I've never paid for parking on a motorcycle in over 30 years of riding

You need to make notes of ever minute you spend on this & any & all costs involved. Expect the court hearing to be very far away ! Like Tyne & wear if you are south of the Midlands, that is of course if they tell you at all. When you get to court, you are going to need a reasonable breakdown of your time & costs, assuming you win of course. I hope you are successful & counter sue them for poor practices.

Reckon your carbs need balancing, didn't pick up smoothly when you revved it. Nice bike though.

Just curious as I've never owned a bike Where on a bike are they expecting to display the ticket

Record the phone calls

Look up groups like Soveregin Empowerment & Peacekeepers, they are fighting things like this daily using case law, they have channels on here. Saying there is no where to stick it or it blew off in the wind might work in one court but may not elsewhere, showing evidence that there are precidence for it is another.

I have had mates who have had similar, and most if not all opted to go to court, but it was dropped before it got that far, it costs the firm a fortune in court costs in a case they most likely will lose the fact is you can prove you had a valid ticket. In my opinion best thing to do initially is attach the ticket to the bike and take photos, and if the ticket get stolen that's their problem not yours.

I will be there in 2 weeks, also on a Bonnie T120. Looking forward to it!

Hey boys! Hope all is well! I spent the last year hesitating about cb1100rs. What are your thoughts on the bike after having it for a while? Would you choose it to commute to work? Would you choose it to race to a cafe? Would you choose it to go on a longer trip?

had loads of them bus lane council parking tickets private parking tickets never paid a one had the odd bailiff tell them to do one .dont even respond to them ,

The whole parking fines industry is a con. Councils pay cowboy firms to "run" the parking and these companies hide behind small print to fleece vehicle users. Funny how there weren't these kinds of problems when parking was controlled by the police and /or actual council employees.

Go to Court just make sure you know where and when you will be fine.....

The blackbelt barrister had an issue with a parking ticket in his car than had fallen off the dash ,and he took pictures of it where it landed etc and he won ,,He is on you tube ,may be worth having a look at them ,i think it was over a few videos as he updated as something happened ,and i think he explained how he worded his appeal

I had the same thing in Kidderminster. Went to court and explained that I couldn’t put a ticket on the bike due to potential theft. Absolute discharge, costs paid by prosecution.

No brainer - go to court. They probably won’t even show up.

Where can you securely put a ticket on a motorbike very bizarre go to court I say that and then they might have to drop it ❤

Go to court fella. Make sure you sue them for the grief. Make THEM pay you. Good luck.👍

I do feel for you- the rules are you have to display a ticket though so why would you go to all the trouble of writing a note and mounting that to the bike when surely it would be better to mount the ticket instead? I had a plastic pouch for a parking permits and tickets for my bike when I was couriering documents back and forth to London many moons ago.

That’s an expensive price to pay to park a motorcycle so I’m guessing you paid the same as a car. Even in expensive places like London you can usually find free motorcycle parking. It’s a shame they’re so greedy that they want to pursue you even though you already paid for parking. I hope you don’t pay, and if they do go down the CCJ route you fight them at court. Good luck!

Just go to Court and explain what happened. The key thing is no one, not even a lawyer, can predict if you will be successful in getting the case kicked out - BUT - you are in with a good chance as long as you remain calm and go down the ‘reasonableness’ angle - you did pay, had a receipt and provided it in evidence. I think your belief you have some sort of grievance with the hotel is unfair and you are being unreasonable in thinking so.

If you go to court, cut that washing label off your hat, or better, don't wear it at all.

My sympathy. I had a very similar experience at a very local pub - 'Parking for Customers only'. I experience everything that you have. I however pestered everybody in the chain that controlled that parking space. I wrote to the gangsters that run these fine collection scams ridiculing the company on the address so the everybody from the postman to the people that handled the mail realised that I wasn't going to leave this alone. In the end I didn't pay the 'fine' - and I am still awaiting an apology from a Brewery called Holt's of Manchester. My son in Law experienced a very similar problem in Glasgow at a local Supermarket and followed my example. all fines were dropped. You are not in Court - you have been threatened with it. Go for it, be firm . You have lots of rights and these collection agencies have a code that they are supposed to work to.If you are in the right then you will win. These collection agencies are run by gutless scrounging ,gangsters, that is get rich quick louts / merchants that haven't a days worth of work in them.. Look them up, find out who they are , where they operate out of. who is in charge, how their employees find and rate them. It's all out there.

You have to display the ticket you have paid for parking. They won't go hunting around in the reception of the hotel so you were in default of the parking regulations. You should have stuck the ticket onto the bike and risked it getting ripped off. I even leave my disability badge on the screen of my bike with the time clock next to it when I park my bike and it's always been there when I get back.

Appeal to the parking ombudsman, local council won’t care. The parking firm do this all the time, you’ll end up with a CCJ if you’re not careful. You may not even get a notification of a court date, act now.

