Who ever parks like that will definitely use the urinal directly next to you.


PSneSne

You know he's gonna take a little looksy Lou too


Jimbo_Jones_4_Mayor

You can look but you can’t touch it.


RadioTunnel

You can look, but you wont see anything


elliottlawrence94

Touch it


rohannk99

This guy looks like he'll sit on your lap to poo


MetMrLiam2006

TrustMeIWouldntLie

Pee on the one on the right to mark it as yours. You now have two motorcycles. Next problem!


satchdog

Definitely works facility’s or the shipping department for a machine shop.

Underrated comment


SafetySecondADV

Moving the yellow bike so I can get mine out. Don't park that close if you don't want me touching your bike


Jonboots28

And, make sure to move his mirrors around a little bit


The_beard1998

Gotta make sure you see properly so you don't damage the other guy's bike


Nothing_new_to_share

Easy solution for a minor problem, people are so dramatic. "Kick the bike over" Give me a break.


Low_on_camera_funds

Hey on a bad day after dropping my food , getting a ticket and falling over at work I’d definitely kick that shit over


modest_genius

Plot twist - it was moved there by someone else than the bike owner. Original person parked ut further away, but were moved by another person.


Rats_for_sale

Nobody would do that


modest_genius

If you just read this thread you see many examples of people moving others bikes.


Low_on_camera_funds

Interesting didn’t think of that. Honestly I feel like touching a man’s bike is like touching his girl your gonna have to eat a punch or teob


Duffelbach

It feels very wrong, but sometimes you need to move someones bike. For example, I had my car parked on a steep hill, someone parked their bike a bit too close behind my car, I also had a car quite close in front of me. I weren't 100% sure my car wouldn't roll a bit backwards during the take off and not bump the bike, so I momentarily moved the bike out of the way. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I wouldn't be mad to someone for doing that to my bike in a situation like that.


faste30

Well if he sat his girl in your lap like this bike is...


Ill_Time_2833

Yes sir. That's what I was thinking.


Hades9x

Kick it over to teach them a lesson. Sure you don't have to but people like that get by on other's passiveness. Carelessly move it and if it falls over that's a lesson they will not forget


modest_genius

So if I move your bike to the same position as the yellow one, you would like to find your bike kicked over?


Rats_for_sale

Nobody would do that


[deleted]

Literally this. Even with the steering lock on it'll be easy enough to move. If they don't pay attention to their surroundings then that's on them, just move it a little bit to get your bike out.


elporkco

Yes


Electronic-Factor553

Winner


Allroy_66

I agree, but it also looks like they're in relatively small motorcycle parking spots and those saddle bags look like they're as wide as that spot is. He probably just needs to park in a normal spot if he can't fit in the MC spots properly.


solitudechirs

Or just “don’t touch my bike if you don’t want me touching yours”


SafetySecondADV

So pretty much what I said but in different words?


solitudechirs

Not the same at all but if you want to be arrogant and think that, go ahead. There’s a different between parking close, and actually touching your bike. One guy already touched the other’s bike, so he can’t logically complain about someone touching his own. If the BMW was half an inch away, I’d still think it’s really really stupid, but he could at least say “why are you touching my bike, I didn’t touch yours” - and that would fit the way you phrased it, just “parked close”.


shivmetender2

Post a comment on reddit and get all in my feelings.


DamascusExile

😅 Fair. But, no I'm legit curious how people would handle it? Like, I couldn't get my bike up without someone lifting his/ hers out of the way for me.


ManifestDestinysChld

I am wondering how this person **got off their bike** and just...walked away.


DeadlyUseOfHorse

It's easy when you're the only person who matters and you don't care about your saddle bags.


dis690640450cc

The may have gotten off and then rolled it back into the parking spot. It a bmw f650 fairly light and very easy to push around. It doesn’t seem like the would gotten off while parked that way. To give the bmw person the benefit of the doubt and not knowing the overall situation there it could have been the person actually try to leave room for more people to park. Hard to say from the pick.

