That must have been before I came out and found not 1 but 2 parking tickets on my seat! :( I got a 'parking ticket' for not having a plate on the bike. The guys sitting at the tables in front did say it was funny watching the meter maid look all over for my plate. |

So what if you have a new bike and no plate? You still get a ticket when parked?? | |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jul 2006 From: Salmon Creek I Ride: K5 1000 | No clue, but I wondered the same thing. The lady did write down my VIN though. Guess I'll have to pay up or it could be a real pain if I get pulled over in the future and they run the registration. |

Thanks for keeping it classy. |

My dad leaves his KEY in his bike at times! I think that's going a little too far in the trust zone but the fact that his bike has never been stolen adds to my argument about the nature of those who ride motorcycles... |

| Endorsed Joined: May 2011 From: Portland, OR I Ride: zx-6rr | The area of p town I saw it in made me cringe at the thought of some jackass thinkin it would be funny to run off with a mans helmet...there are some strange ones around here...I left mine on my mirror at school the other day and when I came out from class it was sitting on my tank...made me wonder what happened and really happy it was my older scorpion and not my new Bell Star Carbon...I like to think us riders have each others backs and that maybe the guy that left his helmets will read this and remember that we get lucky sometimes but there is a lot of scum that would steal something they'll never use just to be a dick... |

Apparently a female rider because the white helmet had purple pom pom pigtails coming out of it and the rider was dressed as though she was attending an 80s gymnastics competition or something! |
