Owning a bike is about passion and we - for what it's worth - develop a relationship of sorts with our bikes and want to care for them. Here is the link for the Wilddog parking thread. You may have to join to be able to see it but it's free. https://wilddog.net.za/threads/bike-parking-cape-town-international-airport.259416/#post-4843902 Thanks for the link ...

sawystertrance Posted November 14, 2022 Share It's a useful site for many reasons. there are some opinions voiced there with which I do not agree at all but overall I find it useful although it has an offroad bias. But threads like MotoGP, and day to day tech issues are very entertaining/interesting and give me pause for thought. Perhaps do a dry run to the airport using info you can find just to do a proof of concept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely give it a spin by arriving a little earlier and taking a look ... if I do not come right, then it will simply be the usual under cover spot.

Eddy Gordo Posted November 14, 2022 Share I used to do the bike cover thing at home and parked under cover at work. Eventually I settled with a tarp stretched over into a lean to. The cover removed the paint on all the contact areas, but this was years ago. Not sure what todays covers are like. Other option is a wendy at home if you have the space for it.

One of the guys in that thread said that the parking attendants were helpful so perhaps ask one of them when you get there. And if he doesn't know, find another.

Spokey Posted November 20, 2022 Share Just arrived home from Cape Town. We took a trip to collect this little beauty! 2010 model, so not old really but a nice example with minimal input to return to perfection!

Hairy Posted November 22, 2022 Share Rather interesting local bike up for sale https://www.bikeexif.com/custom-r-ninet?fbclid=IwAR3dhnj79BwabfWZXP6iJ41hvbms4CdeDUiwdop9E9Vq9DM-3s6QnRjy8_c https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10162733555599129&set=pcb.10162733563454129 mazambaan, WaynejG and Andrew_Smith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaynejG Posted November 22, 2022 Share Built by a local PE guy. This bike is a absolute masterpiece. All aluminium panels are formed by hand and no body putty used. You want to see the exhaust systems that he builds. Got him to do me a quote for a exhaust for the Rocket. It would of have been awesome but way above my budget.
