Hello TAM,
what's the meaning of this road-sign? Bikers, have fun for the next 2 miles?
In Germany the sign telling you 'bends ahead', especially with more than 1 mile, is often combined with something like 'Bikers, be prepared to fall on your nose' ... And that's a 'most-welcome' reason to limit our speed to 30 mph - with lorries pressing on-to you from behind with 55 mph ...
Kind regards, Bambi ... admitting, that of 10 bikes in the barn there are only 2 in black ... and one of them is going to change it's coulor in the near future to white with an orange frame. And the other one is a 1972 Triumph Bonneville painted in black with the red wing on the tank like the later Bonnies. So that doesn't really count, too ... sorry, guys!

Here is personality... (not mine)


If you look closely at my asphalt vfr post, you'll see that I had the '07, in fact it was an Anniversary RWB, but changed the Captain America scheme to Asphalt at the dealer. . .. Liked it much better.

Well I spouted off on the black thing, but I do have a black bike in the back of my garage.
Its an '83 KZ550. I had a red '81 KZ back in the day...
