Around here, if two motorcycles park in one spot, both will get a ticket. Stupid, as more parking is better for businesses. Not to mention it's not the fault of the first biker to park. I think some meters have detectors that will reset the meter if the car leaves, so the next guy gets no free time. Crappy/expensive parking is the sole reason I never shop downtown.
Minnesotastan - If the weight didn't affect mileage, they're doing it wrong. Weight lowers mileage because it flattens the tires, increasing drag (same for bearing drag). They should have used a wind tunnel. But then, I'm sure the manufacturers have done that already.
I've always maintained that all speed bumps do is annoy drivers so they go that much faster on the other side. Not to mention increase road rage and provide a distraction.
Unlikely it was initially voluntary. In early cowboy movies, they filmed horses jumping off cliffs by using a trip wire to make them fall over the edge. A lot were killed or broke legs, which, if you're a horse, is the same thing.
If an average person did this, they'd lock him in a rubber room. If you have a reputation, you get to make money from a gallery. Anyway, it's missing the big Popsicle stick in the bottom.
