Modern Vespa

My office happens to have a convenient back laneway, with bollards spaced at precisely the distance required to park a scooter. There is no parking signs, and also rather good camera coverage from a neighbouring building. Quite delightful really, especially as those with cars have to fight for a space, then go and move them every 2 hours to avoid fines!

So where do you park??

Can't quite see that actual spot as I took this shot a little bit away from the tower but I usually park right next to the base of the tower.

I park my GTS in my office

I work at home, so it stays in my driveway!

Right in front of my office.

A few steps from the back door.

I love the colour of your scoot Irish Tim! Really nice.

Right in front of my office entrance.

I would love to show where I park at work, but it is in one of the few hidden places in Westminster where bikes do not have to pay for parking. Suffice it to say that it's one fine spot, and I have never ever had to worry about not finding a space. A true gem of a find. I am guarding the location with my life. I'm open to bribes though.

Parking by the office in midtown New York. Most scoots covered to avoid tickets. It's funny but cops are not allowed to touch it to look for a license plate. But that's the only way since there is no place to keep a parking mini-meter receipts on a scoot.

I'm the only scooterist where I work (at a church), but on Sunday Mornings there are lots of us here. This is where I park, right next to the covered back entry.

I have a great parking for my scoot at work.

Ditto. I don't have a pic (yet) but at the church where I minister there is a great covered area by our administrative entrance.

Can't, I'm on two weeks holiday

Thank you!

We have 2 offices on opposite sides of the street. The other building has the reserved bike and MC parking. My building has no reserved section so I have to get in early (but that is ok because it allows for a long slow ride home).

Photo below is also a self portrait.

Best parking location ever.

here's where i park - right next to the entrance/reception, on a wide section of pavement (sidewalk) with no cars or other bikes anywhere near me



here, however, is the very welcoming speed-hump-and-toothy-thing that i have to get past to get to the parking spot. there are four of these on the way into work, and another four on the way out. you'd think i work at MI6 or a munitions factory or something but no, i work at a university. I'm not sure why they feel this level of traffic control is necessary. note that the damn speed humps go all the way to the kerb so there is no going around them

Right next to my Crime Scene Unit.

I ride in from the loading dock/cargo door, park right outside of my window!





Now and then I've rolled it into the office, http://www.flickr.com/photos/feb31st/archives/date-posted/2009/06/30/

I have noticed a hairdresser on Oxford St (just up the hill from my office) who parks his black GTS in his shop window. Only a Vespa is beautiful enough to park in the office, let alone the window! I'll have to get a photo of this 2moro...

Yeah but your scooter isn't in the shot.

Not many cars in our parking lot which means I can pick and choose the space I want, but unfortunately on the ground floor we have a Comcast office so there is a lot of in-and-out traffic with people coming in to pay their cable bills and return cable TV equipment, etc.

Luckily, the building maintenance guy gets in first and always leaves a space empty by him at the end so I can park next to him and not worry about having 'visitors' park too close to me. What a kind man!

OK here is my parking spot at work.

What is this? Iit looks kind of home made (no offense if its yours ) Is that graffiti on the leg shield?

Silly question, but is that a lock on the front disc brake?

I was thinking the same thing, also it looks like it has no front wheel.

Pardon me but I am drooling over the M6 Vert.

Nice car huh? That guy gets a new car every few years, all of which are rather nice.

I have a pretty good spot. It's covered and that door to the left is the Security office.

It looks like a Honda Elite to me.



The Honda elite isn't as ugly as it seems at first...At least that's my opinion. Though, I like the older version with the headlight built into the legshield better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceYcOZPTuBI

yup. it's a tiny little Oxford disc lock - very simple to put on and take off. i stopped worrying about giant chains etc. etc. etc. when i got the GT - the immobilizer will put off most villains, and this little lock is sooooo much easier to carry around

Just outside the office door, conveniently close to the bar below office

Have one similar, but with built in alarm. It was about EUR45 from Piaggio.

My nice out of the way spot,
I work in a warehouse, my scoot spends the day tucked out of the weather between the outside bulk racking and the warehouse wall undercover and out of the sun.

There is usually another guy with a trail bike, he drove his car today, so good day for a photo.

I park on the 3rd floor of the parking garage at work. This is one of the only level spots in the place except at the very top so they let me park next to the bike lockers. There is also a LX150 that also parks here but wasn't here yesterday when I snapped the photo. The nice part about the building is to get to this spot you have to badge through two gates and go by a guard shack so my scoot is ultra safe here.

I just tried to go out and take a picture and security came out before I could get away and made me delete the pictures. Damn they are fast, was sure I could get away with it.

Oh, well, my scooter is very secure in the parking lot at work
