So out on a cold day's ride yesterday I saw only 6 motorcycles all day, all BMW's, which begs the toughness of the Harley rider.
That aside, one fellow cold-be-damned rider happened to be donating blood at the Red Cross at the same time. (paying it forward to the crash I hope never happens) Turns out he was a retired Nashville motorcycle cop. Getting to my subject line; We talked for several minutes and it brought up some questions I have about parking in downtown areas with metered parallel spots.
In the past I have seen bikes tucked perpendicular in between cars and questioned him on the legality.His answer> Illegal but unlikely to be ticketed, unwise because any damage caused by a car would have an out. I then asked about multiple bikes sharing the same spot and if there was a maximum? His answer was a shrug....So I am asking the community for any input?

Metermaid here was pretty adamant about one bike per metered space when a bud and I tried to share a spot. I could see making the argument that the other bike is the sponger, I got there first!

Several years ago we went to Staples center to see a Hockey game.
There were 4 of us on bikes.
The parking guy charged us full price and told us to share the parking space.
We took 4 spots.
He called the cops on us.
We showed the cop our receipt.
We left us alone.
Haven't been back to Staples Center to see a Hockey game since.
