Parking Story Example - Etienne

This is another example, in my book, about the lack of motorcycle/scooter friendly parking in Dallas.

I had to go to the Dallas Presbyterian Hospital. At the time I was riding a Kymco Peopls S 250 scooter. I roll up to the gate in the pay parking lot. Big sign says no motorcycle parking allowed. So I park near the entrance to the office building where I was going. I go upstairs to the doctor office and ask about the parking near the entrance and they said it was not a good idea. But I said the parking lot as sign saying no motorcycles? In the end I moved it into the parking lot. When I go to leave, I pre-pay by walking up to the gate, and the attendant said “If you pre-pay, how I can let you out past the gate? I said it does not matter as I can ride past the gate!!!!”

Does this mean in the future if I go there I should just park in the parking lot and not take a ticket and hope I do not get towed?
