Default Parking Pad

Hello everyone... hope I chose the right forum, felt this one fit my needs best out of all categories .

ReEntering the Motorcycle world and just bought an 08 Harley NRS. I am very excited but must resolve one problem- parking. We live in a small older community considered to be a part of Baltimore, but is Northeast of it. Point- we have street parking. However, since it is an old community and set in, we all park on the sidewalks because of narrowed streets. Our community association is very active with the city and as long as we all park with flow of traffic, the city will not ticket us.

I am not comfortable parking my new bike on the sidewalk for fear of pedestrians or kids. I have a perfect corner nitch near my house and just off my lead walk where I want to put a parking pad. I do not want this to be permanant because we are selling and buying in a year or two.

I have seen heavy duty pads that churches and small businesses have used in challenged zoning areas for new parking that lay over the grass but are crisscrossed so as to allow the grass to grow through maintaining the appearance and although interlocking, they are not permanant. Has anyone seen such a thing and know where you can get them?

I have searched google with unlimited terms and have not come close to what I am looking for. I can do pavers, but when we go to move, would rather lift the pad and reseed depressed areas rather than removing sand and etc.

Any thoughts, direction or links would greatly be appreciated!!!

Thanks ALL!
