Alternative ground anchor solution

[fullscreenaging]

Hi guys and girls

Long time since last post. I changed jobs last year and have been really busy with training in Denmark, getting used to shifts and general every day life stuff....

...anyway, I have chopped the Tracer in for something a little bigger engine wise and extra cylinder wise (didn't realise I missed the in line 4 so much until I test rode [emoji23])

I rang my insurance company to update details and they stipulated that this time I need to have a ground anchor......

..... I have a wooden shed....

Anyway after much searching for a suitable 'GROUND ANCHOR' that I could somehow attach to the floor or wall of my shed and not have any would be thief in fits of laughter at the futile attempt to stop them, I discovered this....

I drilled out a hole in my shed floor then drilled a hole in the slab underneath and smacked it with a sledge hammer. Job done in 10 mins [emoji3]

Hopefully this with help someone else on here that is struggling for a solution

Nice one, makes it comply with insurance terms (hopefully!), thanks for sharing. I might have a use for that for a garden hammock too. Thx

Would work better if you stuck it through the bike thief instead of the floor!

Hmmm, I know some people that would love the use of that, but maybe not for its intended purpose!

Hopefully you checked for any pipes/cables beforehand

On a serious note that looks handy for areas where we are not aloud to install anchors into the road/pavement.

would have to spin the whole shed around with the bike still inside!

This is just a deterrent really. If a pro gets in they'll more than likely cut the chain with a grinder. They'll have to cut the disc lock too.

This was the conversation I had with the guy at my ins company. If they want it bad enough, nothing will stop them

Some funny comments....

I have one of these with extra long bolts concreted into the bottom of my shed and it does the job.

just pass the chain through sorted. I got one from scrap trailer
