Kmon said: The road going down to Leverick Bay has 2 or 3 humongous speed bumps. He apparently hit one of these in the dark. Yea he called them "sleeping policemen" <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

The speed bumps in leverick Bay are very dangerous even for a car. They are very abrupt with little to no signs showing the bumps especially at night. It appears that owners of property at leverick Bay paved their section of the road with about 3-4 inches of concrete. My feeling is that there are far too many speed bumps on Virgin Gorda with no signs or yellow marks on the raod and again at night it is dangerous. Government should evaluate all these bumps throughout the island. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" />

Got to agree with that, much prefer a heli, versus pounding through some waves in a go fast boat?? No thanks on the boat!

Schwendy said: Wonder why it appears that he's wearing two watches? Pure speculation... but Branson was on a training run with that bike. Either one or both of those could be part of a bike training computer, uber fit bit, and/or apple watch. Who knows maybe he was texting or posting to social media when he launched off the "sleeping policeman" in the dark. If Branson did not have both on while he was still laying in the street on Virgin Gorda. I might think one was a tiny dive computer letting everyone know when it was safe again for Richard to fly. Richard Branson should get a Gold Medal for never ending self promotion.