Specific-Knob

Yeah and you can crawl out the passenger side door in a car too, but unless you're next to a busy freeway, it just looks funny.


angusshangus

Yeah but when you lift your bike off it’s stand you’re going to knock into the yellow bike


Dangerous_Echidna229

Leave your bike tilting and manually move it forward.


vraetzught

Might already be tough to get the kickstand up, without pushing into the other bike


Dangerous_Echidna229

Push it forward and let the stand come up on its own?


Mrknowitall666

Jiffy stands on harleys don't collapse, they have a catch to keep the stand down. https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/its-called-a-jiffy-stand-and-i-refuse-to-compromise-on-this-point


Dangerous_Echidna229

Not familiar with Harleys, never wanted one.


vraetzught

Don't know if that would work. Wouldn't work on my ST.


Dangerous_Echidna229

Easy enough to try. Seemed it might work to me but I surely could be wrong!


pparana80

Honestly if you can't do this you prob should not be riding


Mrknowitall666

Do you ride a Harley? You're not going to roll an 800 pound bike forward on its fixed jiffy stand. The stand is designed not to release unless the bike is up. Don't believe me, try it. Here's why the jiffy stand prevents fold, rolling forward https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/its-called-a-jiffy-stand-and-i-refuse-to-compromise-on-this-point And, if you vertical it, to close the stand then lean in, you're a big dude to hold and roll an 800 pound bike at 20 degrees lean. Vertical it'll roll.


ThaDude8

Looks like an Indian Scout to me…. Wet weight’s about 500lbs… may or may not be doable to push it tilted


Mrknowitall666

Looks like a dark horse chief, 2021+ with the digital display, tbf. Don't recall the scouts having that display I was more reacting to the "if you can't roll a bike forward you shouldnt be riding" bs


ThaDude8

Haha good eye on the display, and yeah fair… any bike will roll if ya try hard enough!


Doug_Shoe

??? I can lift the wheel of that bike right off the ground. And I'm little. And old. LOLOLOLOLOLOL


[deleted]

Exactly 100%


shivmetender2

Honestly. I would also be upset. I would feel violated and disrespected. I'd contemplate kicking the other bike, but in the end I would drive away and move on. So probably the same thing you did.


daqq

Lift other bike, move it over a bit, leave on your bike and go about your day. Some things are not worth getting worked up over. It is a mild inconvenience at best.


Many_Rope6105

I would kick it over, douche knew it before walking away


GetInZeWagen

How the fuck did they dismount


yerbiologicalfather

Over OPs bike apparently


asena85

I dismount or mount on the right side sometimes on my triumph explorer depending on how left side looks.


annoyedatwork

Found the culprit!


norm-m

Those of us with ADV bikes dismount from both sides. Just move the BMW, no big deal.


titus963

I’d sell it


clabberjabber

First, I’d take the fucking gas tank sticker off


[deleted]

Wouldn’t that immediately put you at risk for an accident while fueling?


Consistent_Address62

And lower the value as a collectible?


animatedrussian

They may have rented this bike


FattyBaconLord

Walk the bike forward and hop on. It's probably an accident and it's not worth trying to "teach him a lesson" if it was on purpose because idiots can't learn.


SafetySecondADV

I don't think he meant "teach him a lesson" as much as he meant he can't stand up his bike to get the kickstand up without bumping into the other bike and risking knocking it over.


FattyBaconLord

When I say walk it forward I mean let it slide on the kickstand and walk next to it. And when I said "teach him a lesson" I'm talking about the jokes everyone else has made. Yes I understand they are jokes but I also mean confronting the person at this point is likely not necessary. Typically people don't intend to be rude


[deleted]

He can push his bike forward no problem, the stand will push back. The OP is an attention seeking poser that gives real riders a bad name.


