Re: Road sign that could be used almost anywhere.

We were in Tuscany a few years ago and their widespread practice, where any rural back road was deteriorating, was to downgrade it to a ‘track’ and just pour a load of dusty gravel over the top.

Re: XR400 is it any good ???

Re: WillS RIP

A charming man and as Steve says, a Gentleman.
