Should have measured twice

Renner · June 17th, 2012, 06:20 PM

So I upgrade from a pre gen to a new gen and thought that the new gen would fit nice and neat where I have to park without a center stand.

I used to use the center stand on the pre gen and it worked perfect, but now with no center stand I am a little worried.

Here is a pic of the closest I can get my bike in my spot right now and the furthest from the drop off and I was a little concerned with the rear tire being that close to the drop off....am I just worrying for no reason or should I seek a different solution on my parking issue?

Thanks!!

Is that spot for your car only? If not, I'd worry someone would hit my bike with the front bumper. If it is, I don't see why it would move otherwise.

Cool scion?

Yah the spot to the left of the bike (Before the silver car) is my spot where I park my SUV...no one else parks there

My bikes rear tire is actually in the middle of my spot as I needed the kickstand to tuck under that concrete brick to make it fit. If you look close you will see the kickstand tucked in

A squeeze but it should be ok. Other option if possible is to park it on the grass and put something stable under the side stand?

Park the bike in front of the SUV next to the block. So what if the SUV's a$$ is sticking out a foot. No one will dare hit it.

Not sure why you don't just park it on the other side of the parking barrier thing infront of your SUV? Or do you have one of those huge ones that barely fits in a normal parking spot to begin with?
