Key West 2011 SCOOTER PARKING TICKETS?! (& Towing)
#11
Next year, I am just going to take someone else's plate the first day. That scooter will get towed, and I'll park mine every place I want to.
The owner/renter of my target scooter is going to have a really bad day.

Thanks for outing me Brian. I parked in Hogs Breath parking lot not knowing i needed to pay $10 to park. Ate and drank for 2 hours and came out and both me and my friends scooters were gone. Had to jump a cab 10 miles off the island for 50 bucks. Got to the lot and the scooters were still on the flatbed. He originally wanted $210 each cash, but i know the secret hand shake and we got them back for $135 each. Ill tell you about my 2 parking tickets later.

If Hogs Breath was charging for scooter parking thats reason enough for me not to frequent their establishment. Bastards!! What a scam. I'm glad I didn't bring my Harley and I won't again. Never had a problem parking in designated parking in yrs past but, guess things change. It's an Obamanation.
Tank it was nice meeting you at Sloppys. Thanks for keeping an eye on Beth. Bob

We got 5 tickets while we were there! 5!!!
One of them we were standing NEXT to the scooter still and that cow STILL wrote us a ticket. What a hag!
Oh, and Adventure Rentals repo'ed our car one day because they didnt think we were using it. It was in the same parking space two days in a row (used scooters during the day, the car at night with the girls). So they hauled it back and rented it out to someone else! When we went down to get another one, they didnt have any and made us wait for one to show up. Then they gave us one with a dead battery. THEN they gave us one with a flat tire.. Buncha scam artists! What a gig, lease out a car and if you can find it you can tow it back and lease it out again! WTF!

A bum layed on his skateboard to get a look up a friends dress. I caught him & a friend and I decided he needed a good little Texas education on the proper way to conduct ones self. It just so happened he received his education on the lawn of the courthouse. Thats where we caught up to him anyway.

I've never rented them, because I'd NEVER be able to keep up with one through a day or night, much less an entire weekend down there. I have a hard enough time keeping up with my room key.

LAst time i rented one when i returned it at the end of the week the check in guy looked it over and looked at the check out sheet then looked over the scooter again and in a pretty civil manor explained that there may have been new damage according to the marks on the sheet. I looked over the sheet and the scooter and said i did not remember doing any damage but it was certainly not out side realm of possibility, couldnt really argue with the check out sheet but what the heck do what ya gotta do if there is an additional. Check in guy went and got the owner and they both looked it over and i said again i dont remember doing it but couldnt say i didnt, no biggie write up whatever you think a new fender is and lets get it done got a plane to catch. They go in to the desk and looked to discuss it a bit and the check in guy comes back out looks me in the eye and says forget about it dude. I was the first person he has ever had that didnt fly completely off the handle at the thought that they caused some damage.lol true story

I have one rule when I'm in KW....upon arrival, I park it and forget it. My only modes of transport are my own two feet and the occasional cab ride. I like scootering around as much as the next guy, but exactly because of sht like this I've always avoided it down there. Chalk this up to yet another reason NOT to support the local self-serving scooter/wrecker/impound taxation industry.
And don't even get me started on Hog's Breath...They'll never get another dollar from me, but that's a whole 'nother story.

yep, i use to rent them but its way cheaper and easier to just cab it everywhere. Hell half the time i was in no shape to drive at the end of the night and had to get a cab anyway.
