Parking behind the "first" driver appears to be more lucrative.

I'm really getting tired of getting nailed in the parking lot. Suggestions?  

I'll assume you want to keep some good Karma for yourself, so.....I often park in safety zones in parking lots, the painted off sections where its too small for a car to park at the end of the row.  I have also been known to jump up onto islands to park, and behind any type of barrier I can find.  I park in any spot I can find other than next to handicap spots and in car spots.  Never park in car spots.  Nobody has ever objected yet, and I've done it right in front of cops.  A lot of these spots can be find right next to the front door of the store too.  If this doesn't work, then maybe you could carry some spike strips or caltrops and place these strategically around your bike when you park to ensure that after they knock down your bike, they will have to change a tire or two before they flee the scene.  Good luck!   Jeff

I just had a thought, have you tried riding with a passenger to see what their perspective is on the knocking sound? Rob

No offense taken. But let me assure all of you that I have gone over and over all things chain and sprocket related. I have gotten a ruler out and set the slack to exactly 2.2 inches. I also made it tighter just to see if that affected anything, which it did not. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Dahlheimer, MD [mailto:Peter_Dahlheimer@...] Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2000 6:03 AM To: KLR650 List Subject: RE: [DSN_klr650] Help? Knocking sound. no offense intended, but have you checked to be sure your chain isn't too tight? a little loose is better than a little tight (chains, folks). _pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who invented Gatorade -- and what part did it play in winning the1967 Orange Bowl?
