As far as I can tell, there's no circle around it and a slash through it. That would be "NO riding"... It just seems to indicate "Please ride in an insane manner, and other motorists should be aware that you are insane."

I stand corrected - I always confuse the two.

I think the sign was mounted wrong. It's supposed to be rotated ccw by 90 degrees.

No, it's a warning that there are sharp bends so don't be looking at the scenery when you should be paying attention to the road, or you'll end up in deep poopy.

The reason I already had a crappy shot was a friend of mine was riding through there and had the triple tree (front end) of his bike lock up so he couldn't turn. He went off on the shoulder but unhurt. His wife grabbed a shot of the bike and the sign, thinking he was lucky it happened by the sign and not where the sign was warning about.

And don't be trying to work out what the sign actually means rather than watching the road ahead...
