    Long term parking in Cincinnati

    I'm flying out of Cincinnati in a few weeks, will be gone for ten days or so. Thinking about riding my bike the three hours to the airport.

    Two questions:

    One, in long-term parking, park on side stand or center stand?
    Two, with a cover or no?

    or Three, anybody live near the Cincinnati airport and want to host my bike for a couple weeks?

    or Four, just drive the cage.

    Hey, shoot me a PM and you can keep it at my garage if you'd like (45 mins north of Cinci in Miamisburg).

      Do I recall properly that the Cinci airport is really in Kentucky.....?

      Sounds like an adventure.

        Yes, the Cincy airport is across the Mighty Ohio River in Kentucky.

        And plans have changed a little and I'll very likely be driving instead of riding to Cincy. Probably maybe.


        But I'm still curious... if you were parking your bike in an airport parking lot for a week, would you put it on the side stand or the center stand?

          Outside parking or under cover?

          Blacktop or concrete?

          Kickstand pad available?

          If it's on concrete or in a parking garage (in the shade), it won't matter too much.

          If it's on blacktop and in the sun, definitely NOT on the centerstand.

          Even without the sun, using a pad under the kickstand would be preferred.

            Right on. That's why I asks.

              Long term parking at CVG is just a big parking lot with no cover (reasonably secure, though). I would definitely recommend the center stand. Ten days of exposure to the elements shouldn't be too harmful to the bike, so I wouldn't worry about covering it. Short-term parking is a multilevel ramp, but I don't like paying for even short stays in there. I could make space for you here in the garage, but I can't promise availability to give rides to and from the airport if it would conflict with having a day job. Let me know if you decide you want to try it.
