Anyone know if it is genuine / legal?
Or just some locals (perhaps understandably) keen to minimise the number of bikes outside their homes?

not heard that one, maybe we should have a rideout to go have a look? :w00t:
Maybe they just take it down on Sundays.
Is the sign in the short dead end road directly outside the cafe? I always thought is was the “done thing” to park on the main road to save Rita, the owner of Bosworths, from getting hassle from the locals who live next to the cafe. On the BCR we always park up in the main road and it’s no real hardship having to walk 20ft across the grass.
+1I don’t think it will be a legally enforcable one - probably just one that Rita has stuck there. There is only space in that little spot of land for 3/4 cars and if they couldn’t park there - then at weekends they’d probably have to go park on the other side of the bridge because they can’t move for bikes.
This is blatant discrimination against a minority - are they going to be banning us from using other public facilities - swimming pools, public toilets - where will it end?!!!
if i remember rightlits an actual proper sign isnt it like so:
therefor surely its enforcable??
Happy to stand corrected - I’ve never noticed it to be honest - was just guessing that it was probably one that has been stuck up rather than one that people get done for flouting …
its at the entrance to the lil road that runs at the front of the pub and boswells
gotta love google
its there becuase from the corner just past the bus stop there is a single yellow line:Wow: thgis runs to the entrance/front of ritas tea shop (bosworths)
so it IS enforcable and yes they do appear on sundays:)
Well everyone parks on the other side of the bit of grass anyway, so we can go on ignoring it!
Blue Lagos you’re a scaremonger!!!
The sign and that rule are a great example of when regulations get it right. The rule exists to make things peaceful and good for cars and neighbours, without being disruptive to the occasional biker guest.
All happy in the 'field (its the ones with the pitch forks further down the road you have to be careful of!)
This sign only applys to faired motorcycles.
For what it’s worth, there’s an A road in the Black Forest which goes through lots of villages and has a sign up that prohibits motorcycles from 22:00 - 08:00 … probably thanks to the idiots with loud pipes that go hooning through there at weird hours while the locals are trying to get some kip.
Fair play to them, I’d say, they freaking live there. Of course it annoys me as a rider of a bike that’s silent like the proverbial Ninja and has no desire of annoying anyone.
Our sign looks like this, with the times posted underneath:
So maybe it applies to full faced lids only? I should be able to get away with it
Is it legal? / enforceable? / enforced?
About blinkin time too. The thought of oily bikers using public facilities…it preposterous!
Good for the sign, I can’t remember seeing it there but why would bikers park right in front of the shops? It would be crap for anyone eating outside also, imagine all the petrol smell.
Ahhh that explains the sign we saw in a small french village a few weeks back which had between the hours of 21.00-0900 underneath it.
Thats just ridiculous :unsure:
