    I know Radar did, bless his cotton socks![;)] Forgot to say I was away a couple of days. Went to take my 2 daughters to their grandparents for the week. They live in a village called Snettisham, which is in between Kings Lynn and Hunstanton, Norfolk, and to my surprise I saw to new signs which I’ve never seen before…. 1 sign was a pic of a motorcylist and under it it said “Think Bike” another sign there was a pic of a car and a motorcyclist side by side underneath it said “Motorcyclist overtaking”. now this is what I call biker friendly, there was very few potholes in fact I only come across 2 potholes, I also noticed the manhole covers in road had a different surface. It was so refreshing, now why cant other counties do the same? Wonders will never cease![:D]

    We have them signs on some roads in Staffordshire, also in Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire. Cagers seem just as oblivious though….



    LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, VODKA in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!

    Lol! Got enough of them in our little Cul de Sac. We got 3 families like that living here, and are little peaceful area,(Which is what it was like before that lot moved in) Now there’s rubbish everywhere, including dumped in my garden too, loads of dogs barking, shouting and fighting and listening to loud music into the early hours. They assume the whole street wants to hear them, wouldnt mind so much if they didnt invade my space, but they do and everybody else’s.

    Turkey ya lucky ickybimble! I wish they had them bike signs nationwide, would make car drivers more aware of bikes. And wouldnt it be nice to have potholeless roads?
