Gotta love this sign!

Was riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway in N.C. today and saw this sign.

I don't think they should be encouraging stunt riding. What move is that - a hang 5?

I believe it is an overhead view, much like the 270 degree curve sign above it. I think it is to be interpreted as 'High side ahead!'

That's high-siding with style!

The UK signs I've seen tend to be (relatively) graphic--one warning about the slow-turning shaft of a gas turbine-generator had a stick figure's head on one end and his little stick feet at the other--with his stick body twisted around the shaft 4-5 times!!

I was on the BRP during the last week of September. Every time a buddy of mine would see those signs he would enter the curve with his arms up and legs out, just like the picture. It still brings a smile just thinking about it.

Wish I had a cycle on the road to Hana in Maui.
One of the signs I read said "Slow - Dangerous Curves Next 30 Miles."
