Thats going to weigh a lot

I agree. I think I have a good plan for a secure mount.

Just talk to Stratton. He keeps flipping bikes so fast, you could stick up on enough chain in a few months!

Between Stratton, Tyson, and Russ I should be good!

Where are you going to source the chain? Offer cycle shops some $ or pizza for used chain?

This is my thought. I imagine with a little time it could all come together.

I've been wanting to do something in the corner of our driveway for a very long time. There has always been some large cherry bushes that grow like crazy, scratch my trucks, and look horrible.
I've wanted something motorcycle related, but every thing I tried just didn't seem to work right. I found a guy who makes motorcycle art. The entire bike is made from odd parts like coffe cans, painted CD's, lug nuts, etc. it was perfect.
I forgot to get a real before photo, but here it is with the bushes pulled out.

I removed about a foot of dirt. There is actually a main power box for the neighborhood under the dirt that became exposed, so i dug it out, made it shorter, and got it back down below ground level.


I made some more steel planter boxes, and we used the same grasses and flowers we have around the other planters and water feature in our yard.

How do you intend to keep that from driving off? I like it.

I cemented some rebar into the ground and welded the bike to it. I have already come to terms that it is a possibility that the bike will be stolen. I hope it won't. And I hope that the cement at least makes it difficult.

I made some changes to the way the fountain flows, and got it to have more of a babbling brook sound.
we have a steady stream of song bids, finches, and canaries that come and drink from it.
I didn’t get a good photo, but this is a lovely pair that come very often.
