    Recovery points

    really not a good idea Ht steel used like that can fail instead of deforming first You can demonstrate this by getting a m16 bolt and brake it by trying to bend it What im trying to say is those u bolts are strong on a dead straight pull but any lift or drop on the pull could cause failure

    I commute 150miles per day by motorcycle and having close ones having to avoid lumps of crap on the road is tiresome What you consider a harmless mistake can kill or maim a biker Did i mean to offend no, did i wish to show my disgust yes I ll crawl back into my cave now

    Recovery points

    The motorist who finds them with his tyre (i would think bolt is still in it sitting up like a spike)or the biker who gets thrown off because of hitting them with their tyre will be impressed by your stupidity in forgeting the nuts!
