Here is another option I found on the Net. http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/catego...ackle-10-34370 This site also has reviews of several ground anchors.

aaand here is something pretty cool - a 40" long spike you hammer into the ground - they post a video of a jeep trying unsuccessfully to pull it out. http://www.memphismetalfabrication.c...ndanchors.html

When you install it, follow the instructions exactly. It's important to use the anchor as a drill jig so all of the holes line up when done. The drill bit tends to walk when starting, and needs the next hole in the anchor to guide it.

This has only been brought and discussed in detail 48,456,677 times...

And every time the consensus is, if they want it, they'll get it.

And, having the proper insurance is cheaper and has MUCH better results (New bike replacement, Ins. Value higher most times than actual SALE value) than,,, buying locks.

So, using that logic, you wouldn't mind if they backed a truck up to your house and loaded up the entire contents of the place?

I'm quite aware that anything can be done given enough time and tools. What I do is to make it difficult enough so they look for someone else's stuff to steal. Like yours.

Those who are stupid enough to try anyway will almost certainly leave in a body bag via the morgue wagon.

Sorry, the material object in this hypothetical is worth what in your opinion again?

...Look, I love my first condom too, but I gotta be realistic here... (Not gonna stretch it over a Billy Bass and say "hey y'all, watch this" every time company comes over.)

And as much as I lov... like my bikes, it's a part of life to deal with loss and the new bike will be welcome and accepted in time.

Not material at all. It's the principle of the thing. I hate fucking felon sociopaths, knowing that the courts will only slap their hands. My preference would be to chop their hands off like they do in Saudi Arabia, but that's illegal here. So............

Still don't see it huh?

Blinded by yer programming...

"Not material at all" Are you humanizing inanimate objects? Humanizing = Worshiping?

"It's the principal" Your programming, right? Then yes, you are right... And clear who you serve.

So you hate Marines then? Either way you obviously "hate"

???

"Former Marine Ryan Jerome does not believe in partial victories.

You may recall Jerome was arrested for felony gun possession during a visit to NYC last September. He voluntarily checked in his firearm at the Empire State Building, as it was legally registered in another state, and he believed he was in compliance with the law."

PS, taking the plea would make him a "sociopath" to YOU.

I wonder if Nick was in gun-free zone??? You know THAT would have made him a felon, sorry "sociopath" if he fired, right?

Do you hate me? Wanna kill me because we have an indifference? ...to a hypothetical?

"So, according to your logic" theft, is worth death?

God forbid you ever have to bug out, or ride to safety to save your own or anothers life, and all you can find is the motorcycle of another person like you.

I know (vanity) I have two, but can only ride one... (Divine intervention?)

j/k end topic. (it's illegal) (Like False Flag missions on American soil)

See my location Pete... 6 cops total, 4 ALONE Walmart security (Walmart (Privately owned) has no Metro (Civil owned) provided security), in view on a recent trip to Lowes.

When my wife and I travel on the bikes, I carry the same kryptonite chain and lock 150ron posted a pic of and I lock the bikes together through the rear wheels. We also use a xena disc lock alarm.

When the bikes are parked at home, they reside inside a 6' tall page wire fence enclosure with these three on lookout.

No theft problems at home so far
