The possibility's enough when you're a smoker, especially if it doesn't leave you with enough time to top up the nicotine levels before jumping on the plane. -- Krusty Raptor 1000 MV 750 Senna Tiger 955i Tiger 885 Fantic Hiro 250

If it's the one under the on-ramp between T1 and T2, I dunno. There must be another close by. >I've seen where the bike parking is for T5 but not sure about > T1/T3/T4 - I assume by your post that they exist. There's bike parking at T4, yes. You go past the drop-off (or is it pick-up? The one on ground level, anyway) point on the ground floor, and the road bears round to the right, and the bike parking's under the off-ramp from the pick-up (or drop-off) point on the upper floor. T5 is the best, because it's purpose built with nice little roofing to keep the rain off and pretty flower beds. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools
