i think the white would look nice, but it may show the dirt a lot better then the blue. but my vote still goes with a clean white

They are parking bollards that you can lock up to stop people from parking in your spot. There are plenty of people out there who (especially on friday, saturday nights) would run the risk of parking in somebody elses spot and since my carpark is in a prime location and would sell for over $10,000 per year, it needs protecting   :thumb:.

How are they secured to the ground? If it's just a few bolts are you at all concerned that someone will toss the bollard and the bike in the back of a truck and make off with it?

no matter what if someone wants your bike bad enough... they will have it... but small things like locking handlebars and chains stop ordinary thieves from taking bikes... or parking...

it would only take 2 guys to lift a GS into the back of a truck and make off with it if they really wanted it bad enough
