I want to place an anchor in the garage floor (cement) to which i
can
lock down my motorcycle. Any ideas about the best way to do
this without spending a bundle.

Thanks ahead, Phil

You can try 2 part epoxy. That stuff is stronger than the
concrete, so it should be able to hold a metal plate with an
eyebolt attached. Another idea would be to buy or rent a cheap
hammer drill and punch holes for a moly to insert an eyebolt
or holes to secure a plate to the floor. Yet another idea is
to use a nail driver (one of those that use .22 shells to drive
fasteners into concrete). They are inexpensive, costing a little
as $20.

Might as well just use screws. Its important to seal any openings for
water and radon.

Cheapest way likely would be to buy a masonry drill bit or 3, drill a suitable
size hole (7/16 or 1/2"?), and screw in an eyebolt using an anchor. To help
prevent backing it out, add some permanent thread-lock compound or epoxy after
you test the alignment, etc.
