My Bike is in a Coma

    Hey, my bike broke down ages ago, in the short term car park in Dublin Airport, and I just left it there.
    I didn't intend to leave it there for so long, but the days became weeks, and before ya know it, the poor thing was in a deep coma.

    Anyhow, I'd love to get it up and running again.. BUT.... I don't know how to go about it.

    How can I get it out of the airport? It is completely dead. Is there a company that will go in and get it for me, and then give it some basic repairs? Or what is the best way to get it sorted?

    Depends on make of bike, the cheapest option is to get a mate with a van to go out and collect it yourself and check the obvious ie empty fuel tank and bat flattery. If all that fails then book it in with someone local to repair it.

    Its there about 2 months :eek:

    I got a friend to go up to the car park and try change the battery for me, but still no response from her. She has petrol too. But I have the feeling it could be down to the length of time she has been sitting there.


    EDIT: It is an mbk ovetto

    Surely your motorbike insurance policy covers breakdown.
    They will bring it to a garage.

    Count yourself lucky to still have it, the airport is notorious for bikes being lifted.
