Defense from the crowds damaging my panels
so there's a LOT of scooters on my campus. and they all park in the same little spot.....
and my poor little purple elite smushed in there
It usually gets more crowded than this. Any ideas for how to protect my scooter, besides putting a cover over it?

Top 5 Methods of Scooter Deterrence
Greetings:
Sheesh, that's a tight parking job. Try that in a Harley bar parking lot and find someone's hacked off your sidestand when you return to your bike.
Not to worry, Wheelman's Top 5 Scooter Proximity Deterrents:
5. Install loud stereo and play a loop tape of Barry Manilow's Copacabana (WAIT!! That may backfire with a Scooter crowd... )
4. Carry movie theater velvet rope holders, substituting BioHazard or Police Line - Do Not Cross tape.
3. Surround bike with plastic vomit.
2. Chain an agressive pit bull to the floorboards.
1. Paint side covers with Police Mobile Narcotics Unit logo.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

I'm hoping one day you write a book - maybe a modern/humorous version of 'The Zen of Skoot Maintenance.' Be big seller, IMO.

Maybe you could get together with some of the other scooter and motorcycle riders and go to the school and ask for (or demand) more parking. I am sure out of all of those riders you will find a lot of them that would like a little elbow room. I would think any campus would encourage you to ride scooters, saving gas and all, they should really make it more accommodating!
No matter what you ride or drive to school you should be able to park with out the fear of getting your ride damaged, that is just ridiculous IMO

Yes Wheelman it has other uses.
Thought bouble tape for front, (bra)
and buttle wrap for sides. (skirts)
Buttle wrap also seen on red carpet,
by like J Lo.
Amazed this pile up is intentional, looks like
a north-eastern winter interstate pile up with
out ice! how does this happen just pull up and
scrap your way in or heave ho?
I just tried to be funny.
