I went to the mall the other day and parked my rented motorcycle in the basement parking garage. I remembered to memorize where I parked so that later it wouldn’t be a frustration to find. After doing our shopping Sarah and I walked up to the spot where I was sure my motorcycle was parked. But, it was not there. I was really confused, but Sarah assured me that was the right spot.
Trying not to panic, we decided to walk slowly up and down the row looking at each motorcycle carefully until we found it. After all, motorcycles don’t just get up and drive off by themselves! After walking up and down twice, I began to get very nervous.
I began to think about trying to describe my missing motorcycle to the parking attendant. All I could really say was that my motorcycle was black, my helmet is black, and the license plate starts with an AB. As I looked around me at the sea of motorcycles I realized that information would not help anyone because just about every one of the motorcycles are black, most helmets are black and as I looked at the license plates they almost all started with an AB. Ahhhhhhh!
I was beginning to lose hope. Just when I began to get the attention of the attendant, I saw Sarah’s helmet, which was white with some purple on it, hanging on my motorcycle. Yeah! It was definitely not where I had parked it. As I looked around I noticed that the attendants were moving and rearranging everyone’s motorcycles to make room for more to squeeze in. So, if anyone has any tips for how to keep track of my motorcycle, I sure would appreciate the advice!
Question: What tips would you give me to help me keep track of my motorcycle? You can leave your comment by clicking here.
Could you put some neon pin stripes on your motorcycle so it doesn’t look like everyone else? I wonder if they make beepers that you could put on the motorcycle and have remote to help you find it.
Mary, good idea! I would like to stand out without standing out too much! Yeah know?
Maybe dress it up a bit eg a flag on a sturdy stick, fringy handle bars, glue color rhinestone to the seat, something like that. Make it one of a kind.
I think I would definitely be unique then! :)
Get a batterie operated boor bell
Yeah, that would work! I think I might turn some heads, but I should be able to find my motorcycle then! :)
Tie a colorful ribbon somewhere on the bike
Hi Sherrie! I think about you all the time. I wore one of the beautiful skirts you gave me just the other day. Yesterday, I wore a pair of earrings you gave me and I received a lot compliments! Thanks for sharing with me. I Hope you and Bob are doing well. Seth drew a picture of our time at the Kite Festival that he thought you might like. I will try to get it in the mail. I like your ribbon idea!
That’s funny: All license plate start with AB. I don’t know if u already know this, but AB is the province/region/city code. AB means your motorcycle registered in Yogyakarta.
Btw, love your channel and your husband Martin (“Riding Java”) on Youtube
Sorry for the poor english
