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![]

September 15, 2005 at 1:37 pm #31752barmy_carmyParticipantLol! 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.

September 20, 2005 at 5:32 pm #31753GSF K1ParticipantBarmy, got a few of those signs on some roads around here. Norfolk not too far from me, but I’ve been in Turkey for the last week (landed at 0400 this morning – shattered!!)
Go out with a BANG… Light a fart!
September 21, 2005 at 12:36 pm #31754barmy_carmyParticipantTurkey 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?