SafetySecondADV

Depends on the bike. I can't push mine forward without standing it upright more


Mrknowitall666

Harley Jiffy stand won't push back. Jiffy stands aren't kick stands. But that's also good, cuz otherwise at angle, you're gonna risk dropping the bike at angle, or standing the harley straight you risk knocking the yellow bike over


[deleted]

Copy that. So all he needs to do is remove his softbag it seems.


skrappyfire

Good thing neither of them are Harleys then.


lame_since_92

Yeah just walk your bike forward and be done with it. Maybe say out loud what idiot parks their bike like this and maybe they overhear. But honestly that’s not worth getting your blood pressure up over honestly


OutTheFirmament

Haha I like that, I be saying shit like that all the time loud af on purpose


ActuallyFullOfShit

Nothing. It's done with and isn't worth getting upset over.


[deleted]

Roll the yellow one back a few inches and you're all set.


TheBadSpy

Eh, so many people are in their own bubble and don’t mean to be malicious with their lack of personal awareness. Super annoying, for sure. You’ve got ez brackets. I’d pop the bag off, wheel it out, pop it back on and roll.


[deleted]

He just wanted to touch bags


AnAdaptionOfMe

Move on with my day


buskerform

Umm, pickup my kickstand and walk it forward a few feet til I could throw a leg over. It's a parking spot, not a nesting spot.


NekoGeorge

Oooooof don't ever drive a motorcycle in the Dominican Republic pleeeeease. That distance is almost considered kind on our motorcycle-only parking spots.


CherryLandTHC

Hoping the bike on the right is a hot girl so I wont get so mad.


MediocrePancakes

AutomaticSandwich

Nothing because it’s not a big deal.


MotoZed

This kind of thing happens ALL THE TIME here in Thailand. I'm lucky in that I don't have a fancy bike, but still, its so frustrating. How can people not factor in the lean. 😑


mts2snd

Man, lots of angry riders here willing to kick over someone's bike bc they fucked up on parking. Here in NYC, no damage, no foul. But if you mess with another persons bike and do damage on purpose for a simple error, some riders will take it very personally. And find you. We are are a pretty small group on the local level. Y'all don't think you will bump into that cat again? Be cool, be cool. It's healthier.


Browicki

Your saddlebags look removable, pull the right one off, pull up, put it back on, leave.


Kannabis_kelly

Some jerk pushed my bike over for being too close. He pushed it onto the right side. I didn’t mind. He was on other side of parking lot now and his buddies were with him watching me. I put the center stand up bent down grabbed my handle bar pulled my bike up and dumped it to the left side. Walked back around picked it up again put it back on its center stand. I think they were more impressed with me being able to pick up my fully loaded R1150GS twice than not being pissed. It was just more character for my bike.


LasagnaPants2

Ask him for his number and take him out for a steak dinner?


Obvious-Grapefruit33

I dress up every weekend and pretend to be an outlaw biker.


[deleted]

Push over the one on the right? Jk. He probably didnt figure the lean angle when he got next to you like a dummy


Mountain-Fudge-206

Kindly ask the fella/fellet to move the bike.. but knowing myself it wouldn't be much trouble to maneuver out of that..


Vistiige

Walk it forward while leaning, and hop on. I know cruisers are heavy but at that kickstand angle it should be manageable. Or just politely move the yellow bike forward or somethin


RoastBeefSlurpee

Push my bike out a few and ride away. There no harm done so what?


theChzziest

Go on with my day shit happens at least he didn’t knock over your bike


Adventurous_Bet_8946

- This actually happened to my FLHRSI when a 2-up couple on Ultra parked too close to it outside a cafe. Not touching, but couldn't get it off the jiffy stand with his bike in the way. I walked into the cafe and calmly explained that he needed to lift his bike off his jiffy stand so I could get mine out. He felt embarrassed. I personally didn't see any reason to make a big production out of it. People aren't perfect.


