In the various places we go, coffee shops, bank, grocery store, we all have that one spot that we know is always available to us because we are on a scooter. Let's see yours
I call it, "The Vespa Spot" .

We have a spot here at work that is between the last parking spot and a concrete barrier that is just big enough to handle my scooter and my 3rd shift tech's at the same time. It's also the front-most parking space in the lot.

Yay, scooters!

Looking at my phone I don't see any recent pics, but this was my P200E parked there.

Next time I ride in I'll snap a pic of the spot so you get a better idea.

Outside Project Barley Square - Torrance, CA. They serve cask pulls as well as California IPAs. Darts, pinball, and a fireplace. Lots to like.

At my local grocery store
Near the cart return. An otherwise unused space. I've seen another Vespa here before and I parked right next to it so they could commiserate.

When I stop at Trader Joe's after work I park next to Walgreens next door. TJ's always has the WORST parking situation so I'm pleased to have this alternative.

I guess this is the tradeoff for skating past the parking competition. I get to navigate rando snakes.

So, that tiny super-cool parking spot I have at work that's just big enough for my scooter? Today I see this :

Having probably the smallest automobile in our parking lot at work, I realized yesterday the little space I have used for my scooter will also accommodate ... my car!

It's short enough that even in the reduced space it does not extend any further into the parking lot than the other cars.
