Good Temporary Ground Anchor?

[TheSmiler]

Just wondered if anyone can recommend me a good ground anchor for temporary use, it only needs to last me 5 weeks (until I get my student loan) .

However only got a budget of £20 max anyone, been looking on ebay and found these which would you recommend

If they're a good ground anchor, they won't be temporary, technically neither of those should come out the ground after 5 weeks. Even if they weren't any good they should act as a deterrent at very least. Nothing else you can chain it too, hide it behind/under?

Disc lock?

Buy some concrete and get a pipe of some description that your chain will fit in.
Pour concrete in ground with pipe sticking out top...feed chain through that and thus under the concrete?

My best mate had this ground anchor: https://www.yanchor.com/

Which is essentially what I'm on about, but with less bodge pipe...more proper ground achoryness.
So yeah you could, but you said about it being cheap so I just said the cheapest thing I could think of!

I know people in the past have used an old car engine block, heavy and awkward to move, plus you can sell it as scrap when you have finished with it.

First day I got my bike home I chained it to the front bumper of my Landrover.

Enormous D-shackle, welded up and rebar-ed into some concrete. Largely free and simple.

I welded up 2 ground plates with half inch steel bar bent and welded onto it. Took about 25 minutes and they ain't coming out the floor any time soon

Why dont you just wait for your loan to come through and get one for around £40.

There are specific removable anchors but theyre going to cost you the same as the fixed versions.

Remember to think about the size of the chain your going to use, as ground anchors come in differnt sizes and its always advisable to fit the larger ground anchors as they are the same cost and should you upgrade to a larger chain in the future it will fit your GA.

For built in Ga's you cant go wrong with the Concave built in herehttps://www.elitesecuritysupplies.com/ground_motorcycle_anchors_built_in.html

If you must do a DIY fit I would suggest getting a piece of "rebar" from your local reclamation yard and cementing it in to an 18" x 18" hole.

Package ground anchor deals for chain and ground anchor are here :https://www.security-chains.com Also has motorcycle security guides and stolen bike alerts.

The best security is nobody knowing its there in the first place, a cover really helps if you can't get it totally out of sight.

When it has to be left outside overnight I've locked my bike to a cars tow hitch (ideally you'd know/ask the person first )

Whatever you decide, do get a ground anchor, I thought my R6 was safe as I had it covered, right outside window in my garden, disc-lock on front, chain around back wheel, plus additional shackle d-lock on back wheel, and guess what. It got nicked!!! The fuckers just dragged it away in the night into a van with all the locks still on the bike! Next time i'm definately concreting a metal bar in the ground and getting a chain from a shipyard!

And don't use some shitty mild steel chain either, use a proper one. Almax Immobiliser Series 3 or 4 is pretty good.

Thanks all for the extra tips,
I have managed to sort something out with a ground anchor and high quality chain, won't go into too much detail on here as you never know who is watching best to be too careful than not enough. However this thread will now be helpful for anyone who searches for ground anchor advice, or anyone that is worrying about ground anchors.

My advice would be to get a solid metal ring, and a plastic bucket and fill it with concrete. Place the metal ring in the concrete and once it has set, cut away the plastic bucket to reveal your anchor.

Once it is no longer needed, use a sledgehammer to dispose of the bits
