Have any of you left a motorbike in the Gatwick free parking for a few days?

I am flying out on Friday and Returning on Sunday. Any recommendations?

I read on here I can just turn up and park? : http://www.parkingforbikes.com/airport/londonairpo...

This sounds promising! Will just tip up tomorrow morning and abandon it somewhere then. Hopefully it will still be there when i return smile

Helmet and boots in the topbox. Tatty textile trousers over the lock (threaded down one leg), wear/take the jacket with me.

@Gatwick I just asked the parking attendant. ISTR it was a case of leaving it in the yellow hatched area in the corners of the ground floor of the short stay where the cars can't get into.. but that's just my memory.
I am never getting my helmet and boots in my top box, but i reckon i can get my textile trousers and jacket in one pannier, boots in the other and helmet in the top box. Sorted!

I will report back tommorow. I am getting there a few hours before my flight to make sure i have time to sort any issues.

Well just in case anybody wonders in future it was a breeze. Turned up at short stay parking near departures and drove around the barrier and stuffed my bike on the first floor of car park 5 behind a sign, all the gear in the panniers and I was done. Free parking galore!
