Motorcycle Parking

[ElioTony]

I was out shopping today and walked out to my car. I happen to notice a Can Am Spyder parked in the motorcycle parking spot. Nothing wrong with that, but it made me think that one of the benefits of the Elio being classified as a motorcycle would allow upfront parking in most lots in one of the motorcyle slots....hope this was not already a dead horse beaten but I thought it would be a cool thought to share. Thoughts??

The Elio is as long as a regular car.
I think it is probably doomed to be parked in only regular car spaces.

I also have seen postings here stating that the span between the front wheels is nearly the same as the average car?

TRIVIA: Does anyone know what the distance between the front wheels of the automobile is based on?

My thought on parking is if you can walk, without disability, park as far away from those front spaces as you can and walk, jog, or run while still possible.

I agree completely. I wish I could park far out like I used to. I used to park as far from the door as possible in a place where there were no other cars. Safe, right? Wrong! I would come out and my lone car would be surrounded with other cars with a lot of empty space around them. Go figure! LOL :-) Z

Cars? Who knows. Railroads though we're designed to the width of a team of horses.

DING DING DING!

The wheels of the carts that preceded autos had to be wide enough to fit a horse's rear end 'tween! The wheels of the auto were designed to fit into the same lanes that the carts ran in!

...less door dings and dents this way.

Problem is that there are more "HORSE'S REAR ENDS" on the roads today!
