12. It's historical in nature
Luckily I didn't go into the mountain - I went over the cliff.
I was goin' at 150 miles an hour sideways and 500 feet down
at the same time.

I knew it was the end. I looked down, I said ''Wow! Some
trip". I thought it...well I knew it was...I knew it was my last
trip, and in my last remaining seconds in world,I decided
to write one last farewell song to the world.

Put a new ink cartridge in my pen. Took out a piece of paper.
I sat back and I thought awhile. Then I started writin':
I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle

And I don't want to die
Just want to ride on my motorcy ...cle."

21. 18-wheelers, too. Although maybe they don't disappear from the parkway, per se.
It's pretty damned scary, in parts.

22. I'm guessing that's supposed to be a curved road,
and they're suggesting that motorcyclists should slow down on curves to avoid going off the road - but the post about slippery rainbows is a much better interpretation...

24. What goes up must come down.
When riding up a steep incline I sometimes feel like gravity is trying to pull me back down. Maybe the sign has something to do with that? :shrug:

31. It's telling motorcyclists not to try to climb the hill
Edited on Sat Mar-31-07 03:33 AM by Jamastiene
because they will fall off the motorcycle... Or, maybe, it's telling them not to ride across that hill unless they are standing on the seat of their motorcycle with their hands in the air.

32. Sudden Crest. It means that motorbike riders need to watch out or they will lose contact with the
ground, and thus temporarily lose control. :)

36. Yes! I actually figured that out!
My first thought was "Danger! Do not exceed orbital velocity!" and then I realized that was actually pretty close.
