Need suggestions for parking - Ducati Monster Forums: Ducati Monster Motorcycle Forum

Does anyone have any suggestions for where I can park my bike?

I'm becoming a bit strapped for cash, and the $208 I'm paying now could go so many better places.

I'm willing to pay the $ for a killer chain and lock, but anyplace anyone can suggest for keeping it?

I'm a bit spoiled having my bike 3 blocks away, but I'm more interested in saving $ than the convenience!

you consider having your bike 3 blocks away being spoiled? Spoiled like a rotten egg! I think it would SUCK to have to do anything other than lift the garage door to get to my bike.

NYC my friend! I just got into a garage a block away and I feel like I've hit the lottery. I realize I haven't after paying the monthly fee... $240 :-X

Garage door?! I roll over in bed and I'm spooning my bike [cheeky]
Do you even live in NY?

Tommy there is the brooklyn garage, but that might be a trek for you.

A) mass transit
B) where would u ideally park if u could park anywhere? If ur paying for a place so far u need to use mass transit then just stick with mass transit.

C) remove your tags and hide your headtube vin if your going to chain your bike and cover it.

D) rat bike!

You guys have any suggestions on how to temporarily hide the VIN # for parking?

I live at 149th & St. Nicholas. There's a 24 hr garage who charges $95, less with a residency permit. That's 2 blocks away from the 145th St. Subway stop on the A,B,C,D trains. It takes me 20 minutes MAX to get to penn station, door to door, including waiting for the train. There is one problem though. People seem to think Harlem is leper colony. PM me if you want I should get the info.
