I was wondering where to go next and realised I must share with you a road just round the corner from me. I present you with Nut Bush Lane in Torquay. I decided the best photo opportunity also included the sign for the Ring Road.

I will take another ride and look for a name sign on the other side of the village. This road sign was the side I usually go.

Looking on Goggle street view there is a name sign on the other side of the village. I don't use that road on my approach and it's not the easiest to photograph but I'll see if I can manage one on a quiet day next time I'm passung though.

I tried that one.
Even stuck V-Strom logos on the side of the Varadero.

It is the Dorset spelling of Pinocchio. I presume he had a wooden cock
