Leaving a bike parked at the Airport

[ManDownUnder]

Left my bike in the covered parking for 4 days a couple of times - no worries, I'd do it again too.

Free parking (just ride around the outside of the barrier arm - one of them is spectacularly short which makes me wonder if someone trimmed it for exactly that reason.

Free parking man...!

Never had any problems leaving mine there. Whilest I have access to the staff craprak it's too bloody far to walk! So on the days when I take the bike I just sweep round the barrier and park in the above mentioned corner... course it's never there for more than 10 hours. Long term I couldn't say...

Have had a chat to the manager in there before, they don't mind us riding around the barriers (read not paying) so long as we don't actually take a carpark space.
Its patrolled, videoed 24/7 and a couple of the lads are motor sickle enthusiasts.

Excellent!

That's good to know.

Good advice, thanks for taking the time out to answer.

I do the airport thing very regularly, it's awfully tough to convince a girlfriend to get out of bed at 5 am for a 7.30 flight somewhere on a regular basis...

As for the plural of bikes being a "bin" - surely you jest?

Thanks also for the advice about the parking, and not paying. At $25 plus per day, it gets expensive very quickly...

I've always taken that for a given at the airport when on a bike or in a 4WD.
