  1. I saw this item that allows you to secure your bike to a wall or floor. It is pretty much a
    permanent thing. I require one because my new flat has no outside storage to speak of and the flat
    is also too small to get all my other things, plus my g/f's things into. There is an outside area
    which is shared with our neighbours and is gated off from the main steps leading up to the flats. We
    know the neighbours very well as they were the ones that first told us about the flat. Any way back
    to the ground bolt loop thingy. I saw a picture of one advertised and I can't find it. The picture
    is of a guy on a forklift trying to rip the bolt from the ground but with forklift tipping over
    forkside, i.e bolt holding firm. Does any one know what I'm on about and where can I get one?

    P.S. The new flat takes 6 miles off my commute leaving me with only 1.5 miles to work. :o(

    Have I missed some fundemental internet NG coding or is Trev having a wind up. I doubt it though,
    since both passed on before I was born. Would love to of met them though. Sounded like a great
    pair of guys.

    Do a google on "ground anchor" and take your pick. Very popular in the world of motorcycling.

  6. They are called Ground Anchors. Motorbikers use them alot. this is quite a good one that is flush
    with the ground when not in use

    Try motorcycle accessory dealers such as M&P (www.mandp.com) or MPS (www.thefastone.co.uk)

    Such ground anchors range from about £15 to £150+

    Oh, well, even nicer in the circumstances, then!

    No, you haven't missed any fundamental internet no-go coding, I'm just winding you up.
