Anyone left their bike at the airport for any extended period?

Just having to fly out early and not owning a car the bike is the only way I get to the airport.

exeter airport ? Why not taxi it ?


Can't say i have ever left mine there so don't know what security is like

Bristol Airport and it's a hell of a lot cheaper to ride and park than to get a cab

if its a secure car park then yeah it will be....CCTV should cover it...

Bristol Airport has a separate motorcycle parking area - I don't know what kind of security they have covering the area though as it's not in the main parking area. Oh - and it's free to park your bike there.

Only other alternative would be train to the middle of Bristol and get the airport shuttle bus - not gonna be cheap but at least you wouldn't be worried about your bike. Depends how early your flight is though.

Thanks

A really early flight so I reckon I will take them up on the airport parking and leave it in the hands of disk lock, chain, CCTV and God

I flew from Bristol last week, it cost £6 to leave the car their for 2 hours. Get a cab or something. Bike will be just as much I expect.

I suppose wearing your lid on the plane is out? lol

Is it rude of me to say if its security your after your doing well so far bud, just need the date and i'm sure someone will take great care of it

Going anywhere nice, oh and how long for exactly ???


Just kidding matey, bikers can be thieves as well you know


Hope you have a great trip

i'd guess so but when i picked my duke up from belfast i flew out and put my lid in a rucksack and it wasnt even questioned

Got stopped with a pair of shocks in my hand luggage last week. Confused them completely. Had to have a big discussion about them. I didn’t mention that they had oil and compressed nitrogen in them as well.

They didn’t take kindly to the bottle of water either. Oops.
