    Used to be some underground toilets on the island to the right in the picture, hence universally known as Bog Island to locals. Later it was a night club... Not sure what it is now.

    I usually park at Bog Island. Try to park so no one can block you in. Some kid parked a scooter in front of me last year (with a chain through his front wheel). Good job I'm a small chap that can pick these things up and move them. ;D

    I don't even know bike parking in Swindon...the amount of parking tickets I've been given, it's unbelievable. Once I went to old town to see my sister @ the bar where she worked, had a coke and got a ticket, so ended up paying £37 for a lousy coke...

    This is going off thread slightly. But How can they give a bike a penalty notice for not buying a ticket. Or am I just being daft (Yes I know here comes the insults) ;D

    If we buy a ticket couple things may happen.
    Wind blows ticket away
    Someone nicks ticket

    I had this on Fistral Beach, Newquay. Ticket machine read motorcycles must display a ticket. I had the same thoughts (being nicked or blowing away) so all I could think about doing was buying a ticket and taking photo's of it on the bike.

    That's what the council suggested when I called to say a ticket on a bike is daft because of the reasons mentioned by Stu.
