Somewhat off the subject... One of the things I appreciate in my little patch of the world is that the local cops are very tolerant of M/C parking, so long as it doesn't impede traffic, driver vision, or cause problems for pedestrians. In downtown, the space between the first angled parking spot past a cross walk will usually hold 5-7 bikes, and we can get in there w/o getting summonsed. They also tend to ignore multiple bikes in metered spaces (as long as you're not parked overtime - then I don't know who would get the ticket, the one closest to the meter, or everyone).
