No place is ever entirely safe anymore, the scums will stop at nothing to take what they didn't have the will to earn. A bro and I were up in north central Pa. last fall, the motel we stayed at had the lobby doors right off of the check in counter which is SOP. Just off of that was a no parking area. I asked if we could park our bikes there, so they could be seen from the lobby, no problem. Before the night was out, there were about ten bikes parked in the same no parking area. Just don't be afraid to ask. TR