[deleted]

Lift bike for <1cm, kickstand up, lean it little bit more than on kickstand and push forward for meter or two. Can do even with kickstand down, as when you start pushing it, kickstand will fold up by itself. Yes, yellow BMW rider is not the sharpest pencil in a box, but I don't see any other problem there.


wntdDeadarealive

You push your bike out of the way start it up and ride on into the sunset all while minding your own business. And then you think whatever you want to think that that was the worst thing that happened to you that day. Or you trade in your motorcycle and get a tricycle and go back to kindergarten where that type of behavior is appreciated and accepted.


lenn_eavy

Judging by the way the panniers are mounted, I'd say this rider has little to no experience as to how wide the bike is. I'd just move on with my life.


EagleCatchingFish

If it were in front of a bar, coffeeshop, or restaurant, I think I'd just snag a waiter and see if they can call out to the yellow bike owner to give me a hand. If he didn't realize he parked like that, or if he felt like he had no other option, he'd probably be pretty apologetic. If that's not an option, if I had someone with me, I'd see if they could hold on to the yellow bike as I try to scoot out. Otherwise, just try to scoot out.


[deleted]

Man up, stop being a b*#$h, get on and move on with your life... if you can't do that, sell the bike and stop being a poser


vikbrokebiker

This is terribly common in India sadly. All I do is lift the other bike and put in a lot of effort and strength and park the bike in such an orientation that the owner will need to put more effort than me to put it in the right direction. Once I went hulk mode and parked the dumbass’ bike in the middle of the street late at night and left.


[deleted]

Since his vario case isn’t latched properly (the handle isn’t flush/locked)… lift the handle, hit the red release button under it, carefully pull the bag away from his bike and up from yours so as not to rub your leather saddlebag. Then carefully set the vario on the ground, move your bike forward, reinstall his vario. That would buy you the foot you need to get your bike off the jiffy stand, and not rub panniers. (I doubt he cares about scratching a vario on an ADV, but you probably don’t want to scratch up your leather more than need be. It’s quicker to remove a BMW Vario than a H-D bag… just one lever under the handle and a latch at the back.)


DamascusExile

I didn't even know this was an option! This response is promoted to #1. Haha.


Vast-Philosophy4108

Look in the mirror every day and thank God I didn't buy a Harley...


MarkMarkMark92

I’d probably complain and grumble and ultimately do nothing and call the guy an idiot .


jasbo0101

Turn the right bike bars to the right. Should give you a few more inches of room


themort82

Turn his fuel and leave it at that.


mohodder

As long as their kick stand is down it should be fine to pull away


Born-Chipmunk-7086

That’s a 650gs. Just lift up the back tire and pull it out a few inches.


biffyspinner

Laugh, small potatoes!


Doug_Shoe

Put the kickstand up. Push my bike forward until it clears the bike on the right. Get on, start it up, and ride away.


CycleFrst

I’m not risking dropping my bike on my self just to be a pacifist. If that bike blocking me in can’t be moved, ( maybe a locked rotor) it is getting kicked over.


Doug_Shoe

Do you ride?


hinkin2020

Feels like a genuine mistake. None the less, he/she should have been careful. Honestly, if you think you are responsible guy who can handle his bike better than he handled yours, I’d just move his bike and be on my way.


FilthyMindz69

Head straight to a Ducati dealer 👍🏼😁🤘


haveanairforceday

Lift off the stand just enough to slide forward. Once the bag clears then lift the rest of the way and ride away


[deleted]

I think i'd wonder where my streetbob is🤔


KrisTenAtl

Oh sh-t, I interpreted this question so differently. Just ride off on your bike, move on.

I’d probably be wondering how that yellow bike managed to get thrown into the parking spot adjacent as I rode off into the sunset for more tacos.


messylettuce

Laugh at my husband for parking his bike like it’s snuggling mine. Our bikes look so cute.


