Your Guide to Parking a Motorcycle

Your motorcycle takes you places and turns heads around wherever you go. That’s why you spend time cleaning and servicing it before each trip. But that’s not enough—as a responsible rider, you will also want to park your bike safely and efficiently before moving away.

Secure Your Bike

The first thing to do is to park your motorcycle in the safest spot. The idea is to keep your bike hidden from onlookers and thieves, so keep searching until you find the most secure location.

The best place to store a motorcycle is an indoor garage or shed, and if that’s not possible, you will want to park it behind a tall fence or between vehicles like cars. If you are leaving your model in a parking lot, try to get the spot where it is in the best view of security cameras.

Observe Basic Parking Etiquette

You will also want to act responsibly and safely when parking your motorcycle. Make sure that you:

• Park in designated parking lots and metered parking areas only
• Avoid leaving your bike by the side of the road or curb
• Avoid parking your model in a place with a “no parking” sign
