Using bike cover at multi storey carpark

[Allen]

I see my carpark almost 50% people are using, is it no need to pay carpark fee? They use rafia string, clipper tie until very tight.

 

Got GSXR400 always got around 10++ summon after that i saw him put bike cover never kena already.

 

Then his bike park there 3 month never move..

[C.S]

17 dollars per month (MSCP fees)

vs

10 minutes every time u move out or come back to the carpark

 

u decide...........

 

(sometimes no need to tie also, cos the bigger catch that are worth more are the cars on level 5)

[shunoski]

Doesn't means in MSCP, your vehicle won't be dirty from the carbons spewing from exhausts.

[icywaffles]

lol just pay if not u worried kana summon anot everyday

[pyro13]

Jus pay 17 buxz So cheap already. 17 bux not even enuf to make one withdrawal.

[RageMyDream]

My intention is to deter ppl from disturbing my bike

Duno y ppl have itchy hands

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

No, covered motorcycles are not immune to summons.

 

It all depends on how vigilant the inspectors are.

 

And yes, no one likes itchy hands on bikes. However there are exceptions where there are nice cosy corners in older housing estates where everyone respects each other (usually the more empty carparks) and it's safe to show off your customised parts

 

Still, better safe than sorry. Cover ftw.

[pyro13]

Yeap, but these itchy hands werk fast! And u nd to call the police at times so they will step up patrol in ir vicinity. I have called twice so far abt pple goin near bikes and all. Patrols increased a lot.

[StoopStool]

Lol.

 

I was "Immune" for 5 months.

Then kena slap with $25 fine, for not parking in proper lot.

 

Then I decided to keep my "profits" and start paying $17 a month.

Din lock my cover whatsoever, just used clippers.

do you think this "tactic" will work in public carparks? like in wheelock or sth.

Sometimes i tried la. Opposite Cineleisure etc.

So far so good la, maybe i just heng.

 

My theory is, the saman fellow also human leh, under hot sun, will you slowly go and untie the cover check, and retie?

[wait4me]

yes it will work ,

then after that the authorities will implement ERP parking or restrict bikes

[Icomeforyou]

Once i parked at woodlands stadium, put bike cover, next day come back, found love letter. The warden just take and throw the bike cover to see the front plate, never cover back properly.

 

$8 for parking without valid coupon, so paid $15 every month.

 

Been doing it for 3 years now.. Really $15 is worth it..

[triumsg]

I pay for parking at my MSCP but i cover my bike too. The officers are active. I notice them removing the front or rear portion of the cover to double check. So, covering your bike will not help.

[allenkey]

never underestimate the carpark enforcement

[kinwei]

never underestimate the carpark enforcement

 

Also never underestimate lazy carpark enforcement. lol.

 

Anyway I've been covering my bike with a simple carabina hook on the D-rings to secure it. Primary purpose is to prevent theft and rain which will splash in from the outside.

 

For mscp, the season parking is S$17. The most I got per month is 2 tix which amounts up to $16. Still save $1. And it only happen the most 4~6 times a yr. So go figure. Since I still will cover my bike, so why not take the chance. If I got the summon, then I just pay online, no biggie.

Some of the MSCP are using gantry system. No chance of escaping

Die die must pay now.

[Allen]

Cause when i approach 1 uncle, who always cover i ask them politely did you buy parking.

 

The uncle tell me honestly no. He say he have been doing for 6 months, nothing happen he still ask me if i not lazy just follow him.

lol.find ways to squeeze thru in. e.g thru pavemets etc

[xincentsbobby]

i pay $15 bucks every month hoping for a safe carpark only to realize my bike been knocked over by some idiot and I can only do nothing ..

[Ken_6565]

Try and u will know the ans....

[seller13]

most of the time it seem they juz ignore when u cover.

hassle for them to open to check too.

 

or they also wan to prevent their bike from being prone to be targeted

[Bodyslam]

I'd rather pay $17 and save the hassle

[altya]

sometimes its not to avoid the fine but to prevent idiots with itchy hand....

 

Once a while i will always see some people, kids or watever circling around other people's bike and touching them....

 

I always tot its maybe they are curious or envying the bike but ever since my bike get scratch for nth, i also decided to cover up even in mscp.....

Got to agree with this tho. Some itchy hands removed the emblem from my Vespa.
