this and had the motorcycle towed. My friends now call me aggressive~aggressive.