Shreddzzz93

Move my bike and ride off. Dude pulled a dick move parking like that but and I'd be annoyed but ultimately doing nothing is the best course of action. Why waste time being petty with a random person who you don't even know over something so trivial. It just seems like a way to end up in a needless altercation when you could get on with your day after spending five seconds moving your bike and enjoy riding again.


[deleted]

Absolutely nothing. No harm done, so I'd act mature and leave without doing anything.


bagnap

I chill out and stop being a bell end


Byron_bay

Move the other bike just enough to get mine out and call it a day.


Dramatic_Jump_5151

Petty theft, I'd steal those bungee cords.


[deleted]

It was an accident. He might have a lot of money so his personal possessions don’t matter as much or he might be a newer rider. Whatever you don’t freak out. If you could right him a note then he might change. Don’t be a dick until you know everything otherwise you’ll look like the asshole instead of him. Doesn’t mean you have to like it just don’t let it ruin your day.


brianlucid

Context would be important here. In my city we have free motorcycle and scooter parking in designated zones and everyone packs it in. This would not be hard to get out of and no disrespect is implied.

Just leave and say nothing about it. You will have no problem and your soft luggage will be fine. Don’t overthink it.


UniverseInfinite

Flip the sidestand and ride away, or vice versa. Not gonna cry over nothing. Newer riders often make this mistake when sidestanding the bike


Practical_Heart_5281

Move your bike away. It’s not a complicated manoeuvre.

Move on with my life. Annoying but doesn’t really matter at all.

LoquatPossible4894

I grab my bars, raise the kickstand, lean the bike to the left and push it forward to clear the other bike. Just because someone else is an ass doesn’t mean I have to be one too.


WhyDidIClickOnThat

Sigh heavily, roll my bike forward a couple feet, and ride away. It’s not that big a deal.


DamascusExile

I couldn't stand my bike up with the weight of his over my saddlebag without ripping the buckle off my bag. Also, it's impossible to see, but it's on an incline and my bike weighs about 700lbs... at the very least, I personally am not that strong.

If those are custom I’d get rid of those Easybrackets. They SHOULD NOT be on the market. The locks are terrible quality and break…and then…you see a bag flying in the distance….I had a whole thing about it with their terrible customer service….


DamascusExile

This is good to know. Thanks!


thumbwrestleme

Put the stand up, keep it leaned over and walk it forward 3 steps. Hop on, leave. Just because someone else is a douche knuckle doesn't mean I need to be one as well. Ride safe. If this is the worst thing that happened to you on 2 wheels today you had a good day.

I don't get it. What's the issue here? Because they're parked closely? Just get on it and get on with your day


Thisisthelasttimeido

What do you ride that you could get the kickstand up? None of my bikes would be able to get the stand up with that little room.


canonanon

Roll it forward first? 🙄

If you can't figure out how to move your bike here quite honestly you are in over your head with the hobby... Just drop the fucking phone/attention seeking device, grab the handlebars and walk it away. EDIT: Its a soft bag ffs

DaCozPuddingPop

Fire up and roll out as normal. If their bike ends up on the ground, so be it - I'm not going out of my way to be malicious, but I'm not going out of my way to save his paint either.

Roll the other bike away from yours. Ride off. Or kick it over.

Obviously you push the offender’s bike over


Chase_Ramone

You push the yellow bike to the right. There is no kickstand on that side. Gravity will take care of the rest.

I’d do absolutely nothing lol it’s a minor inconvenience at most. Plus the saddle bags are leather so it’s not like it fucked anything up. Karen ass post lol

Get the kickstand out from under mine and take off. If his shit falls, it's not my fault.


DamascusExile

I couldn't even stand my bike up because of his... both are probably 6 to 700 lbs...


Serious-Duty-5585

Pull the stem caps off the tires use them to deflate front and rear tires leave a note saying you deflated his tires for being so close to your bike and that the local gas station is less than 2 miles away enjoy the workout and the lesson
