I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem - Its always been an issue when going away for the long weekend to one of the weekend homes.

Do I ride or do I take the Cessna leaving the bike at home?

Now - that problems solved - behold a bike 'pod' for your Cessna. I figure if there are enough of us (say 50??) - we could do a group buy?

Nope, This... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorts_Skyvan).

Fitted with Dash 36's it goes like a monkey with Tiger Balm over its ball sack.

Good spotting - pretty sure it's a Vans RV10

Meh, looks like far more hassle than its worth... if you were rich enough to have your own plane then surely you would just have a bike in each place you flew regularly... and for those you dont, arrange some lacky to drop you one off at the airport.

Im kinda curious as to what the story is with the oil - does the bike have to be drained prior to each flight???

it is an RV (check the rego out) but it's not dissimilar to the cessna 400 - was the columbia but they went bust and were bought out by cessna. big write up in this month's wings mag. http://se.cessna.com/cessna400/images/cessna_400_hp_01.jpg (well for the non-spotter they are both low-wing, but you'd think a manufacturer could get it right)
