NYC commuters?

[Kevin K]

I am rarely in the city. But when I do drive there it's a whole new world and am very apprehensive. Im sure I could get used to it just like I got used to the first turn in motocross. But in motocross I at least know the direction everyone is trying to go.

Hey all, my company is moving offices at the end of April to Broadway and 38th Street. Is there any alternate side parking in the area, where I can park all day, or if not, are there any garages in the area that are moto friendly?

Dont know if this was posted earlier or some other thread but it cant hurt to repost

I just signed the petition "NY State Senate: Legalize Lane Splitting in New York State" on Change.org.

It's important. Will you sign it too? Here's the link:

Yes you can, but it isn't allowed. At the Storage Deluxe in Coney Island 5 years ago I would ride my vstrom up near the gate and turn the engine off. Every other weekend for 5 months I walked it around back to the loading dock, into the elevator, and into a small unit. Got a dirty look or two, but if the bike doesn't leak it should be OK. It's the best way to store a bike in the winter for people without garages. 5 years later, the Vstrom just stays outside

So...I work at 40th and Broadway and today I saw some motorcycles parked right on the red pavement thats now a pedestrian area. Albeit they were on the edge of it (on the traffic side), I'm going to keep an eye on this because there were about 4 bikes there (one was a yellow GS, actually).

Is this legal? Does it just depend on who is enforcing that day? It seems too good to be true...it's 50 feet from my office door.

Sorry if my explanation wasn't clear, google street view isn't updated. Heading downtown on Broadway, there is almost a shoulder on the left side of traffic where cars have parked, and the bikes have squeezed in there.

[The Jerk]

Oh of course it's not legal. But the question is more whether the traffic agents in that precinct enforce it.

I know I'm gonna hear crap for this but I'm a big proponent of using a platepuller. Knock on wood, it's served me well for over 2 years now.


Also I don't know how many of you know this but I saw this today on hamilton ave right next to the Brooklyn Lowes



When i lived in CA I went into one. All of my other buys have been on line. I've had pretty good experiences with them so I'm excited that they're coming here.

Harbor freight is 100% Chinese shit, but sometimes you just need something, regardless.

I think their tools are made from recycled Yugo fenders.

Maybe this pic will help. There ARE cars parked in front of the bike. Although I did notice no plate on the bike.

i work on 7th, 38/39. i parked there for a while, and i pulled my plate. then my bike got towed. it cost me less than $500 and about 4 hours of my work day. so i don't park there any more. i think one tire might have been touching the white line; maybe that's why they picked my bike out of the 4 that were parked there. regardless i don't feel like risking it again to find out.

you'll notice that the vehicles parked there (mostly) have commercial plates, which is what those spots are designated for.

Schwartz, where do you park your bike now? My office is moving to Broadway and 38th in 2 months.

Depending on how much you like to walk parking at the Hippodrome is awesome. 43rd and close to 6th.
