Parking tickety

Hi All,

To my big surprise, I have found a Penalty Charge Notice attached to my motorbike this morning. I park my motorbike on a street in a residential area, there's no such thing as a designated parking area for motorbikes, so there are only few places (read: lamps, poles) where you can chain your bike. Last night I didn't have much choice, the only one that wasn't covered by a car was the one at the border of Permit Holders Only and Double yellow line. I agree my tires were on the double line side of the border, but I don't think I became an obstruction for other vehicles.
The fine is £60 (£30 if paid within 14 days).
Do you think I have a chance to have this ticket canceled, or I should rather pay it?

Marcin.

    Pics of permit and lines would be helpful. Bays with double ends are sometimes in error so photo's along the bay would possibly be of help.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
