And then having to find a spot to park if it was anything like our way.

Also annoys me how the feckin' scooter riders squeeze their bikes into the tightest of spots and don't give a sh*t about the bikes next to it. Part and parcel of commuting in the City I guess, but still annoys the fook out of me.

Ahem, I prefer commuting on my Vespa to the 695, much easier and cheaper, and the Duchess hasn't lost that much resale value either, as the clutch isn't worn. It also makes the weekend rides so much more special. I'm not alone in this either, I know loads of peeps with big bikes who choose to use a scoot for the commute.

Some of those scooters could have initially been parked a bit further from your bike, but some inconsiderate people, bikers and scooterists alike, choose to move scooters to make space, as these bikes are lighter to move. Sometimes, they are even moved outside a bike bay by a very inconsiderate biker, leading to a £100 fine for the scooterist.

This is true, but when the scooter is parked nearly on the seat of my Monster, I will move it and leave them to deal with the parking ticket.... grrrrrrrrr...

Still trying to disguise the scratches on the tank now!!

I've never moved one out of a bay but some people leave so much space around their scoots... That said, those bays are rubbish and I'd never leave the rs in one for long. That's one of the reasons I keep the xt - it's more robust.
