Ya. And they're probably in that store checking out antiques and collectables. I don't know which is worse.
They were in a nearby restaurant. Couple in their 50's I think. Lady was on the Ninja 500. She seemed new.Ya. And they're probably in that store checking out antiques and collectables. I don't know which is worse.
Toronto regulations require motorcycles to be parked at an angle between 45 and 60 degrees from the curb. The scooter on the right and the green bike on the left are in violation.

TORONTO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 950, TRAFFIC AND PARKING
ARTICLE IV
Parking, Stopping, Standing
§ 950-400. General stopping and parking regulations.
(2)(b) Exemptions for motorcycles.
Despite the provisions of Subsections (1) and (3), a motorcycle may be parked at an angle, provided that no person shall park a motorcycle at an angle less than 45 degrees or greater than 60 degrees to the curb.
Every bike parked at my work (Atrium/Edwards St.) is parked illegally then LOL
thats correct, but when they are in a row they dont ticket it. It would be stupid. Its to ticket when someone squeeezes their scooter between two cars not giving the cars ample room to maneuver out .

BTW, I thought you could actually legally parallel park a motorcycle ( ie. 0 degrees) but i guess you cant . Looks like between 45 and 60 degrees. lol
I don't follow. The issue is distance from the car, no? If there is 4 feet between cars and I park at 50 degrees you have the same problem.
If you park at an angle the car behind has just enough room to swing out....hopefully. At 90 it might clip your front end. The car in front...well hopefully they left room in front to get out.
What an utterly nonsensical law. Imagine, people spent time considering some imaginary problem, soliciting input from experts and stakeholders, running it through legal, and getting it passed by council.
Most bikes park at an angle where I park downtown.
how many motorcycles can legally park in a spot? I thought it was one "vehicle" ...
walk down any Toronto street and show me a bike parked at a 45 degree? when I walk my 10 min walk from the subway (when I don't ride) I encounter about 5 roads with bikes all parked perpendicular. easily about 50 bikes. not a single one is 45. say what you want about it but that's how everyone parks. do it any other way and you are the one doing it wrong.The prolem is, that you then get people like Benny! Who feel that you're parking wrong, so they then mess things up almost as bad as someone parking parallel.
Sorry, but my bike doesn't fit perpendicular to the curb. If we all had short bikes that might work.
