New sign planted.   waytogo
Thanks whomever did that!


This was a spot that took out 13 cyclists in 2007 according to local EMT. (A couple of us ended up muddy and busted up here as well  Roll Eyes )
A blind crest hides an "es" curve and a driveway before a deceiving re-aligning out in Marin on Tomalas-Petaluma Rd.
It became a sore spot again when the homemade warning "curve ahead" sign that was there disappeared in late 2008.

A particular MOBster riding DQ's S4R almost feel victim to this spot a couple of months ago as it looks like a good spot to open the throttle.
That ended in a close call in the wrong lane brushing the black berries. Who knows how many times a month that happens.

One small place slightly safer. Check  waytogo

That even looks like an "official" sign.  waytogo (or is it home-made, too?)  Did you guys write a letter or something?  I forget the whole story.  You should post up the link(s) related to it.

The sign is off-center on the post. I smell guerrilla signage.

If so, Bravo! Lets hope the county (or whoever took the last one) leaves this one alone.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Speaking of guerrilla... however.






DQ doing his best Brave-Heart impression. (battle axe, long sword in back seat)
While 'looking' at it's splendor, somehow the earth jumped up and got all over him.  laughingdp

All that's missing now is some curbing up by the turn. That and free lunch at Moto Java for those that made the new sign happen!  waytogo

Definitely an optical illusion. That sign is dead-center.
