After witnessing the parking traits and habits of the Goldwing GL1800 (Goldum Wingus) in mixed conditions, I think I have figured it out.
The lack of lines really throws people off.
If he is is the first one there, he will park like the above diagram, perfectly straddling two spots.
If he is not the first one there, and is presented with two spaces next to each other with meters on both sides, (for example: spaces 6&7) he will park like the above diagram.
If he is not the first one there, and is presented with two spaces with a meter in the center, (ie: spaces 7&8) he gets it right.
If he is presented with only a single spot, he gets it right.
Because of these observed behaviors of Goldum Wingus, I have come to the conclusion that he just can’t visualize these spots when presented with just the open curb and meters.
I hope this note helps.
As with all other Trike Parking * episodes, I wish I could run into him so I could clue him in in person, I don’t know where he works or what times he leaves every day.
*I realize that’s not a trike, but that’s the tag I started using.
April 19 update: He got the note today.

this feels somewhat like urinal selection etiquette
some people are just bad at it, and will piss on your shoes.

Except in this case, when presented a wall of urinals without partitions, he would piss on the wall between two of them.

Not surprised since most bikes I cross are riding the yellow center line.
