Yard art

Tire is off, ready to plastidip flat black. Clock is coming from Amazon.Also need a brake disc. No idea how I'm going to mount it on the wall. Any ideas?

The quick and easy would be a loop or two of SS safety wire attached where convenient.
Two point would probably be best due to weight perhaps a M6 threaded hole on ether side for a bolt drilled for the safety wire loop.
 
Drill a hole thru the rim at the bead and hang it? Are you OK with the rim not being usable again??

Two tapcons should do it.17175466893474655955766665725527.jpg
 
Here's an example on Hockley Valley Rd...

I think that bike's been moved around a few times since the photo, but I like it and it seems cool.
That sidecar rig has been there for a couple of years now. The owner decorates it seasonally. Lights on it over Christmas and a pair of skeletons during Halloween. It looks like a Honda Four, but I'm not sure. I'm going to stop and have a closer look next time I ride by.

I would do the same...but zero chance my wife would let that sit in our front/back/side yard...

Garden is her territory, so I just mow the lawn and move things from one spot to another.

EDIT: we have 2 gargoyles that Kevin left and I love them. I have been fighting the last 4 years to keep them. Their names are Lolek and Bolek. @oioioi will understand.

A buddy gave me a beautiful pair of large ape hangers. So I did the right thing and cut them into pieces. Then I welded them back together to make a yard art snake. Since snakes have a forked tongue I welded a nut and bolt to the inside of it's mouth so I could fasten a red painted fork as it's tongue.
Since then I have made up different "fork" tongues for different seasons or occassions I have forks with a poppy, an easter egg, four leafed clover christmas presents, a ghost and more.
The snake hides out under the blue spruce on my front lawn. It's fun to watch the little kids spot it.

Pics or it didn’t happen!
 
IMG_1186.JPGHere's some of the tongues. The snake pics were too large to load. What's the work around for that??
 
It's bigger than I expected. If you get rid of the URL parts, pics appear in the post. Without spaces you want [ img] image file.jpg [ /img]

Nose to tail it's likely 5 feet. Sadly the blue and yellow ribbons are quite faded. Didn't expect they would be there for more than two years.
 
Thanks. It's hidden some by the branches. I had to climb in under to snap that shot. Because they're shorter young children can see it easier. It's great fun to see the kids stop and point it out to their parents.
 
Just stumbled on this thread.

@hdsomeday, this was not a stupid idea and could be executed pretty well. The outside is yours! Walks away with tail between legs

@Wingboy, did you finish that clock? Would love to see it. Tire shops mount rims to walls all the time, I'm sure there is a proper mounting bracket for it. Pop into one, I bet they have some kicking around.

Still trying to find a brake disc.