Write a really stern letter to the local / county council explaining the situation, attach copy of tickey & note, berate them to drivng away tourists etc. Send copies to your MP, their local MP and Minister of Tourism. They all need to put pressure on the land owner and the !parking company". Good luck & best wishes.

Cameras on car parks are catching bikers all over the place. These companies that run these scams should be dissolved

A colleague got a fixed penalty for “failure to display”. We discussed and asked for the photo evidence. They moaned this was wasting their time but provided. We knew what this would show, as the ticket fell off the windscreen and landed on the steering wheel and slightly curled. The appeal was the warden could see the details from the side mirror had he chose to look. They replied the appeal was accepted “on this occasion” which sounded childish.

Court please Then do them for stressing you out

That would be contravention code 83. It isn't that you didn't pay, the contravention is that it was not clearly displayed. I would have appealed and asked where they would like the ticket displayed, given that it would have been easy for someone to nick it, in which case you'd be back to square one. No CEO would go to the hotel to check as notes are normally ignored. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have accepted your appeal and ripped it up - unless they were just being greedy.

Go to court, doubt they will go through with it, intimidation is all this is

Thats an annoying situation and unfair. You can't leave a ticket on a motorcycle it will either blow away in the wind or get pinched. Try looking up the n.i.c.e parking regulations. They govern the way these company's conduct themselves and will decide if the company behaved reasonably or not. If they find in your favour the parking fine will be squashed without the need to attend court. If it really gets that far take the n.i.c.e decision to court as further evidence. Well done for standing up to them mate. Keep it up.

Sue them for what they are wanting from you times 18 months and see what they say

Easy take your number plate off

The problem is you didnt display your ticket. This is what they are fining you for. 100% of parking signs say you must display your ticket. This is a big problem with bikes, there is no safe place to put it. I had the same thing happen to me. Bought a ticket, took a picture of the parking ticket. 2 weeks later fine in the post. Took legal advice and was told i broke the T&C of the parking rules of the council. In court the magistrate got the fine knocked down to the original fee of £60. From then i will not park where MC has to pay. Cornwall is the worst for parking fines, they even ticket Blue badge holders.

CBF1000 nice bike, what year? Is this same engine on Fireblade? By the way you have loads of supporting evidence present it clearly and you should have no issues.

Did you get in touch with the parking ombudsman? If not, why not? He, more than likely, found in your favour.

Under the Bill of rights...all fines are illegal...fraud...a criminal offence...only a court can fine you....not councils...not the police.

I agree with what people are saying. They’re just trying to invoice you, don’t pay. One query though. I was in Looe last September (2023) on my first bike tour. There was a car park in the centre with free motorcycle parking. Couldn’t you have used that?

Heres some advice. Ignore EVEYTHING they send, post or message. The world will not end, you have behaved appropriately and they will desist. Get on with your life and enjoy it. From someone who knows from experience.

my mate had a fine in his own town 6 years ago and never paid it to this day never idmit to and he just throws the letters away and deletes all phone calls and messages and e mails end off and he never paid a penny to them

Just Ignore them, they will not take you to court because it's up to them to prove you are in the wrong, and clearly you are innocent. The letters are always threatening with bailiffs, debt collectors etc. The parking "fine" is an invoice, there is no debt owed unless a judge orders it.

WRITE everything down in chronological order (including unanswered calls), make a note that the company acknowledged your evidence of original payment, phone evidence (itemised billing), photos. You need the documentary evidence as the Magistrate will read it. And remember, they have to prove they sent the email. Similar situation with my daughter, she said "see you in court", they bottled it and dropped the case before the date. Your only mistake was assuming the Parking warden would spend 29 more seconds thinking, than he is usually accustomed to doing.

I would say go to court. But seek legal advice first just in case.

Please let us know how you go on.....good luck with it all.

Go to court. Just be careful they don’t manage to take proceedings without your knowledge. Ask them for confirmation of the date, location and time. I suspect they will drop it as you have a pretty strong case. My guess is they ramp up the pressure hoping you will pay.

Go to court. you have the documentary photo evidence from the day. Presumably you will be able to show the court that you contacted the company (via email which is traceable?) as soon as you were aware of the unjust request for payment of a fine for an offence that wasn't actually committed. I think then that there will also be a burden of proof from the parking company to show the claimed appeal process that didn't happen, which obviously they won't be able to produce and let the court decide who's telling the truth!. To my mind you made every effort to prove there was no offence. For what it's worth, I wouldn't pay the effing fine either, they can't be permitted to bully people with the intention of extorting money from them. Good luck.

I would go to court, i cannot see anyone siding with a bully firm that buys peoples debt etc off councils. oh n if i lost i would definitely do damage to either the parking firms property ie car. tbh I dont even think they will apply to the courts and if they do, i just cannot see them winning.

That looks amazing. I would love to stay on a yacht. Must look into that.
